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).

The AVClass name of Animated PNG in FFmpeg 5.x is "(A)PNG"
and it will be converted to "-a-png" through
g_ascii_strdown() and g_strcanon(). But GLib disallow leading '-'
character for a GType name. Strip leading '-' to workaround it.

Some encoders (e.g. Makito) have H265 field-based interlacing, but then
also specify an 1:2 pixel aspect ratio. That makes it kind-of work with
decoders that don't properly support field-based decoding, but makes us
end up with the wrong aspect ratio if we implement everything properly.
As a workaround, detect 1:2 pixel aspect ratio for field-based
interlacing, and check if making that 1:1 would make the new display
aspect ratio common. In that case, we override it with 1:1.

FFMPEG 5+ doesn't allow overriding the codec anymore (causes a segfault if you
attempt to do that). But the best part is ... that with the current caps
implementation in pad template and gst_ffmpeg_caps_to_codecid() we would never
replace it by anything different than the existing codec id.

Latest ffmpeg has removed avcodec_get_context_defaults(), and its
documentation says a new AVCodecContext should be allocated for this
purpose. The pointer returned by avcodec_find_decoder() is now
const-qualified so we also need to adjust for it. And, AVCOL_RANGE_MPEG
is now rejected with strict_std_compliance > FF_COMPLIANCE_UNOFFICIAL.

... 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).
