Currently, GstDateTime provides a gst_date_time_new_from_unix_epoch, which
results in a local timezone with the given unix epoch time.

IMHO, it should default to UTC, as that's how unix epoch times is represented,
or we should provide 2 versions of this function, just like glib gdatetime
does.

We should fix this before the release to allow us to change API.

A quick grep doesn't show it being used in any plugin so far.
