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.
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.
While we're at it, 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.

When doing CPU Access, some architecture may require caches to be
synchronize before use. Otherwise, some visual artifact may be
visible, as the CPU modification may still resides in cache.

gudev/gudev.h is included unconditionally, so only enable
the gbm backend if gudev was actually found. This also
matches the meson build behaviour.
Should fix build on GNOME SDK builder.
We can pass string constants here to g_strdup_printf(),
so do so and re-enable the -Wformat-nonliteral warning
we had to disable when merging the opengl libs.
The AM_CONDITIONAL always need to be evaluated, regardless of
whether we are building with or without gl plugins (the actual
checks are only called in AG_GST_GL_PLUGIN_CHECKS).
Tests and documentation will follow separately.
The mixer elements in the opengl plugin need to stay
in -bad for now since they use GstVideoAggregator.

This makes sure that we only build files that need explicit SIMD support
with the relevant CFLAGS. This allows the rest of the code to be built
without, and specific SSE* code is only called after runtime checks for
CPU features.
