proposed libhybris loader patch

libhybris is a library used by Ubuntu touch, SailfishOS (Jolla phone and
friends) and probably others to load Android bionic libraries inside glibc
based systems.

This allows reusing Android adaptation.

Attaching a patch which adds a new "loader" keyword to gstomx.conf allowing
gst-omx to use libhybris for loading OpenMAX IL cores built for Android.

Here is the MPEG4 video decoder part of gstomx.conf using the hybris loader (as
an example):

[omxmpeg4videodec]
type-name=GstOMXMPEG4VideoDec
core-name=/system/lib/libmm-omxcore.so
component-name=OMX.qcom.video.decoder.mpeg4
rank=256
in-port-index=0
out-port-index=1
loader=hybris
hacks=no-empty-eos-buffer;no-disable-outport
sink-template-caps=video/mpeg,mpegversion=(int)4,systemstream=(boolean)false,width=(int)
[1,MAX],height=(int) [1,MAX]
