This can be used to store informational messages, errors or
warnings which can later be shown to the user in gst-inspect-1.0,
which can be useful for plugins that expose elements dynamically
based on external libraries or hardware capabilities.
Status messages can then provide an indication as to why a
plugin doesn't have any elements listed, for example.
Plus unit test to make sure code paths are exercised a little.
