While trying to use GstHarness to write a test, I discovered that if you use a
src harness, the serialized events get forwarded separately from the buffer.
This causes two problems: they are pushed outside the control of the test, and
they get out of sync with the buffers.

My solution is to put the serialized buffers in the same GAsyncQueue as the
buffers, and then forward the on gst_harness_pull() if there is a pad to
forward too, otherwise drop them. This also means that gst_harness_pull_event()
will no longer see them, so instead I'm proposing to add a specialized function
for that.

Another option is to just put them in the buffres queue is there is a pad to
forward to, but it seems less elegant.
