For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.
While we're at it, add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use
that for GST_*_API decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

There are a lot of symbols in GstGL-1.0.gir generated by automake that
are not when it is generated by meson, because a lot of headers were
not included in meson's gir generation.

This allows consumers of the gstgl dependency where gstgl is optional
to do things like:
config_data.set('HAVE_GST_GL', gstgl_dep.found())
deps = [gstvideo_dep, gstgl_dep]
meaning they can still use the dep unconditionally. With the
disabler we would just disable the whole target even if the
gstgl part was an optional extra. We can add an option to
dependency() later to let users/consumers of the dep decide
if they want a not-found dependency or a disabler instead.
It's also needed by the generic/states test and the variable
is currently checked as part of the opengl lib tests so wouldn't
be available if opengl was disabled.
We would make the subproject conditional on the wrap-mode=nodownload
however get_option('wrap-mode') or similar is not available from
meson.build files as the wrap-mode is meant to be used automatically.
Instead use the dependency fallback mechanism to get at the subproject
where possible i.e. when downloading is allows and only add the compat
includes when we have a valid internal dependency from the gl-headers
subproject.

This reverts commit 82c43ff9a3.
Reverting for the time being, since it trips up build bots
that don't have network connectivity.
We ideally shouldn't have a subproject that's used unconditionally.
Also yield common options to the outer project (gst-build in our case)
so that they don't have to be set manually and use array types for some
options.
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
Tests and documentation will follow separately.
The mixer elements in the opengl plugin need to stay
in -bad for now since they use GstVideoAggregator.

On the raspberry pi no pkg-config file is provided for the bcm_host
library. We are using AC_CHECK_LIB to detect this lib with autotools,
cc.find_library() library is a closer meson equivalent.

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.
