f266c2ca15 screenshot: Move HAVE_RECORDER check into screencast service
Some gstreamer plugins require a connection to the display server,
so if we end up initializing gstreamer before we are ourselves
fully initialized, we may end up with a locked compositor.

Avoid this by moving the runtime recorder check into the screencast
D-Bus service, so that all gstreamer calls happen out of process.

a8c5d77872 dbusServices/screencast: Install unconditionally
We currently decide at build time whether to include screencast
support, based on whether the required gst/pipewire library headers
are installed.

That check is imprecise, because having the library headers available
at build time doesn't necessarily mean that the libraries are there
at runtime, or that the corresponding typelibs are installed.

It makes more sense to check the requirements at runtime, so prepare
for that by installing the screencast service unconditionally, but
bail out early if the dependencies aren't met.

2b0731ab81 Move screencasting into a separate service process
Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.
