Having it in class init was not sufficient, as then I would free the pango
layout and pnago would release the type-plugins. I keep it now in _init() but
wrapped it with gonce (thanks for suggestion).

    textoverlay: add a hack to init the pango engine

    Layout a single char to pre-create all resources.

I got no more crashers, but once these warnings:
(gst-launch-0.10:18177): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans Mono 18'
(gst-launch-0.10:18177): Pango-WARNING **: font_face status is: no error has
occurred
(gst-launch-0.10:18177): Pango-WARNING **: scaled_font status is: invalid
matrix (not invertible)
(gst-launch-0.10:18177): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='DejaVu Sans Mono 18', text='10:40:54'

That could still be a race or a different bug.
