Instead of always going through the file system API we allow the
application to modify the behaviour. For the playlist itself and
fragments, the application can provide a GOutputStream. In addition the
sink notifies the application whenever a fragment can be deleted.
crypto libraries are not required for hlssink and hlssink2.
Also, hlsdemux with nonencrypted stream can work without crpyto.
Make an error only when users set "hls-crpyto" with non-auto option explicitly,
but no crpyto library was found.
Currently, if one was to set -Dhls-crypto to either libgcrypt or openssl
instead of auto, the following lines would fail because hls_crypto_dep is not
yet set:
if not hls_crypto_dep.found() and ['auto', 'libgcrypt'].contains(hls_crypto)
if not hls_crypto_dep.found() and ['auto', 'openssl'].contains(hls_crypto)
Instead, change "if not hls_crypto_dep.found()" to "if not have_hls_crypto"
which fixes the error.
This embeds the muxer inside the sink and accepts elementary streams
while the old HLS sink required the muxer outside. Apart from that the
interface is the same as before.
Currently only mpegtsmux is supported, but support for other muxers is
just a matter of adding a property.
The advantage of the new sink is that it reduces complexity a lot and
properly handles pre-encoded streams with appropriately spaced
keyframes.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
