gst/gstplugin.h: Cast description string constants in GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE macros to...

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstplugin.h:
Cast description string constants in GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE macros
to a (gchar*) to make C++ code using these macros compile
without warning with g++-4.2 (see #462737).  Even if slightly
ugly, this seems preferable to putting the description strings
into the GLib quark table or making the structure member a
const gchar * and doing casts in core code that allocs and
frees these strings, or requiring a cast in the C++ code.
