Some devices (e.g., Surface Book 2, Surface Pro X) will expose
both MediaStreamType_VideoPreview and MediaStreamType_VideoRecord types
for a logical device. And for some reason, MediaStreamType_VideoPreview
seems to be selected between them while initiailzing device.
But I cannot find any documentation for the decision rule.
To be safe, we will select common formats between them.

Since the commit c29c71ae9d,
device activation method will be called from an internal thread.
A problem is that, CoreApplication::GetCurrentView()
method will return nullptr if it was called from non-UI thread,
and as a result, currently implemented method for accessing ICoreDispatcher
will not work in any case. There seems to be no robust way for
accessing ICoreDispatcher other then setting it by user.

... if target OS version was specified as Windows 10.
When enabled, desktop application can select target capture
implementation between WinRT and Win32
via GST_USE_MF_WINRT_CAPTURE environment
(e,g., GST_USE_MF_WINRT_CAPTURE=1 for WinRT impl.).
Default is Win32 implementation in case of desktop target.

New video capture implementation using WinRT Media APIs for UWP app.
Due to the strict permission policy of UWP, device enumeration and
open should be done via new WinRT APIs and to get permission from users,
it will invoke permission dialog on UI.
Strictly saying, this implementation is not a part of MediaFoundation
but structurally it's very similar to MediaFoundation API.
So we can avoid some code duplication by adding this implementation
into MediaFoundation plugin.
This implementation requires UniversalApiContract version >= 6.0
which is part of Windows 10 version 1803 (Redstone 4)
