plugin: add release datetime field to GstPluginDesc and set it if
GST_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME is defined
It would be nice if plugins had some kind of date/time info that indicates in
absolute time what API/ABI/release version they're dealing with.
Module version numbers are not very useful for comparisons across different
modules or to ensure that a plugin is at least a certain version.
Attached patch adds an optional release_datetime field to GstPluginDesc, which
can be set by defining a certain preprocessor macro. In GStreamer modules, this
would either be set to the current date and time in case of git/prerelease, or
the date of the release, extracted from the .doap file if it's a release.
