This element uses the Desktop Duplication API to capture the desktop screen at high speed.
It supports Windows 8 or later.
It has the following features compared to other elements:
* Runs faster.
* It works in High DPI environment.
* Draws an accurate mouse cursor.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/863>
Drawing is done via the GDI drawing functions. The cursor is
converted to a monochrome version before drawing. This is because
the GDI drawing functions seem to have undefined behavior with
cursor images including an alpha channel.
I could not find any other reliable way to draw these alpha
channel cursors without producing unwanted artifacts. These type
of cursors were introduced with Window Vista when run with it's
Aero theme.
Also adjust the cursor coordinates when capturing non-primary
screens via the "monitor" option.

Currently dx9screencapsrc prints a verbose warning in case the screen
index is out of range for the current number of detected monitors. This
value is then dropped.
However there is no initial indication (beside the console print) if it
worked or not. This may result in capturing an unwanted screen as it
would capture the last set index that was not rejected.
This patch sets the index regardless. Instead, the element throws an
error when it tries to run or getting caps for an invalid index.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
rename gst-launch --> gst-launch-1.0
replace old elements with new elements(ffmpegcolorspace -> videoconvert, ffenc_** -> avenc_**)
fix caps in examples

Also implement framerate handling correctly by borrowing the code from
ximagesrc. GstBaseSrc::get_times() can't be used for that, we have to
implement proper waiting ourselves.
