This provides new HLS, DASH and MSS adaptive demuxer elements as a single plugin.
These elements offer many improvements over the legacy elements. They will only
work within a streams-aware context (`urisourcebin`, `uridecodebin3`,
`decodebin3`, `playbin3`, ...).
Stream selection and buffering is handled internally, this allows them to
directly manage the elementary streams and stream selection.

They are part of gst_dep already and we have to make sure to always have
gst_dep. The order in dependencies matters, because it is also the order
in which Meson will set -I args. We want gstreamer's config.h to take
precedence over glib's private config.h when it's a subproject.
While at it, remove useless fallback args for gmodule/gio dependencies,
only gstreamer core needs it.

... in favour of dep.get_variable('foo', ..) which in some
cases allows for further cleanups in future since we can
extract variables from pkg-config dependencies as well as
internal dependencies using this mechanism.

The src and sink elements no longer link against libsoup. It is now loaded at
runtime. If any version is resident already, it is used. Otherwise we first try
to load libsoup3 and if it's not found we fallback to libsoup2.
For the unit-tests, we now build one version of the test unit file per libsoup
version found. So if both libsoup2 and libsoup3 are available on the host, the
CI will cover them both.
Based on initial patch by Daniel Kolesa <dkolesa@igalia.com> and
Patrick Griffis <pgriffis@igalia.com>.
