[OE-core] bitbake gstreamer1.0 : "Nothing PROVIDES 'gobject-introspection'"

[Alexander Kanavin]

'Nothing PROVIDES 'gobject-introspection' means you do not have the
gobject-introspection recipe, which is added as a dependency by the
g-i class. I do not recommend you try to backport it though: just
remove the class inherit from gstreamer recipes.
