Before trying to retrieve a GMainContext from a provided
GstPlayerSignalDispatcher, check that it is actually
GstPlayerGMainContextSignalDispatcher. If not, use the
default GMainContext for dispatching signals via the adapter

Doing it in gst_play_new() means that bindings that directly call
g_object_new() with the GType wouldn't end up initializing both.
This affects at least the Python and GJS bindings.
gst_init() is nonetheless only called from gst_play_new() once because
calling it from class_init would likely lead to problems as that's
called from somewhere in the middle of GObject.

This is how it was documented and how it worked before the port to GstPlay.
Without this, applications expecting signals to be emitted directly
without anything running the main context will simply not receive any
signals.

Ideally new() functions should simply call g_object_new() and not much
else, so let's do that here and handle all the construction properly in
a GObject way.
Now a player object created via g_object_new() is actually usable.
In addition, also fix the video-renderer property so that reading it
returns an object of the correct type.

This was showing up as a memory leak in GTK's

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
