[OE-core] GStreamer 1.0 meson build transition

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hm, true. Alright, I'll do that. For discussions about the recipe 
changes, should I create a fork of oe-core and place them there, just 
like how one would prepare merge requests? To me, it sounds more 
efficient than posting the patches in the mailing list for discussing them.

And speaking of upgrades, my changes are against 1.16.1, so the 1.16.0 
-> 1.16.1 upgrade needs to make it into master-next in first.
