[OE-core] GStreamer recipes migration to Meson and _git.bb recipes?

[Alexander Kanavin]

Generally things acceptable to oe-core must be
a) broadly useful to many people
b) regularly tested on the autobuilder.
I don't think AUTOREV recipes would fulfil either. Besides, if gstreamer is
ok for AUTOREV, then why not other components?

But you can easily have such AUTOREV recipes in a separate layer. In fact,
right here:
https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-gstreamer1.0/tree/master/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer

Meson conversion is very welcome, right now is the best time (as later on
there will be a feature freeze). You don't have to convert them all at once.
