allocators: Add dmabuf-based GstMemory and GstAllocator
Create new GstMemory and GstAllocator base on dmabuf. Memory is not allocated/freed by userland but mapped/unmmaped from a dmabuf file descriptor when requested. This allocator is included in a new lib called libgstallocators https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693826
