On macOS, a Cocoa event loop is needed in the main thread to ensure
things like opening a GL window work correctly. In the past, this was
patched into glib via Cerbero, but that prevented us from updating it.
This workaround simply runs an NSApplication and then calls the
main function on a secondary thread, allowing GStreamer to correctly
display windows and/or system permission prompts, for example.

When building for Android, chances are that gstreamer is going to be
loaded from Java using System.loadLibrary(). In that case we can
initialize GStreamer (including static plugins), redirect log functions,
etc.
This code is copied from cerbero because it can be used with
gstreamer-full-1.0 too. Cerbero needs to be adapted to drop that code
and generate gst_init_static_plugins() function.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically
