Missing codecs processing with gst 1.4

Gst 1.4 deprecated DiscovererInfo.get_misc in favour of
DiscovererInfo.get_missing_elements_installer_details. Something in
Python bindings seems to be broken and get_misc seems to be not
deprecated but broken.

The change makes sniffer use the method if get_misc fails.
