An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc
A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

Saves us a custom script. Template files are nicer than passing
multiline templating stuff through to glib-mkenums. And we can
get rid of our custom python script.
This reverts commit cfc565e2d8.
The commit was redundant since gst_gen_sources already contains
gstenum_h. We're still investigating why some people are still seeing
a racy build failure.
This forces gstenumtypes.h to be built whenever something uses gst_dep
as a subproject dependency. This is needed since gst/gst.h includes
gstenumtypes.h
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/714 which is not
actually a Meson bug.

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.
