This patch introduces the bootstrap code from the AVTP plugin (plugin
definition and init) as well as the build system files. Upcoming patches
will introduce payloaders, source and sink elements provided by the AVTP
plugin. These elements can be utilized by a GStreamer pipeline to
implement TSN audio/video applications.
Regarding the plugin build system files, both autotools and meson files
are introduced. The AVTP plugin is landed in ext/ since it has an
external dependency on libavtp, an opensource AVTP packetization
library. For further information about libavtp check [1].

The wpe element is used to produce a video texture representing a web page
rendered off-screen by WPE. This element can be used to overlay HTML on top of
another video stream for instance.
We now have options for all plugins, so we will just disable these in
the cerbero recipe instead. These require external deps, so they won't
affect gst-build either.
SDP's are generated and consumed according to the W3C PeerConnection API
available from https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/
The SDP is either created initially from the connected
sink pads/attached transceivers as in the case of generating an offer or
intersected with the connected sink pads/attached transceivers as in
the case for creating an answer. In both cases, the rtp payloaded streams
sent by the peer are exposed as separate src pads.
The implementation supports trickle ICE, RTCP muxing, reduced size RTCP.

SRT[0] is an open source transport technology[1] that optimizes
streaming performance across unpredictable networks.
Although SRT is based on UDP, it works like connection-oriented
protocol. However, it doesn't mean that the SRT server or client
is necessarily to link to a receiver or a sender so, here, the
pairs of source and sink elements are introduced.
- srtserversink: SRT server to feed SRT stream
- srtclientsrc: SRT client to get SRT stream from srtserversink
- srtclientsink: SRT client to send SRT stream
- srtserversrc: SRT server to listen from srtclientsink

If they were not ported after 4+ years it seems unlikely that anybody is
ever going to need them again. They're still in the GIT history if
needed.

This was used by MSN messenger in prehistoric times, it's safe
to say no one needs or wants this any more these days. For
decoding old recordings there's still a decoder in ffmpeg.

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.
