Merge pull request #20801 from JonasVautherin:fix-gst-error-handling

* Fix gst error handling

* Use the return value instead of the error, which gives no guarantee of being NULL in case of error
* Test err pointer before accessing it
* Remove unreachable code

* videoio(gstreamer): restore check in writer code
