Otherwise it can happen that e.g. the stream-start event is tried to be
sent as part of pushing the first buffer. Downstream might not be in
PAUSED/PLAYING yet, so the event is rejected with GST_FLOW_FLUSHING and
because it's an event would not cause the blocking pad probe to trigger
first. This would then return GST_FLOW_FLUSHING for the buffer and shut
down all of upstream.

To solve this we return GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP for all events. In case of
sticky events they would be resent again later once we unblocked after
blocking on the buffer and everything works fine.

Don't handle events specifically in sink pad blocking pad probes as here
downstream is not linked yet and we are actually waiting for the
following CAPS event before unblocking can happen.
