Add support for Meson as alternative/parallel build system

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson

With contributions from:

Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

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:

http://blog.nirbheek.in/2016/07/building-and-developing-gstreamer-using.html

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
