Update and add documentation for plugins with no deps (gst).
Link to properties. Correct titles for examples. Document a few trivial cases. Keep lists in section file and docs/plugins/Makefile.am alphabetically ordered.

/**
* SECTION:element-id3demux
- * @short_description: reads tag information from ID3v1 and ID3v2 (<= 2.4.0) data blocks and outputs them as GStreamer tag messages and events.
+ *
+ * id3demux accepts data streams with either (or both) ID3v2 regions at the
+ * start, or ID3v1 at the end. The mime type of the data between the tag blocks
+ * is detected using typefind functions, and the appropriate output mime type
+ * set on outgoing buffers.
+ *
+ * The element is only able to read ID3v1 tags from a seekable stream, because
+ * they are at the end of the stream. That is, when get_range mode is supported
+ * by the upstream elements. If get_range operation is available, id3demux makes
+ * it available downstream. This means that elements which require get_range
+ * mode, such as wavparse, can operate on files containing ID3 tag information.
+ *
+ * This id3demux element replaced an older element with the same name which
+ * relied on libid3tag from the MAD project.
