urisourcebin: Make parsebin activation more reliable

Edward Hervey requested to merge bilboed/gstreamer:urisourcebin-state into main

parsebin is potentially added by a typefind callback.

That typefind was activated by a READY_TO_PAUSED state change on urisourcebin

We want to ensure that it is the "setup_parsebin_for_slot" method that activates the underlying parsebin, and not the external state-change.

Otherwise we would risk a potential deadlock where elements activating in parsebin, and which would cause the upstream typefind to switch scheduling mode, would not be able to acquire the STREAM_LOCK of the typefind task.

Fixes #4225 (closed)
