examples: update hello world example

Our helloworld example thatw e reference from the manual has been a bit
complicated to serve a first contact with gstreamer. Since we have and
promote playbin2 as a playback api use it here.

Based on work from Mathias Hasselmann <mathias.hasselmann@gmx.de>

Fixes #424143
