If the input is not a DMABuf, attempt to copy into a DRM Dumb
buffer and import it has a DMABuf. This will offload the
compositor from actually doing this copy (needed to handle SHM)
and may allow the software decoded stream to be rendered to
an HW layer, or even reach through some better accelerated
GL import path.

This allow simplifying the GstVideoInfo handling in the sinks. Instead
of having to update a video info for the import, the sink can simply pass the
video info associated with the caps and rely on the VideoMeta in the GstBuffer
to obtain the appropriate offset and stride.

Similar to and inspired by glimagesink and gtkglsink.
Using the Wayland buffer transform API allows to offload
rotate operations to the Wayland compositor. This can have
several advantages:
- The Wayland compositor may be able to use hardware plane
capabilities to do the rotation.
- In case of pre-rotated content on rotated outputs the
rotations may equal out, potentially allowing the
compositor to use hardware planes even if they don't
support rotate operations.

In preparation for the new element `GstGtkWaylandSink`, move reusable
parts out of `GstWaylandSink` into the already exisiting but very
barebone library.
Notable changes include:
- the `GstWaylandVideo` interface was dropped
- support for `wl-shell` was dropped
- lots of renaming in order to match established naming patterns
- lots of code modernisations, reducing boilerplate
- members were made private wherever possible
