This is needed for using GstGL with ANGLE as the GLES implementation
in Universal Windows Platform apps that use the Windows Runtime
(WinRT) instead of Win32, which is deprecated and not allowed in
Windows Store apps.
This has been tested with Servo on the Microsoft HoloLens 2, and seems
to work quite well.
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.

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.
