46ed0f0489 libs: fix 'inconsistent DLL linkage' warnings on Windows
For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.

This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.

The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.

What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.

c389c59b22 meson: Maintain macOS ABI through dylib versioning
Requires Meson 0.48, but the feature will be ignored on older versions
so it's safe to add it without bumping the requirement.

fb4fc8fc09 bitwriter: Add a generic bit writer
GstBitWriter provides a bit writer that can write any number of
bits into a memory buffer. It provides functions for writing any
number of bits into 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit variables.

b00b1d5361 Meson: Use library() to build both static and shared libs
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.

7e2ace8618 base: GST_EXPORT -> GST_BASE_API
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.

b2f9808722 Add support for Meson as alternative/parallel build system
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson

With contributions from:

Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
Mathieu Duponchelle <mathieu.duponchelle@opencreed.com>
Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded

... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
