configurable user agent for network elements
Submitted by Stefan Kost @ensonic

Description
Some streaming servers tune their replies based on the user-agent they received.
For that purpose souphttpsrc has "user-agent" and even "extra-headers" properties. rtspsrc does not have any of this (yet).
Also this mechanism would require the application to set it, while I wonder if it makes sense to have a configure flag to set the user-agent (and put that into gstconfig.h). if the configure is not given we use "GStreamer/0.10". Having a more detailed version (including base and ev. the plugin in use) would need to be build differently.
