Add "automated" MSVC 2008/2010 project files

Hi,

I thought it might be a good idea to come up with Visual C++ project files that
have their source file listings filled in during 'make dist', like what is done
now on GLib/Pango/ATK/GTK+/Cogl/Clutter, as the existing Visual C++ projects
can go out-of-date at times, causing builds to break.  The following items are
supported by these project files sets, in x86 and x64 configurations:
GStreamer (core) library
GSTBase library
GSTController library
gst-inspect tool
gst-typefind tool
gst-launch tool
gst-plugin-scanner helper tool
gstcoreelements plug-in

The projects to build GStreamer (core), GSTController, GSTNet libraries (DLLs)
and the gstcoreelements plug-in are done this way, and the other projects in
the GStreamer core package are done normally.

The build results (headers, library LIBs, DLLs, EXEs) are "installed" to a
common location where the GTK+ MSVC builds are "installed" to after
compilation, and the list of headers to install are also filled in by autotools
during 'make dist'.

The generation of win32/common/config.h has also been updated to suit 64-bit
builds better and also received some other updates too to reflect the actual
situation on Visual C++ compilers.

Thanks for the time, as this is a larger patchset, with blessings!

p.s. I only did this for VS 2008/2010 as those are the only versions that I
have around with me.
