9cc363311d meson: Add an option to disable gst-full
Not all static-library build configurations need to use this, and the
CPU time and RAM needed by gst-full targets is quite significant.

7a163dae4d meson: Improve certifi documentation on macOS
First, just installing certifi doesn't install the ca-cert in the
right location. The `Install Certificates.command` script also
symlinks the openssl cert.pem to the certifi ca cert file

Second, we can make it more likely that users will notice this if we
make it a warning. If we ever get a bug report about this despite
these measures, we can try to make this an error.

0b6bbce012 Remove the uninstalled term
Remove the symbolic link `gst-uninstalled` which points to `gst-env`.
The `uninstalled` is the old name and the project should stick to a
single name for the procedure.
Remove the term from all the files, exceptions are variables from
dependencies like `uninstalled_variables` from pkgconfig and
`meson-uninstalled`.
Adjust mentions of the script in the documentation and README.

b6f61768d3 gst-full: add 'gst-full-' features options
These options allow to select a set of features from a given
plugin with the following syntax:

-Dgst-full-plugins=plugin1;plugin10
-Dgst-full-elements=plugin2:element1,element2
-Dgst-full-typefind-functions=plugins3:func
-Dgst-full-device-providers=plugin4,dp1
-Dgst-full-dynamic-types=plugin5:dt1

By default all the enabled plugin are registered and
gst-full-plugins will allow to include only a set of plugin

If a feature(element, typefind etc.) is selected from a plugin,
the plugin is removed from the plugins list.

89faf739c9 meson: add gst-full-version-script option
Can be used to control the exact symbols exported, or not, in
libgstreamer-full.

This is useful when building a tailored libgstreamer-full aimed
to be run with some specific binaries. By using such version script
one can reduce the size of the generated lib by letting the linker
garbage collect all the unused APIs.

a meson sub-command. However, this can be confusing for Windows users.

c57dca5220 dev environment: allow printing only env without starting a shell
allow for workflows that don't want the gst scripts to start shells,
this can be awkward for higher-level scripts setting up shells
themselves.

this is especially useful in combination with eval, and mimics the sort
of thing you can do with ssh-agent -s.

fe39bd3027 Rename 'uninstalled' to development environment
In the case of wine, the env can not be uninstalled, also developers
do not necessiraly care about the fact that it is "uninstalled", the
important thing is that it is a development environment, meaning
that they can work on GStreamer or with GStreamer in the environment.

I still keep the `uninstalled` target to avoid changing people's
habits for now.
