Latest libnice requires 0.52, so it probably makes sense to
update the meson requirement in gst-build for that, so we
have good out-of-the-box developer experience for people,
with webrtc working out of the box.
Might also make it easier to backport things later.

When we have a manifest, we DEFINITELY want exactly that, please throw
away any local changes, thanks. Fixes CI:

This is probably caused by some shared cache shenanigans, but forcing
is also what we want anyway in this case.

`bdir[1:]` is supposed to convert `/path/to/bdir` to `path/to/bdir`
which is only correct on UNIX. On Windows it will convert
`C:\path\to\bdir` to `:\path\to\bdir` which is totally wrong.
Use pathlib instead, which makes it trivial to do the conversion using
`joinpath(*bdir.parts)`

`/` was added to make it clear that `build` is a directory and not
a meson sub-command. However, this can be confusing for Windows users.
use `builddir` which does the same job.
This is needed to use gst-uninstalled mode over NFS when gst-build is a
worktree. When this is the case, the .git is a file that links to the original
git tree, but this tree is unlikely to be visible over NFS. Instead of forcing
NFS contorsion, simply ignore the error.
This is a workaround for a Meson bug that incorrectly trigger
reconfigure when files change in build directory. This commit can be
reverted once GStreamer depends on Meson >=0.54.0.

When building with -Ddefault_library=static, also build a single library
containing all built plugins. Any external dependencies are still
dynamically linked.
A monolithic library is easier to distribute, and in some envs like
Android is required.
Having vaapi decoders/encoders accidentally available by default often
causes strange test failures or weird behaviour since the plugins are
sometimes buggy or have different behaviour.
The only requirement for the rust plugins is that a rust toolchain be
present on the system. This is problematic:
1. This means gst-build on Windows is broken by default if you have
a Rust toolchain, since glib can't be used uninstalled
2. No output is printed on Windows at all while the rust plugins are
being built. `custom_target()`'s `console:` keyword argument seems
to be broken on some Windows shells.
3. Even on Linux/macOS having this enabled by default is problematic
since it more than doubles the total build time.
4. The biggest issue with having it enabled by default is that it does
not dependency tracking, so we always run `cargo`, which might
update crates. This increases friction when you're working on
unrelated code.
