re-tasting of providers held with withering consumers

Because removal of withered geoms is done asynchronously, there is a window when
some provider may require re-tasting (because of media change or size change),
but it would still be in use by the withering geom. That prevents re-tasting a
class of that withering geom (for obvious reasons).
The following patch tries to trigger owed re-tasting after the withering
provider is gone for good:

Probably the retasting should be more targeted similarly to what g_retaste does,
but in asynchronous mode. This is a missing piece.
