Benjamin Otte e149d96faa major rewrite of the spider.
Original commit message from CVS:
major rewrite of the spider.
Now uses GstSpiderConnection to track current connections and remember the way they're plugged.
Advantages of this approach:
- function prototypes are now much cleaner.
- Allow event propagation (EOS) to elements that are not connected but plugged.
- Allow deconstruction of plugged pipes. (not implemented)
Disadvantage:
- I screwed up naming (always get src and sink the wrong way). It's very inconsistent in the gstspider.[ch] files
- a little more time and memory are needed to manage the structs

/**
* Theory of operation:
* When connecting a sink to a source, GstSpiderConnections are used to keep track
* of the current status of the connection. sink -> src is the path we intend to
* plug. current is how far we've come. If current equals
* - NULL, there is no possible path,
* - src, the connection is established.
* - sink, it wasn't tried to establish a connection.
* - something else, we have come that far while plugging.
* signal_id is used to remember the signal_id when we are waiting for a "new_pad"
* callback during connection.
* When a path is established, the elements in the path (excluding sink and src)
* are refcounted once for every path.
* A GstSpider keeps a list of all GstSpiderConnections in it.
