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.
Previously GstCurlSmtpSink could cause the pipeline thread to end up
waiting for a stopped thread to perform work.
The scenario was that the sink could be rendering a buffer and waiting
for the curl transfer thread to have sent the data. As soon as the
transfer thread has copied all data to curl's data buffer in
gst_curl_base_sink_transfer_read_cb() then the render call would stop
waiting and return GST_FLOW_OK. While this takes place the transfer
thread may suffer from an error e.g. due gst_poll_wait() timing out.
This causes the transfer thread to record the error, claim (it is not
really true since there was an error) that the data has been sent and
that a response has been received by trying to signal the pipeline
thread (but this has already stopped waiting). Finally the transfer
thread stops itself. A short while later the pipeline thread may attempt
to push an EOS event into GstCurlSmtpSink. Since there is no check in
gst_curl_smtp_sink_event() to check if the sink has suffered from any
error it may attempt to add a final boundary and ask the, now deceased,
transfer thread to transfer the new data. Next the sink element would
have waited for the transfer to complete (using a different mechanism
than normal transfers through GstCurlBaseSink). In this case there was
an error check to avoid waiting if an error had already been seen.
Finally GstCurlSmtpSink would chain up to GstCurlBaseSink which would
then block waiting for a response (normally this would be prevented by
the transfer thread suffering the error claiming that it had been
received, but GstCurlSmtpSink clobbered this flag after the fact).
Now GstCurlSmtpSink avoids this by locking over the entire event handing
(preventing simultaneous changes to flags by the two threads) and also
by avoiding to initiate transfer of final boundary if an error has
already been seen.
Also add GST_FIXME() for remaining similar issue where the pipeline
thread may block indefinitely waiting for transfer thread to transfer
data but the transfer thread errors out and fails to notify the pipeline
thread that the transfer failed.

In this case the socket callback has not been called
by libcurl and the curlsink has not been notified about any
connection problems by libcurl.
This indicates that it's a bug in libcurl so catch it as
an unknown error.

rename gst-launch --> gst-launch-1.0
replace old elements with new elements(ffmpegcolorspace -> videoconvert, ffenc_** -> avenc_**)
fix caps in examples

Corrected the final boundary mechanism so that a final boundary is
added to each mail with multipart content that is sent,
not just to the last one.

Expose one more libcurl option: CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5.
This allows authenticating the server by the MD5 fingerprint of
the server's public key.

Previously if the proxy server hostname was the empty string
curlhttpsink would never even set the libcurl option. For libcurl
however, having a proxy server hostname be the empty string means that
proxying should be disabled even if environment variables might be set.
Now with the restriction lifted, doing this is allowed.
