Working LV2 plugin discovery.

- Separate gstsignalprocessor into a separate library (not sure if this
  is in the right place, but it works for now anyway)
- Create LV2 element based on LADSPA element, port most discovery
  functionality

+ * This baseclass allows to write elements that need data on all pads before
+ * their processing function can run.
+ *
+ * In push mode (gst_signal_processor_chain) it operates as follows:
+ * 1. store each received buffer on the pad and decrement pending_in
+ * 2. when pending_in==0, process as much as we can and push outputs
+ *
+ * In pull mode (gst_signal_processor_getrange) is operates as follows:
+ * 1. if there is an output ready, deliver
+ * 2. otherwise pull from each sink-pad, process requested frames and deliver
+ *    the buffer
