Sample application that causes the segfault

Calling gst_discoverer_discover_uri(discoverer, uri, NULL) causes a segmentation fault in gstdiscoverer.c. It appears to report "No such file or directory" when run in gdb.

This should probably be brought in line with other functions where the GError argument is allowed to be NULL.

discoverer: Allow GError* argument to be NULL

This is how other methods taking GError* arguments behave.

Fixes #652838
