Getting the element factory name.

[Michael Smith]

GST_ELEMENT_NAME on an element will give you the element name. If
that's what you want - great.

However, you ASKED for the element factory name. For that, you can use
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_NAME(elementfactory).

Note that you want to call this on the element factory, NOT the element.
