For the pad templates we could do the following to move that to class_init now
already:

- copy the pad template list in GstElement's base_init (are GstPadTemplate
meant to be immutable? in that case we can simply ref them in the new list,
otherwise we have to copy them too)
- change _add_pad_template() so when it encounters a pad template name that was
already added it also checks whether the pad template is completely the same
and if so ignore the second addition silently, otherwise complain as we
currently do.

This would allow to move it now already without breaking compatibility... what
do you think?
