Bug #396774 talks about an approach of overwriting the element details in
subclasses but only some fields. If we want to allow this (and overwriting in
general) we could still move it from base_init to class_init:
gst_element_base_class_init() will copy the element details and the subclass
will change whatever it wants in class_init.

>From how I understand [0] this is how it should be done anyway, the class that
has the class structure field that contains something dynamic (and which has to
be copied) should care about doing whatever is necessary in base_init.
