This can be made to work in certain circumstances when
cross-compiling, so default to not building g-i stuff
when cross-compiling, but allow it if introspection was
enabled explicitly via -Dintrospection=enabled.
Fixes#454 and #381.
Ensure that the code paths for HAVE_UNWIND and HAVE_DBGHELP are never
taken at the same time, even if the build file code changes.
Prefer DbgHelp over libunwind on Windows in case both are somehow
available because DbgHelp is only available when building with the
MSVC toolchain, and libunwind won't give us debug symbols from objects
built with the MSVC toolchain.
Also, print slightly more useful messages for the level of stack trace
support enabled, and document what each if conditional does.
This means we can use some newer features and get rid of some
boilerplate code using the `G_DECLARE_*` macros.
As discussed on IRC, 2.44 is old enough by now to start depending on it.
This suppresses the annoying 'g-ir-scanner: link: cc ..' output
that we get even if everything works just fine.
We still get g-ir-scanner warnings and compiler warnings if
we pass this option.
We need a nested extern in our init section for the scanner binary
so we can call gst_init to make sure GStreamer types are initialised
(they are not all lazy init via get_type functions, but some are in
exported variables). There doesn't seem to be any other mechanism to
achieve this, so just remove that warning, it's not important at all.
Add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use that for GST_*_API
decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

A regression was causing the helpers to be installed in /share which
would lead to permission denied error or PolicyKit to promtp for
permission. See:
054fa3aa2 meson: Use new define_variable: feature instead of run_command()
Meson supports building both static and shared libraries in a single
library() call. It has the advantage of reusing the same .o objects and
thus avoid double compilation.
