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.
Remove the user_data from the alloc vmethod. Subclasses that implement a new
alloc function can also implement their own vmethod to pass extra arguments. We
can then also require that custom allocators implement an alloc function so that
gst_allocator_alloc() always works.
Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Expose the GstAllocation structure and provide an _init function. This makes it
easier to make 'subclasses' of the allocator that contain more info.
It also allows us to expose the flags on the allocator miniobject.
Make a flag to note that the allocator uses a custom alloc function.
Add a method that memory implementations can call to initialize the standard
GstMemory structure.
Move the parent handling in the _free handler.
Rearrange some internal function parameters so that the order is consistent.
Add more memory examples
