decodebin3: Don't send sticky events to unlinked decoder

Edward Hervey requested to merge bilboed/gstreamer:db3-revert-sticky-event-decdoer into main

This causes a lot of nasty side effects (like decoders assuming they are actually linked downstream).

The reason why this was done was to check whether a decoder could handle the actual caps, but this is the wrong way to do it.

The proper way to query whether a decoder can handle certain caps is via GST_QUERY_ACCEPT_CAPS which is already done just before.

Partially reverts !4677 (merged) and partially fixes #3160 (closed)
