This protocol does what it says on the box, avoiding the need for a 1x1
wl_shm buffer.
A wayland-projects wrap has been added for users who do not have v1.26
available.

Setting the surface source rectangle has been omitted so far. As a side effect
surface created with padded width/height are being scaled down. Fix this using
the viewporter source rectangle configuration. This can later be enhanced
to support crop meta.

Similar to and inspired by glimagesink and gtkglsink.
Using the Wayland buffer transform API allows to offload
rotate operations to the Wayland compositor. This can have
several advantages:
- The Wayland compositor may be able to use hardware plane
capabilities to do the rotation.
- In case of pre-rotated content on rotated outputs the
rotations may equal out, potentially allowing the
compositor to use hardware planes even if they don't
support rotate operations.

In preparation for the new element `GstGtkWaylandSink`, move reusable
parts out of `GstWaylandSink` into the already exisiting but very
barebone library.
Notable changes include:
- the `GstWaylandVideo` interface was dropped
- support for `wl-shell` was dropped
- lots of renaming in order to match established naming patterns
- lots of code modernisations, reducing boilerplate
- members were made private wherever possible
