The generation script can fail to generate a configuration for the four
libraries where the documentation is not generated from gir, as it needs
to run pkg-config.
Only add the path to the configuration file to the sitemap once it has
successfully been dumped.

With this patch, configure time is identical no matter whether doc is
enabled or not.
The configuration files also now contain explicitly-listed sources with
no wildcards.
For the four libraries where hotdoc needs to use clang to generate the
documentation (as opposed to the rest of the libraries where hotdoc uses
the gir), the script will call pkg-config to determine the appropriate
C flags.
This means a side effect of this patch is that pkg-config files are now
generated for the gstadaptivedemux and gstopencv libraries.

This can then be used by the pre-commit hook to avoid rebuilding
complete plugin caches to check a change, thus minimizing the potential
diff and making analysis of completely-unrelated cache diffs much less
likely.

Intead of passing around the output of the config generator program,
which consists of paths joined by a separator we can have the generator
simply produce an extra file containing those paths.
This commit only implements the new approach for the core plugins, as
this was needed to avoid spurious meson rebuilds when the pre-commit
hook regenerates the core plugins_cache.

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.
