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.
This suppresses the annoying 'g-ir-scanner: link: cc ..' output
that we get even if everything works just fine.
We still get g-ir-scanner warnings and compiler warnings if
we pass this option.
Allow fallback to orc subproject if any.
Additionally 'dependencies' keyword is removed from find_library,
because it's invalid keyword for find_library.
For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.
While we're at it, add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use
that for GST_*_API decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

It's also needed by the generic/states test and the variable
is currently checked as part of the opengl lib tests so wouldn't
be available if opengl was disabled.
Also yield common options to the outer project (gst-build in our case)
so that they don't have to be set manually and use array types for some
options.
The newly-added build definitions for test/icles relied
on dependencies that were only defined when the examples
are enabled, thus breaking meson build -Ddisable_examples=true
When doing CPU Access, some architecture may require caches to be
synchronize before use. Otherwise, some visual artifact may be
visible, as the CPU modification may still resides in cache.

The result of this is undefined and will become a hard error
