People might have GST_TRACERS=leaks set in their environment
by default, which will now trigger criticals during the build
when calling g-ir-scanner, because we unset GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH
so that the scanner doesn't load any plugins.

If we don't specify a path for loading, the runtime linker will search
for the library instead, which will use the usual mechanisms: RPATHs,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH (on Windows), etc.
Also try harder to load a non-devel libpython using INSTSONAME, if
available.

Allow a project to use gstreamer-full as a static library
and link to create a binary without dependencies.
Introduce the option 'gst-full-target-type' to
select the build type, dynamic(default) or static.
In gstreamer-full/static build configuration gstreamer (gst.c)
needs the symbol gst_init_static_plugins which is defined
in gstreamer-full.
All the tests and examples are linking with gstreamer but the
symbol gst_init_static_plugins is only defined in the gstreamer-full
library. gstreamer-full can not be built first as it needs to know what plugins
will be built.
One option would be to build all the examples and tests after
gstreamer-full as the tools.
Disable tools build in subprojects too as it will be built at the end of
build process.

The gst-devtools project generates gstreamer-validate-1.0.pc, this
must match the dependency in gst-editing-services for detection
to work properly.
Fixes:
Run-time dependency gst-validate-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

GLib made the unfortunate decision to prevent libgobject from ever being
unloaded, which means that now any library which registers a static type
can't ever be unloaded either (and any library that depends on those,
ad nauseam).

Instead of trying to hardcode site-packages paths for different platforms
just use python.get_install_dir() from meson and let it deal with the rest.
Also no longer try to import pygobject, which would otherwise not be
required at build time.
python.get_install_dir() was at the beginning broken on Windows, but
that was fixed in 0.60 via https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9156
and since ges now requires >0.60 this can be ignored.
This change was motivated by the install path being wrong under MSYS2, where
the unix install layout is used and the detection code not taking that into
account.
This MR is a continuation of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-editing-services/-/merge_requests/230

They are part of gst_dep already and we have to make sure to always have
gst_dep. The order in dependencies matters, because it is also the order
in which Meson will set -I args. We want gstreamer's config.h to take
precedence over glib's private config.h when it's a subproject.
While at it, remove useless fallback args for gmodule/gio dependencies,
only gstreamer core needs it.
