registry: add support for GST_REGISTRY_REUSE_PLUGIN_SCANNER=no

Tentative patch, seems to work.

This will make sure we spawn a new plugin scanner helper for each plugin
to be introspected, which helps with making sure we don't load too many
shared objects (libs, plugins) at the same time on systems where there
is a hard limit like on Android.

FIXME: a better version would re-use the scanner for up to N times
