This commit adds support for raw payloads such as L24 audio to `webrtcsink` &
`webrtcsrc`.
Most changes take place within the `Codec` helper structure:
* A `Codec` can now advertise a depayloader. This also ensures that a format
not only can be decoded when necessary, but it can also be depayloaded in the
first place.
* It is possible to declare raw `Codec`s, meaning that their caps are compatible
with a payloader and a depayloader without the need for an encoder and decoder.
* Previous accessor `has_decoder` was renamed as `can_be_received` to account
for codecs which can be handled by an available depayloader with or without
the need for a decoder.
* New codecs were added for the following formats:
* L24, L16, L8 audio.
* RAW video.
The `webrtc-precise-sync` examples were updated to demonstrate streaming of raw
audio or video.

We can use `is_some_and(...)` instead of `map_or(false, ...)`.
Also in a few places the factory was retrieved multiple times, one time
with unwrapping and another time with handling the `None` case
correctly. Instead of unwrapping, move code to handle the `None` case.

- generate a new session id for every new client
use the session id in the resource url
- remove the producer-peer-id property in the WhipServer signaler as it
is redundant to have producer id in a session having only one producer
- read the 'producer-peer-id' property on the signaller conditionally
if it exists else use the session id as producer id

- Add a new structure Session
- manage each producer using a session
- avoid send EOS when a session terminates, instead keep running
waiting for any new producer to connect
- Maintain a bin element per session
- each session bin encapsulates webrtcbin and the decoder if needed
as well as the parser and filter if requested by the application
(through request-encoded-filter)
- this will be helpful to cleanup the session's respective elements
when the corresponding producer terminates the session

This commit adds an Android `webrtcsrc` based example with the following
features:
* A first view allows retrieving the producer list from the signaller (peer ids
are uuids which are too long to tap, especially using an onscreen keyboard).
* Selecting a producer opens a second view. The first available video stream is
rendered on a native Surface. All the audio streams are rendered using
`autoaudiosink`.
Available Settings:
* Signaller URI.
* A toggle to prefer hardware decoding for OPUS, otherwise the app defaults to
raising `opusdec`'s rank. Hardware decoding was moved aside since it was found
to crash the app on all tested devices (2 smartphones, 1 tv).
**Warning**: in order to ease testing, this demonstration application enables
unencrypted network communication. See `AndroidManifest.xml`.
The application uses the technologies currenlty proposed by Android Studio when
creating a new project:
* Kotlin as the default language, which is fully interoperable with Java and
uses the same SDK.
* gradle 8.6.
* kotlin dialect for gradle. The structure is mostly the same as the previously
preferred dialect, for which examples can be found online readily.
* However, JNI code generation still uses Makefiles (instead of CMake) due to
the need to call [`gstreamer-1.0.mk`] for `gstreamer_android` generation.
Note: on-going work on that front:
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/-/merge_requests/1466
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6794
Current limitations:
* x86 support is currently discarded as `gstreamer_android` libs generation
fails (observed with `gstreamer-1.0-android-universal-1.24.3`).
* A selector could be added to let the user chose the video streams and
possibly decide whether to render all audio streams or just select one.
Nice to have:
* Support for the synchronization features of the `webrtc-precise-sync-recv`
example (NTP clock, RFC 7273).
* It could be nice to use Rust for the specific native code.

If a user constrained the supported CAPS, for instance using `video-caps`:
```shell
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! x264enc \
! webrtcsink video-caps=video/x-vp8
```
... a panic would occur which was internally caught without the user being
informed except for the following message which was written to stderr:
> thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at net/webrtc/src/webrtcsink/imp.rs:3533:22:
> expected audio or video raw caps: video/x-h264, [...] <br>
> note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
The pipeline kept running.
This commit converts the panic into an `Error` which bubbles up as an element
`StreamError::CodecNotFound` which can be handled by the application.
With the above `gst-launch`, this terminates the pipeline with:
> [...] ERROR webrtcsink net/webrtc/src/webrtcsink/imp.rs:3771:gstrswebrtc::

Clippy caught the missing feature `signal` which is used by the WebRTC precise
synchronization examples. When running `cargo` `check`, `build` or `clippy`
without `no-default-dependencies`, this feature was already present due to
dependents crates.

When swapping between several development branches, compilation times can be
frustrating. This commit proposes adding features to control which signaller
to include when building the webrtc plugin. By default, all signallers are
included, just like before.
Compiling the `webrtc-precise-sync` examples with `--no-default-features`
reduces compilation to 267 crates instead of 429 when all signallers are
compiled in.

This commit implements [RFC 7273] (NTP & PTP clock signalling & synchronization)
for `webrtcsink` by adding the "ts-refclk" & "mediaclk" SDP media attributes to
identify the clock. These attributes are handled by `rtpjitterbuffer` on the
consumer side. They MUST be part of the SDP offer.
When used with an NTP or PTP clock, "mediaclk" indicates the RTP offset at the
clock's origin. Because the payloaders are not instantiated when the offer is
sent to the consumer, the RTP offset is set to 0 and the payloader
`timstamp-offset`s are set accordingly when they are created.
The `webrtc-precise-sync` examples were updated to be able to start with an NTP
(default), a PTP or the system clock (on the receiver only). The rtp jitter
buffer will synchronize with the clock signalled in the SDP offer provided the
sender is started with `--do-clock-signalling` & the receiver with
`--expect-clock-signalling`.

When an encoder was not supported by the `VideoEncoder` `bitrate` accessors, an
`unimplemented` panic would occur which would poison `state` & `settings`
`Mutex`s resulting in other threads panicking, notably entering `end_session()`,
which lead to many failures in `BinImplExt::parent_remove_element()` until a
segmentation fault ended the process. This was observed using `vaapivp9enc`.
This commit logs a warning if an encoder isn't supported by the `bitrate`
accessors and silently by-passes `bitrate`-related operations when unsupported.

Quoting [`BehaviorVersion` documentation]:
> Over time, new best-practice behaviors are introduced. However, these
> behaviors might not be backwards compatible. For example, a change which
> introduces new default timeouts or a new retry-mode for all operations might
> be the ideal behavior but could break existing applications.
This commit uses `BehaviorVersion::v2023_11_09()`, which is the latest
major version at the moment. When a new major version is released, the method
will be deprecated, which will warn us of the new version and let us decide
when to upgrade, after any changes if required. This is safer that using
`latest()` which would silently use a different major version, possibly
breaking existing code.

The following error is logged when `webrtcsink` is feeded with an audio stream:
> ERROR video-info video-info.c:540:gst_video_info_from_caps:
