[Bug 648010] Better handling of blacklisted plugins: re-scan occasionally, store reason for blacklisting

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #8 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
Michael: yes, the purpose of the registry cache is to avoid loading hundreds of
plugins on every gst_init(), or when we need to find all elements that can do
X.

The cache should be refreshed when GStreamer plugins get upgraded, removed or
added.

The cache won't get refreshed when just the underlying library that a GStreamer
plugin depends on gets updated, but the GStreamer plugin doesn't get updated
(which shouldn't be a problem, unless ABI changes, in which case the GStreamer
plugin needs to be updated as well of course).
