Patch to fakesink to show the issue

Since the refactoring of GstContext I am no longer able to get a shared context
for an element that is used twice in a pipeline. I used the documentation and
eglglessink as my reference for implementing the GstContext logic.

As the code was tied to a hardware decoder, I have ported the GstContext code
to fakesink to show the problem. Using the old API a single ExampleMgr instance
was created, but using the new API each element is creating its own instance.

There is some gst-indent spam in the patch, but as the patch is only to explain
the issue, hopefully that won't count against me :)
