Actually I almost did not touch gst-uninstalled at all for that. I simply
refactored it sensibly so we do not depend on build to be done to set the
environment but instead rely on the meson introspection information to do so,
which is much nicer in any case. Also I do not expect much more thing to be
needed in there in the future tbh.

Problem was about the setup script, and I am coming up with a separate script
for it (rebuilding from scratch to check it still works).
