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.

This uses the new path for OpenCV headers. OpenCV now have
master headers files per modules, which reduce the amount of
required includes. Note that HIGHGUI was included to get the
imgcodecs includes, which I fixed, though the master header is
missing the C headers, so I included that directly. All the
image stuff should be ported to C++ eventually. Finally, this
patch also update the header checks to reflect the modules that
are really being used.
add_global_arguments() can't be used in subprojects. It's
entirely possible that -bad is a subproject but gstreamer
is picked up from an installed location, so we should
really use add_project_arguments() in both cases.
WARNING: Trying to compare values of different types (str, int).
The result of this is undefined and will become a hard error
in a future Meson release.
This patch bumps the required meson to 0.40.1 as gstreamer core just
did, and cleanup some code to use a feature from 0.37 that allow
specifying version range when checking dependency.

We were only ignoring the listed msvc warnings for C language
files and not C++. This was working by the coincidence that we did
not have any instances of these warnings in C++ files. Lately the
build of decklink has been fixed on windows, and it has an
instance of one of these warnings in a C++ file.

If they were not ported after 4+ years it seems unlikely that anybody is
ever going to need them again. They're still in the GIT history if
needed.

a) Use get_pkgconfig_variable() to get the opencv prefix
b) Place an upper limit on the opencv version
c) Ensure that headers are available
(b) and (c) just copy what the configure.ac checks do.
The error is:
unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned
This is a commonly-done operation in gstreamer and it's done on purpose.
It's just noise.
The headers passed as parametter are relative to the build dir
basically "../subproject/gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/mpegts/XXX.h"
but that does not match what is needed at build time when building as
subproject, also we always add current dir as include_dir so we are
safe including directly.
And link mpegtsdemux against the 'math' library as it is needed.

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.
