Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

GLib made the unfortunate decision to prevent libgobject from ever being
unloaded, which means that now any library which registers a static type
can't ever be unloaded either (and any library that depends on those,
ad nauseam).

Instead of trying to hardcode site-packages paths for different platforms
just use python.get_install_dir() from meson and let it deal with the rest.
Also no longer try to import pygobject, which would otherwise not be
required at build time.
python.get_install_dir() was at the beginning broken on Windows, but
that was fixed in 0.60 via https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9156
and since ges now requires >0.60 this can be ignored.
This change was motivated by the install path being wrong under MSYS2, where
the unix install layout is used and the detection code not taking that into
account.

The previous code was storing container children in reverse
addition order, this was mitigated by the fact that track elements
were also stored in reverse order, thus restoring the original
order, but it seems more consistent to preserve order throughout,
the extra cost of append operations is negligible.

This transition is meant to be very similar to crossfade, but
instead of fading out the background video at the same time as the
foreground fades in, the background video stays at 100% opacity
during the whole transition.
This essentially "restores" the old crossfade behaviour that was changed in:
eb48faf342
but using a new type enum, so that both behaviours are available,
letting applications choose.

They are part of gst_dep already and we have to make sure to always have
gst_dep. The order in dependencies matters, because it is also the order
in which Meson will set -I args. We want gstreamer's config.h to take
precedence over glib's private config.h when it's a subproject.
While at it, remove useless fallback args for gmodule/gio dependencies,
only gstreamer core needs it.

... in favour of dep.get_variable('foo', ..) which in some
cases allows for further cleanups in future since we can
extract variables from pkg-config dependencies as well as
internal dependencies using this mechanism.

For monorepo build and ugly/bad, for advanced feature
option API like get_option('xyz').required(..) which
we use in combination with the 'gpl' option.
For rest of modules for consistency (people will likely
use newer features based on the top-level requirement).
