This introduce a library which contains a set of base classes which
handles the parsing and the state tracking for the purpose of decoding
different CODECs. Currently H264, H265 and VP9 are supported. These
bases classes are used to decode with low level decoding API like DXVA,
NVDEC, VDPAU, VAAPI and V4L2 State Less decoders. The new library is
named gstreamer-codecs-1.0 / libgstcodecs.
SDP's are generated and consumed according to the W3C PeerConnection API
available from https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/
The SDP is either created initially from the connected
sink pads/attached transceivers as in the case of generating an offer or
intersected with the connected sink pads/attached transceivers as in
the case for creating an answer. In both cases, the rtp payloaded streams
sent by the peer are exposed as separate src pads.
The implementation supports trickle ICE, RTCP muxing, reduced size RTCP.

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.
