gstreamer .NET bindings

[David Ing]

I do not know much about the overall status of this project.  I can see
from the conversation ...

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-sharp/-/issues/10


... that it apparently works with .NET Framework but not .NET Standard or
Core.

I can also tell you that it doesn't work with the msvc binaries on Windows
(just the mingw binaries, presumably).  I recently tried to do some surgery
on gstreamer-sharp and GLibSharp, to make it work with .NET Standard and
the msvc binaries.  But when I tried to use the GstDiscoverer on a file, I
got some kind of memory violation exception.  I never tried it with the
mingw binaries but presumably that might have worked (just guessing).

I can also tell you that most of the objects are `IDisposable` because they
are backed with native pointers.  The finalizers don't backstop the
`Dispose` method for you ... which means you would need to use a lot of
`using` statements or otherwise use special logic to dispose all of these
gstreamer-sharp objects.
