Instead of always using xvimagesink as GStreamer backend for the
widget and window control (works only with X11), we now try to
pick a video sink that fits the current configuration.
It first tries a set of known video sinks that can work with
the Qt platform plugin in use. If none is available, it
dynamically picks a video sink available on the system that can be
used with our backend.
Even if the video sink is now picked in a smarter way, xcb is still
the only supported platform plugin. The reason is that it's the
only Unix plugin which can provide a valid native window handle.
Additional work is needed to support other plugins like wayland
or directfb.

We need a native X window handle to be able to use xvimagesink. If Qt
doesn't use the Xcb platform plugin, don't try to use that element.
This patch makes QVideoWidget usable when the system doesn't run X11
but xvimagesink is installed anyway. Widget and window controls become
invalid and the plugin therefore falls back to the renderer control.

Qt copyrights are now in The Qt Company, so we could update the source
code headers accordingly. In the same go we should also fix the links to
point to qt.io.

Removed QGstreamerVideoOverlay and related classes. It was used as
'Window' control but performs worse than QGstreamerVideoWindow which
does basically the same thing using GStreamer ready-made components
instead.
Removed X11 dependencies and related configuration tests. It was only
needed for QGstreamerVideoOverlay.

The gstreamer blob has been split into four plugins: audiodecoder,
camerabin, mediacapture, and mediaplayer.
Note: camerabin is still disabled because it is untested camerabin2
implementation.
A new qmake configuration use_gstreamer_camera has been introduced
and is needed for the mediacapture plugin to expose the camera
service. This configuration has been disabled by default.
Shared functionality has been moved to the internal gsttools library.
