Windows: Make GStreamer Data and plug-ins relocatable.

Hi,

It seems from the win32/common/config.h that the paths of plugins, libraries,
data, locale stuff are hardcoded to some sub-folder under c:\gstreamer on
Windows builds.

This patch adds functionality to the various sources in gst/ to make up the
corresponding paths dynamically at run-time, so that the plug in DLLs and other
data can be moved without rebuilding the code.  This is done in a similar way
to code in the GTK+ stack, as installation destinations of Windows programs are
subject to change from installation to installation.

Thanks for the time, with blessings!
