José Alburquerque 7ff2f9233f API: Add gst_plugin_register_static_full()
This is mainly useful for bindings that need to provide
some additional user data to the registration function.

Fixes bug #545787.

/**
* SECTION:gstplugin
* @short_description: Container for features loaded from a shared object module
* @see_also: #GstPluginFeature, #GstElementFactory
*
* GStreamer is extensible, so #GstElement instances can be loaded at runtime.
* A plugin system can provide one or more of the basic
* <application>GStreamer</application> #GstPluginFeature subclasses.
*
* A plugin should export a symbol <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol> that is a
* struct of type #GstPluginDesc.
* the plugin loader will check the version of the core library the plugin was
* linked against and will create a new #GstPlugin. It will then call the
* #GstPluginInitFunc function that was provided in the
* <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol>.
*
* Once you have a handle to a #GstPlugin (e.g. from the #GstRegistry), you
* can add any object that subclasses #GstPluginFeature.
*
* Usually plugins are always automaticlly loaded so you don't need to call
* gst_plugin_load() explicitly to bring it into memory. There are options to
* statically link plugins to an app or even use GStreamer without a plugin
* repository in which case gst_plugin_load() can be needed to bring the plugin
* into memory.
