We were using the volume property of GStreamer's playbin element to set
the volume. This could behave differently depending on the system
configuration; it could affect the system volume or the media player
own audio stream.
We now use a 'volume' element to do software attenuation on the audio
data sent to the audio sink, it allows each QMediaPlayer to always have
its own volume.
To preserve the previous behavior, developers can set the
QT_GSTREAMER_USE_PLAYBIN_VOLUME environment variable to true.
[ChangeLog][QtMultimedia][GStreamer] QMediaPlayer::setVolume() doesn't
change the system volume anymore (it could be the case before depending
on the system configuration). Set the QT_GSTREAMER_USE_PLAYBIN_VOLUME
environment variable to true to restore that behavior.

Since buffering information through buffering queries is only valid if
progressive download buffering (on-disk caching) is enabled or local
media is played and we explicitly disable on-disk buffering because of
cleanup issues with gstreamer availablePlaybackRanges() always returns
an empty range for online media.
Seeking is also possible using http range requests therefore if valid
playback ranges could not be determined we should return the [0..duration]
range unless the source is a live stream or the duration is unknown.

At the moment the GStreamer player pipeline is not setup properly when
the VAAPI plugin is available, resulting in no video being shown.
Added 'video/x-surface' as one of the default raw formats for the
decodebin.
Don't use vaapidecode when the video sink is not compatible.
This is a preliminary patch to support VAAPI. In the current state
vaapidecode will never be used as none of our video sinks support the
video/x-surface format.

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.

According to GStreamer documentation "playbin should be set
back to READY or NULL state, then the "uri" property should be set
to the new location and then playbin be set to PLAYING state again."
We reset playbin to NULL state and then call setMedia() again
in case playback is restarted.
