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.

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.

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.
