You probably want to set correct values for these, at least
GST_API_VERSION and GST_LICENSE will otherwise cause problems when
loading the plugin. Check the values that are defined for the dvb
plugin in gst-plugins-bad for some inspiration :)

For how to let these things best defined with meson, I don't know.
