Otherwise we will reference the dependant libraries with -lfoo rather than
/path/to/libfoo.la which breaks with the Android-based .la parser which
simply passes through all -l libraries.

The documentation of libav says -Bsymbolic may be needed when building a
shared library which links statically to libav.
Fixes linking error on FreeBSD:
gst-libav/gst-libs/ext/.libs/libavcodec.a(simple_idct10.o):
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `ff_pw_1023' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value

Autotools automatically appends user CPPFLAGS after target
CPPFLAGS. Also, it puts all CPPFLAGS before CFLAGS in final
generated gcc compile command. The internal ffmpeg include
paths need to come before any other external include paths
to ensure we don't accidentally pickup external ffmpeg
headers first (i.e. from user CPPFLAGS include paths). Thus,
move the internal LIBAV include paths to LIBAV_CPPFLAGS so
that they come before any user defined CPPFLAGS.
This allows ffmpeg and gst-ffmpeg to coexist on users system.

This reverts commit 4284d791bc.
It causes crashes on various h264 and DNXHD/VC3 streams, where the
decoders write to arbitrary memory far after what we've allocated.
As a side effect, left/right green bars goes away when using
xvimagesink. I just think that xv cropping is broken, so this is
probably just hiding a bug.
While all this information is in the .la files, libtool seems to get
confused with ordering in presence of static system libraries. This could
cause missing symbol error at link time. Adding these depenencies explicitly
workaround the issue.
Add gas-preprocessor.pl as a git submodule, and put it in the
path so that it is available if libav wants it.
Switch back to providing $CC as $AS by default, but
respect an external $AS setting so that it can be
overridden in cerbero

This should help libtool in getting the internal linking right.
Effectively, libtool can sometime get the link order wrong when
presented with a mix of .la and -l arguments. These .la file are
also required by the android build system and were previously
created by cerbero.
The install line was using -t parameter which is not supported on OSX.
Instead, use automake DATA installation mechanism, this way we rely on
automake to generate portable scripts.
In the last iteration, we kept the original method to link the shared
plugin and edited the .a and .la files so satisfy what cerbero needed.
Unfortunately, that required adding .a file into the archive which is
not allowed with iOS ar command for universal builds.
This patch uses standard method to link a static library. One of the
benefit is that it removes some libtool warning about portability.
For the static case, we implement an install hook that installs
FFMPEG internal .a files in the plugin directory (so it does not get
confused with a possible system FFMPEG. This makes the static plugin
usable without depending on cerbero recipe.
Libtool will produce libgstlibav.la and libgstlibav.lai (the installed
version). We need to edit at least the installed version for the final
linking of static application to work.
