I think the support gstcontext for vaapi elements was introduced pretty 
lately
(if i'm not mistaken 1.13.90) so i guess it worth removing this code 
only in higher
versions

Not critical and also can be done later but maybe worth to implement in 
a create_context function
so later we can have something like:

create_vaapi_context()

create_gl_context()

...
