Description

Pros of using generated caps:
-A sender need not establish a tcp connection with a receiver.
Cons:
-No guarantee that a receiver's generated caps will match what a sender will send.
-Have to maintain make_caps.py script and anticipate every possible combination on the sender side. Additionally, this slows down compilation and is all around evil.
-Caps are MEANT to be communicated out of band for rtp (i.e. sip, sdp, etc.).

Solution:
get rid of make_caps.py and CapsParser, in addition get rid of --disable-caps-negotiation option.
