While we have some agreement about CONTROLLABLE and PRESETTABLE, what to do
with USER_EDITABLE. This could also be added as a negative form : UI_SKIP.

An application that generates UI for elements would benefit from hints to aid
hiding stuff that does not make sense to be configured via ui. First one can
apply some heuristics:
* hide parameters with pointer or object types (hard to edit from ui in a
generic way)
* hide construct/constructonly or !writable properties

The remeaining onews would benefit from the hint. Where would I apply it in
core:

GObject: name
GstBaseSink: sync, qos, async
GstBaseTransform: qos 

FakeSink: <all>
FakeSrc: <all>
FdSrc: fd
FdSink: fd
FileSink: buffer-mode, buffer-size
FileSrc: fd, mmapsize, touch, use-mmap, sequential
Identity: <all>
MultiQueue: <none>
Queue: <none>
Tee: <none>

We could probably lower the amount of propertes that need the hint by using
CONSTRUCT or CONSTRUCT_ONLY  more often (filesrc).
