A JSON configuration file is generated for core plugins, which maps
plugin names with sources to parse for docstrings.
The file is then opened by the configuration generator script, which
will now favor explicitly listed files to (usually wildcarded) paths
passed on its command line.

People might have GST_TRACERS=leaks set in their environment
by default, which will now trigger criticals during the build
when calling g-ir-scanner, because we unset GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH
so that the scanner doesn't load any plugins.

This commit adds a Find Module implementing the necessary logic to link
against GStreamer, while implementing some extra bits to enhance the
compatibility.
The first addition is the `mobile` target, which implements the
monolithic `gstreamer_android` library, and which here gains
compatibility with Apple's operating systems.
The second addition is the handling of the basic GStreamer libraries as
`--whole-archive` when statically linked, which was ported from the
ndk-build project in Cerbero. This is not easy to do, as CMake suffers
from several issues that impede its proper usage of pkg-config:
- It cannot differentiate between system/compiler specific libraries
e.g. `-lm`, `-ldl`, but especially `-framework Cocoa`.
- It does not support `--whole-archive` natively until 3.27
- It attempts to reorder flags blindly by separating them with spaces,
thus requiring the use of `-Wl,` wrapping or (in the case of Apple
frameworks) manual framework lookup
The third addition is the port of the Fontconfig and ca-certificates
bundling logic.

- Align `glib_debug`, `glib_assert` and `glib_checks` options with GLib,
otherwise glib subproject won't inherit their value. Previous names
and values are preserved using Meson's deprecation mechanism.
- Add `extra-checks` and `benchmarks` options in the main project so it
can be inherited in GStreamer subprojects.

_get_osfhandle() expects valid fd and CRT will abort program
if given paramerter is invalid. The fd can be invalidated
in various way, file was deleted by other process after
we open a file. To avoid it, our own exception
handler must be installed so that _get_osfhandle() can return
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE if fd is invalid.

Allow a project to use gstreamer-full as a static library
and link to create a binary without dependencies.
Introduce the option 'gst-full-target-type' to
select the build type, dynamic(default) or static.
In gstreamer-full/static build configuration gstreamer (gst.c)
needs the symbol gst_init_static_plugins which is defined
in gstreamer-full.
All the tests and examples are linking with gstreamer but the
symbol gst_init_static_plugins is only defined in the gstreamer-full
library. gstreamer-full can not be built first as it needs to know what plugins
will be built.
One option would be to build all the examples and tests after
gstreamer-full as the tools.
Disable tools build in subprojects too as it will be built at the end of
build process.

On macOS, a Cocoa event loop is needed in the main thread to ensure
things like opening a GL window work correctly. In the past, this was
patched into glib via Cerbero, but that prevented us from updating it.
This workaround simply runs an NSApplication and then calls the
main function on a secondary thread, allowing GStreamer to correctly
display windows and/or system permission prompts, for example.

Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

GLib made the unfortunate decision to prevent libgobject from ever being
unloaded, which means that now any library which registers a static type
can't ever be unloaded either (and any library that depends on those,
ad nauseam).
