Decodebin can now handle delaying the plugging of pads until they have fixed
caps set on them (using the "notify::caps" on pads).

Not quite the same but needed for some RTP depayloaders.

As a general note, I prefer elements to use the typefind helpers as much as
possible instead of plugging typefind elements (or worse decodebins). The
reason being that when a pad has non caps, it's unclear that the type is not
known to gstreamer, not yet known to the element, or never known to the element
and thus external typefinding is needed (which might lead again to the above
three situations).
