boolean return value is not sufficient for representing the reason
of error in most cases. For instance, any errors around new_sequence()
would mean negotiation error, not just *ERROR*.
And some subclasses will allocate buffer/memory/surface on new_picture()
but it could be failed because of expected error, likely flushing

libgudev is a problematic dependency, particularly in sandboxed
environments, such as flatpak.
This patch implements a way to get the available VA devices using
brute-forced traverse of /dev/drm/renderD* directory. Thus usable in
those sandboxed environments.

When move the libgstva, libgudev dependency was moved as part of the
library, though it's not use by the library but the plugin. This patch
moves back libgudev dependency to the plugin.
Also HAVE_LIBDRM is move to the library which is the one who use it.

This patch contains two updates:
1. Instead of checking for dependency already checked just to verify a
version, we use the dependency version API.
2. Update the deprecated function get_pkgconfig_variable.

It's possible to have installed MediaSDK environment
package (libmfx-dev in Debian) without libva environment package. This
setup will lead to a breakage of meson configuration.
The fix is to get the libva's driver directory variable after the
dependency is validated as found.
