gst: Fix a lot of GLib deprecations and errors

Yes, I ran out of steam and only fixed the main library, not anything in
libs/gst/base. This patch also breaks ABI, so it will have to wait until we can
break the ABI again. For now, just build with deprecations off. Do something
like:

    make GLIB_EXTRA_CFLAGS='-UDISABLE_GLIB_DEPRECATIONS'

to do that.

The gsttask.c replacement is also horribly incorrect, and I knew this at the
time of filing. Unfortunately, there are and will not be replacements for
g_rec_mutex_lock_full g_rec_mutex_unlock_full, so someone is going to rewrite
the gsttask.c code so that it doesn't play horrible hacks with locks. That
someone will not be me.

I'm updating this patch to apply to master, because it's an easy job, and
someone can use this patch as a starting point to unbreak deprecations when ABI
breaks. I'm not really a gstreamer developer, so I don't know the code that
well. This is my first time ever looking at gstreamer code, actually. I just
dug in and replaced gst_mutex_new with the associated equivalents.
