Syncrhonizing buffer commits to the streaming thread can lead to
dropped frames when frame callbacks are not processed before the
next frame is ready for rendering. Depending on the drift between
the wayland compositor and buffer source timings, this can lead to
periods of significant frame drop, especially when the media frame
rate is close to the display frame rate.
Cache buffers in the streaming thread and peform commits on the
display thread to eliminate the buffer commit racing.
The implementation is the same for both waylandsink and gtkwaylandsink,
so move it to the common wayland library under gst-lib.

Similar to and inspired by glimagesink and gtkglsink.
Using the Wayland buffer transform API allows to offload
rotate operations to the Wayland compositor. This can have
several advantages:
- The Wayland compositor may be able to use hardware plane
capabilities to do the rotation.
- In case of pre-rotated content on rotated outputs the
rotations may equal out, potentially allowing the
compositor to use hardware planes even if they don't
support rotate operations.

In preparation for the new element `GstGtkWaylandSink`, move reusable
parts out of `GstWaylandSink` into the already exisiting but very
barebone library.
Notable changes include:
- the `GstWaylandVideo` interface was dropped
- support for `wl-shell` was dropped
- lots of renaming in order to match established naming patterns
- lots of code modernisations, reducing boilerplate
- members were made private wherever possible
