d90d771a9a meson: fix warning about configure_file() install kwarg
The install kwarg on configure_file() was only added in
Meson 0.50 but we're targetting older versions as well,
which caused a warning. The install kwarg is not needed
here as we specify install_dir, so we can just drop it.

Fixes #379

50c32da91f meson: use library() for libgstcheck instead of always building a shared lib
Otherwise we try to build a shared lib when we build the rest
of GStreamer statically, which won't work because we pass
-DGST_STATIC_COMPILATION when building statically, which means
we won't dllimport public symbols from our libs which means
that on Windows the unit tests will fail to link to libgstcheck.

46ed0f0489 libs: fix 'inconsistent DLL linkage' warnings on Windows
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.

c389c59b22 meson: Maintain macOS ABI through dylib versioning
Requires Meson 0.48, but the feature will be ignored on older versions
so it's safe to add it without bumping the requirement.

357e7c7b02 check: GST_EXPORT -> GST_CHECK_API
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.

d8e8e92176 libcheck: Update the compatibility code and checks
This brings us up-to-speed with the latest compatibility code from upstream
check git. For completeness, we do all the checks that upstream check does, but
we skip the snprintf/vsnprintf code because it's not straightforward (involves
running code and that is bad for cross-compilation) and not necessary for the
platforms we support anyway.

If someone really wants this, they can uncomment this and copy the relevant
checks from the check git repository.

Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

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.
