Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

Apparently GtkSharp expects each object has only one ToggleRef at any
time. Assigning element.Handle into Raw has a consequence that second
ToggleRef attempts to get created but fails on g_object_unref () that
breaks a GObject assertion:
toggle_refs_notify: assertion failed: (tstack.n_toggle_refs == 1)
This is because toggle references should be removed with
g_object_remove_toggle_ref(), not a simple unref().
In order to avoid duplicate toggle references, introduce
ElementFactory.MakeRaw(), which creates a GstElement without its
accompanying C# object. The returned raw pointer can be assigned into
another GLib.Object without trouble.

... in favour of dep.get_variable('foo', ..) which in some
cases allows for further cleanups in future since we can
extract variables from pkg-config dependencies as well as
internal dependencies using this mechanism.

For monorepo build and ugly/bad, for advanced feature
option API like get_option('xyz').required(..) which
we use in combination with the 'gpl' option.
For rest of modules for consistency (people will likely
use newer features based on the top-level requirement).
