``GstDynamicTypeFactory`` is used to represent a type that can be
automatically loaded the first time it is used. For example,
a non-standard type for use in caps fields.

In general, applications and plugins don't need to use the factory
beyond registering the type in a plugin init function. Once that is
done, the type is stored in the registry, and ready as soon as the
registry is loaded.

    static gboolean
    plugin_init (GstPlugin * plugin)
    {
      return gst_dynamic_type_register (plugin, GST_TYPE_CUSTOM_CAPS_FIELD);
