During the 1.14 -> 1.15 upgrade, lots of stuff stopped working because
gstreamer changed what features are enabled by default and which ones are
automatically turned on/off via pkgconfig dependency detection.
This resulted in the `gstreamer` ("core" attribute in nixpkgs) package
to have only 15 of its previous 163 build targets enabled, and downstream
packages breaking correspondingly.
To ease maintainability and to ensure users will find the expected features
available (and when not, will see in the nix file why not), we now pass
the `-Dauto_features=enabled` Meson build flag to all gstreamer builds,
which sets all `auto` dependencies to `enabled`, and we explicitly disable
those that we can't build.
This means in particular that `gst-plugins-bad` now has vastly more integrations
(namely all for which nixpkgs has libraries available).
The `--suffix` option escapes it's arguments. This leads to the
`GST_PLUGIN_SYTEM_PATH` variable to be not correctly expanded with the embedded
bash script.
Switching to `--run` and crafting the required export by hand bypasses the issue.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances

* gstreamer-1.0: make gst-launch find plugins again
gst-launch and friends are in the "dev" output now.
* gstreamer-1.0: lower priority on plugins from $NIX_PROFILES
Suffix the plugin paths from $NIX_PROFILES instead of prefixing them to
$GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH. If a program has specifically set up its plugin
path to some custom/specific version, we don't want plugins from
$NIX_PROFILES to mess things up by having higher priority.
- Explicitly moving the files breaks them, because the wrappers
reference the files by absolute path. Also this automatically
moves the manpages to $dev as well.
- Need to explicitly set --exec-prefix since the pkgconfig file has
`toolsdir=${exec_prefix}/bin`, breaking totem:

While at it, enable parallel build.
(And while at it, gst-vaapi 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1.)
* gst-editing-services grew additional build time dependencies, flex and
perl.
* gst-libav switched from libav to ffmpeg as "libav" provider, see
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.6/.
Without using ffmpeg, one may hit issues such as this (which I
initially did):
(gst-plugin-scanner:19751): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/nix/store/0wgpq2yx9wrkp2mh4rn1c7zbiq2bqa2l-gst-libav-1.6.1/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstlibav.so':

So that the tools become useable. The cool thing about wrapping them
like this (looping over $NIX_PROFILES) is that they will work on
non-NixOS systems too, given that $NIX_PROFILES is set correctly.
If you want the old (pure?) behaviour, just run gst-launch etc. with
empty $NIX_PROFILES.
