[oe] [meta-qt5] GStreamer-1.0 path breaking 0.1 support‏

It's incorrectly marked as Accepted in patchwork, but it was never merged
into the repository, because the author never sent v2 with review comments
from me resolved.

There was another patch:
http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/85075/
which was merged and nobody was reporting broken 0.10 support since then.
I'm not using 0.10 version, so I was assuming it works now for people who
do.

Regards,
