Draft: element: Deactivate pads when removing them from elements

Sebastian Dröge requested to merge slomo/gstreamer:deactivate-pad-on-remove into main

This is symmetrict with gst_element_add_pad(), which is nowadays also activating pads when they're added to elements in the PAUSED/PLAYING state.

Nonetheless it's safer and recommended to deactivate pads separately to ensure that it happens at the right time in case the element needs the streaming thread to be shut down already before the pad is being removed.
