meson: add gst-full-version-script option

Browse source 
Can be used to control the exact symbols exported, or not, in
libgstreamer-full.

This is useful when building a tailored libgstreamer-full aimed
to be run with some specific binaries. By using such version script
one can reduce the size of the generated lib by letting the linker
garbage collect all the unused APIs.

@ -131,6 +131,12 @@ Since *1.20.0* `gst_init_static_plugins()` is called automatically by
`gst_init()` and applications must not call it manually any more. The header
file has been removed from public API.
One can use the `gst-full-version-script` option to pass a
[version script](https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/LD-Version-Scripts.html)
to the linker. This can be used to control the exact symbols that are exported by
the gstreamer-full library, allowing the linker to garbage collect unused code
and so reduce the total library size.
This is an experimental feature, backward uncompatible changes could still be
made in the future.
