gst_element_add_pad() is supposed to activate the pad if the element
state is >= PAUSED and the pad is not already active.
Unfortunately, before this patch, the activation was performed while the
element lock was still taken, which ended causing a deadlock in
gst_pad_start_task() as it attempted to post `stream-status` message in
the element, which also requires the element lock.
Elements could work around this bug by activating the pad manually
before adding it to the element.
This patch fixes the problem by performing pad activation only after the
element lock has been released.

Previously it was only possible to request them with the exact template
name, e.g. 'src_%s', but not with "instantiated" names that would match
this template, e.g.'src_foo_bar'.
This is now possible and a test was added for this, in addition to
fixing a previously invalid test.
