This allows user to be in control of when scaling happens in the pipeline.
It can be plugged as an effect and scaling will be forced to happen in
the effect instead of in the compositor.
Without this, it would not be possible for users to, for example,
crop a video source before scaling to the target source size.

Allowing better control over the way discovery happens and allowing
us to expose a proper API.
This also adds the potential of implementing more multi-threaded
discovery in a clean way in the future.
This allows us to cleanly expose the new
GstDiscoverer::load-serialize-info signal.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically
