A correctly configured AVAudioSession is needed on iOS to:
- allow the application to capture microphone audio (in some cases)
- avoid playback being silenced in silent mode
Without this, initializing AudioUnit for capture can fail on iOS >=17 (from my testing).
Since AVAudioSession has a lot of settings, in most cases its setup should be handled by the user/app.
However, just to have a basic default scenario covered, let's configure the bare minimum ourselves,
and allow anyone to disable that behaviour by setting configure-session=false on src/sink.

- Align `glib_debug`, `glib_assert` and `glib_checks` options with GLib,
otherwise glib subproject won't inherit their value. Previous names
and values are preserved using Meson's deprecation mechanism.
- Add `extra-checks` and `benchmarks` options in the main project so it
can be inherited in GStreamer subprojects.

Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

GLib made the unfortunate decision to prevent libgobject from ever being
unloaded, which means that now any library which registers a static type
can't ever be unloaded either (and any library that depends on those,
ad nauseam).

zlib is required, and if it isn't found it is checked several ways and
then forced via subproject(). This code was added in commit
b93e37592a, to account for systems where
zlib doesn't have pkg-config files installed.
But Meson already does dependency fallback, and also, since 0.54.0, does
the in-between checks for find_library('z') and has_header('zlib.h') via
the "system" type dependency. Simplify dependency lookup by marking it
as required, which also makes sure that the console log doesn't
confusingly list "not found".

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.

For monorepo build and ugly/bad, for advanced feature
option API like get_option('xyz').required(..) which
we use in combination with the 'gpl' option.
For rest of modules for consistency (people will likely
use newer features based on the top-level requirement).
