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.
_stdint.h is generated by Autotools and we don't really need it. All
supported platforms now ship with stdint.h. The only stickler was MSVC,
and since Visual Studio 2015 it also ships stdint.h now.
Avoid compiler warnings "‘foo’ may be used uninitialized in this
function" when building with -O3 by checking the return bool value
of format conversion function.

Fix seeking when demuxer is in INDEX state. This happens when we
reached the end of the stream. It should still be possible to do
a flushing seek and seek back to any other position though. Instead
the demuxer would just go straight to EOS again instead of going
back to processing packets again from the new position.

Fix syntax errors when compiling against cerbero-provided libmpg123
headers. We do the same as the libmpg123 internal visual studio
build here.
mpg123.h(1378): error C2143: syntax error: missing ')' before '('
mpg123.h(1378): error C2081: 'ssize_t': name in formal parameter list illegal
mpg123.h(1378): error C2143: syntax error: missing ')' before '*'
mpg123.h(1378): error C2091: function returns function
mpg123.h(1378): error C2143: syntax error: missing '{' before '*'
mpg123.h(1378): error C2059: syntax error: ')'
mpg123.h(1379): error C2143: syntax error: missing ')' before '*'
mpg123.h(1379): error C2365: 'off_t': redefinition; previous definition was 'typedef'
...
libmpeg2 0.5.1 was released in mid-2008, let's bump the requirement
and get rid of version-dependent code paths. There's still
avdec_mpeg2video for those who are stuck on ancient distros which
we don't target any more.
Also fixes build with MSVC, which doesn't like #if #else #endif
inside macro arguments (like the GST_DEBUG_OBJECT in line 941).
