When calling gobject-introspection scanner, make sure our own
freshly-built libs within the source tree (well, build dir) come
first in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. May or may not help to make sure
that it doesn't pick up older external plugins-base libs (or
.gir files) from outside the source tree / build directory as
dependencies of the introspected lib instead of using the
stuff we just built in a sibling directory.

So people can check what version of the gst-plugins-base libs they're
building against or linked against.
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MAJOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MINOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MICRO
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_NANO
API: GST_CHECK_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION
API: gst_plugins_base_version()
API: gst_plugins_base_version_string()
Point g-ir-scanner to the .la file of our library, which hopefully
makes it find the right dependencies in all cases (ie. our locally
built libgstreamer and not the system-installed one). This is also
how it's done in Gtk+ and how it's documented in the wiki, see
http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/AutotoolsIntegrationFixes#603710.
Use new girdir and typlibdir from core .pc files, so we can figure
out the right includes to pass to the gobject-introspection tools,
whether core is installed in the same prefix as gobject-introspection
or in a different prefix or uninstalled. This also keeps us from adding
bogus paths to the includes that only work if core is uninstalled.
Also add some missing includes/pkgs where needed.
I also renamed glib_enum_prefix to glib_gen_prefix as we also use that for the
marshallers. Also rename the rtsp-marshal.list to work with the unified prefix.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/Makefile.am:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/pbutils.h:
Use glib-enum generator to have a proper enum GType for
GST_TYPE_INSTALL_PLUGINS_RETURN so we can easily wrap it in bindings.

* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.h:
API: add API for applications to initiate installation of missing
plugins, ie. gst_install_plugins_async() primarily.
Based on libgimme-codec by Ryan Lortie.
* configure.ac:
Add --with-install-plugins-helper configure option so distros can specify
the path of the helper script or program to call when plugin installation
is requested (distros: please do any argument munging in this helper
script instead of patching GStreamer to pass arguments differently
to another program directly).
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-docs.sgml:
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-sections.txt:
Build and document new API.
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (result_cb),
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout), (GST_START_TEST),
(libgstbaseutils_suite):
Some simple checks for the new API.
