René Stadler 5800757369 Revert gst_plugin_feature_get_name to const string return
Returning a newly allocated string makes no sense. It's unexpected for a
getter, and also this behaves differently in 0.10, so it would make future
merges harder.

Except for these two places here in core which were updated for the new
semantic, the return value is getting leaked all over the place.
