Had a long IRC discussion with Wim about this. He doesn't think we need to have
a memory pool at all, he thinks the GstAllocator subclass should do that on
their own, I'll re-write some of my branch to match that. I'll try to split up
the patches at the same time.

The draining stuff is indeed orthogonal.

The reason for gst_allocator_wait_for_empty() is that once we remove the
NO_SHARE flag on on the buffers (which is evil), then the GstMemory could get
attached to buffers created by someone else (for example, if an element
sub-buffers), so the GstBuffers may be back in the pool, but it doesn't mean
all of the memory has been freed.
