This means we can use some newer features and get rid of some
boilerplate code using the G_DECLARE_* macros.
As discussed on IRC, 2.44 is old enough by now to start depending on it.
On Linux, the kernel returns twice the size as it will allocate extra
space for accouting. We devides this value by two in order to ensure
that get/set value now match. This fixes the set buffer size validation
and allow having a nice warning when the size if surpassed and the
process does not have CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities.

The udp buffer size is limited to a maximum of around 100K.
Some apps need to set the force bufsize for their own operation.
Use the SO_RCVBUFFORCE option in order to override the rmem_max limit
of linux kernel. Require user to have the CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege to
work.

This exposes a new property, mtu, which is used to determine the
initial size of buffers from the buffer pool. If received data
exceeds this, the element gracefully handles that in a manner similar
to what we had previously: a large memory gets filled and reallocated
at the next call to "fill".
The default size is set to 1500, which should cover most use cases.

Optimize GstUdpSrc for cache performance.
Move the hot properties, which are used by the read function, to the top:
@used_socket, @addr, @cancellable, @skip_first_bytes, @timeout,
@retrieve_sender_address.
Remove the unused property @ttl.
Where needed reorder so that holes are avoided (the 64-bit @timeout)

This goes around the inefficient control message based filtering and
does all the filtering kernel-side. Unfortunately this is Linux-only and
there is no IPv6 variant of it (yet).
The g_object_unref (saddr) before receiving message seems to be redundant as it
is done just before jumping to retry
Though not directly related, part of

Control messages are used only in multicast mode - to detect if the destination
address is not ours and possibly drop the packet. However in non-multicast
modes the messages are still allocated and freed even if not used. Therefore
request control messages from g_socket_receive_message() only in multicast
mode.

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.
This allows disabling of sender address retrieval, which might
be useful in certain scenarios, like when the socket is connected,
or the sender address is not of interest (e.g. when receiving an
MPEG-TS stream). Disabling sender address retrieval in those
cases can have minor performance advantages.

On Windows the socket will be bound to ANY instead of the multicast group,
as binding to a multicast group does not work. Which would mean that we
override src->addr to become ANY and won't automatically join a multicast
group anymore on Windows.
On Linux we would automatically join a multicast group, keep it consistent.

On POSIX, IP_MULTICAST_LOOP is a setting for the sender socket. On Windows it
is a setting for the receiver socket. As such we will need it on udpsrc too to
allow filtering out our own multicast packets.
