Ideally new() functions should simply call g_object_new() and not much
else, so let's do that here and handle all the construction properly in
a GObject way.
Now a player object created via g_object_new() is actually usable.
In addition, also fix the video-renderer property so that reading it
returns an object of the correct type.

This was showing up as a memory leak in GTK's
gstreamer media backend:

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically
