Tests and documentation will follow separately.
The mixer elements in the opengl plugin need to stay
in -bad for now since they use GstVideoAggregator.

On the raspberry pi no pkg-config file is provided for the bcm_host
library. We are using AC_CHECK_LIB to detect this lib with autotools,
cc.find_library() library is a closer meson equivalent.

meson's configure_file emits only a comment like /* #undef ... */
for values which are unset in the configuration_data. For
gstglconfig.h, this differs from the autotools build where the
preprocessor definitions are always either 0 or 1. So loop over a
list of variables to set to zero as default.
Also sync up the gstglconfig.h.meson file with the additional
macros defined by the autotools build.

e.g. passing with_gl_api=gles2 would still build the glx code but not be
linking against the libGL library which is where the glX* functions are
located and would result in a linker error.
Solved by checking for the libGL library if either opengl or glx may be
needed and then disabling the corresponding deps as requested.

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.
