In case of per features registration such as the
customizable gstreamer-full library, each
element should check that the soup library can be loaded to
facilitate the element registration.

On Android (especially) and for static builds in general it is safer to link
against libsoup and have the dynamic custom loading disabled. For those cases we
can safely assume the application will use either libsoup2 or libsoup3 and not
both.

The src and sink elements no longer link against libsoup. It is now loaded at
runtime. If any version is resident already, it is used. Otherwise we first try
to load libsoup3 and if it's not found we fallback to libsoup2.
For the unit-tests, we now build one version of the test unit file per libsoup
version found. So if both libsoup2 and libsoup3 are available on the host, the
CI will cover them both.
