This thread dispatches navigation events. It is needed to avoid deadlocks
between window backend threads that emit navigation events (e.g. X11/GMainLoop
thread) and consumers of navigation events such as glimagesink, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733661
GstGlWindow_x11 thread is changed to invoke the navigation thread for navigation
dispatching, instead of emiting the event itself. Othe backends beside X11 do
not dispatch navigation events yet, but should use this thread when dispatching
these events in the future.
The navigation thread is currently part of GstGLWindow and not implemented in
separate subclasses / backends. This will be needed in the future.
gst_gl_window_x11_get_surface_dimensions is also changed to use a cached value
of the window's width, height. These values are now retrieved in the X11
thread, function gst_gl_window_x11_handle_event. This change is needed because
otherwise the XGetWindowAttributes gets called from the navigation thread,
leading to xlib aborting due to multithreaded access (if XInitThreads is not
called before, as is the case for gst-launch)
If window is resized, GstStructure pointer values have to be rescaled to
original geometry. A get_surface_dimensions GLWindow class method is added for
this purpose and used in the navigation send_event function.

This commit makes the loading of the GModules threadsafe, and
always first tries to load the symbol for the GL library that
is selected for the current context. Only then it falls back
to looking into the current module (NULL), and only as a last
resort the context specific function (e.g. eglGetProcAddress())
is called.
Also add configure parameters to select the names of the library
modules instead of using the defaults, and let the defaults be
independent of the G_MODULE_SUFFIX.

This should fix QoS problems, where basesink believed it was rendering with
20FPS but actually we were just queueing up X11 Expose events and only once
in a while something was rendered.
Intel drivers require the display handles be the same for context
sharing to occur. Also solves some cases of use after free of the
display when integrating with gstreamer-vaapi.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41736 for the intel bug.
GstGLDisplayX11 holds the display connection and name. Each thread requires
it's own X11 Display connection (initialised from name) due to the fact that
we do not want to call XInitThreads(). Doing so would result in segfaults
when integrating with GUI toolkits Gtk, Qt, etc.
The Display connection is for OpenGL platforms where a constant display is
required in order to share contexts (egl). In the case of a wrapped context
(added later), we do not have GstGLWindow to retreive the display from so a
'master' connection is used instead.
