This is an efficient string storage for short strings without heap allocations,
and falling back to the heap for bigger allocations. Almost all structure fields
and structure names in use nowadays are short enough to not require a heap
allocation.
As structure names and fields are sometimes dynamically created, storing them in
a GQuark can create a memory leak and potentially a DoS attack by continously
triggering creating of new quarks.
Thanks to Tim for coming up with the name!

- 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.

This allows metas to be serialized to be transmitted or stored. This is
intended to be used for example by gdppay or unixfdsink.
Implemented on GstCustomMeta, GstVideoMeta, GstReferenceTimestampMeta,
and GstAudioMeta.

In the case of a gstreamer-full target type to static,
the GST_STATIC_COMPILATION is necessary on Windows to avoid
a different mangling from the external project using the
gstreamer-full libraries (ie dllimport).

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.

When building for Android, chances are that gstreamer is going to be
loaded from Java using System.loadLibrary(). In that case we can
initialize GStreamer (including static plugins), redirect log functions,
etc.
This code is copied from cerbero because it can be used with
gstreamer-full-1.0 too. Cerbero needs to be adapted to drop that code
and generate gst_init_static_plugins() function.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically
