Various elements are assuming that the pointer matches a pad template
they know about, and also randomly created pad templates might be
missing some important information that is necessary to create a valid
pad.
For example, creating a new pad template for audiomixer's sinkpad
without providing the correct GType would cause audiomixer to create a
GstAggregatorPad. That will then later fail spectacularly because it
assumes that it got a GstAudioAggregatorPad.
Passing a pad template that does not belong to the element class in here
will easily lead to undefined behaviour.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as
last resort. There is no need to mock gettex API any more.
This fix static build on Windows because G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION must
be defined before including libintl.h, and glib does it for us as part
as including glib.h.

Dynamically registered elements (hardware element in most cases)
may or may not be available on a system and properties may be different
per system.
This new API will make documentation skipping possible in programmable way.
