Sebastian Dröge 74c04d79c9 gtk4: Use async-channel instead of the glib MainContext channel
The latter will be removed in favour of using async code in the future,
and async code generally allows for more flexible message handling than the
callback based MainContext channel.

Gtk 4 Sink & Paintable

GTK 4 provides gtk::Video & gtk::Picture for rendering media such as videos. As the default gtk::Video widget doesn't offer the possibility to use a custom gst::Pipeline. The plugin provides a gst_video::VideoSink along with a gdk::Paintable that's capable of rendering the sink's frames.

The Sink can generate GL Textures if the system is capable of it, but it needs to be compiled with either wayland, x11glx or x11egl cargo features.

Flatpak Integration

To build and include the plugin in a Flatpak manifest, you can add the following snippet to your json manifest:
