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.

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.

The documentation within meson highlights, that `ninja` can be used
without problems for any case except `ninja reconfigure`. The warning
however describes to the user, that `ninja` shouldn't be used at all.
Fix the warning.
Fixes: 01eb252f67 Don't allow people to run meson inside the uninstalled env

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.

Meson now explicitly blacklists pkg-config.bat from Strawberry Perl and
thus building GStreamer on Windows has been fixed.
This allows for instance to build GStreamer on GitHub Action Windows
runners that have Strawberry Perl by default.
It is also useful when needing to build OpenSSL on the same Windows
machine because it requires Perl.

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).

Due to a bug, meson ignores ${lang}_std settings in default_options
for subprojects: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1889
This causes build failures when a subproject requires c++11 or c++14,
etc. Compilers that support those cpp_stds are very common, and all
the toolchains that we support include c++ compilers, so we can
add cpp_std=c++14 to the top-level.
This fixes the webrtc-audio-processing build on Linux, and harfbuzz on
macOS.

Since 547570cd79 we do not always build
PyGObject and our development environment is broken when trying to use
GStreamer python when built against system PyGObject with the following
error importing Gst in there:
```
12345678** (gst-plugin-scanner:710617): CRITICAL **: 11:45:02.343: can't find gi.repository.Gst

Factory Details:
```
The approach to fixing it is to implement override `gi` in
`gst-python/gi/` which we add to `PYTHONPATH`) and in there reset the
`gi` module to the right place and we get overrides from paths from
`_GI_OVERRIDES_PATH` we set in `gst-env.py` which points to all the
overrides that will be installed.
