It is currently not always possible to predict the actual output filename
of a recording - the file-template does not necessarily use an absolute
path and may contain %d and %t escape sequences.
This is OK for fire-and-forget uses like the existing keyboard shortcut,
but we will soon expose the functionality on DBus and consumers of that
API might very well need to access the file after the recording. So do
the same as our screenshot API and add an optional (out) parameter to
record().

Often the first thing a user wants to do after making a recording
is post it somewhere.
This commit adds the video to recently used items, so that it shows
up prominently in open file choosers.

Recording continues for some time after the recorder object
is closed, since closing isn't a synchronous operation.
This commit defers quiting the test-recorder application until
the recording is finished.

The stage is a floating object. We don't own a reference
to it, so we shouldn't unref it.
This commit removes the erroneous unref call and makes sure
we call clutter_actor_destroy on the stage when we're done
with it.

clutter_init() fails under normal circumstances like
being unable to open a display connection, so it shouldn't
be handled with g_error() producing a core dump.
Clutter consistently produces an error message when
clutter_init() fails, so we don't need to print out any
error message.

For development and demonstration purposes, it's neat to be able to
record a screencast of gnome-shell without any external setup.
Built-in recording can also give much better quality than is possible
with a generic desktop recording, since we hook right into the paint
loop.
src/shell-recorder.[ch]: A general-purposes object to record a Clutter
stage to a GStreamer stream.
src/shell-recorder-src.[ch]: A simple GStreamer source element (similar
to appsrc in the most recent versions of GStreamer) for injecting
captured data into a GStreamer pipeline.
src/test-recorder.c: Test program that records a simple animation.
configure.ac src/Makefile.am: Add machinery to conditionally build
ShellRecorder.
tools/build/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh: Add gstreamer packages
to the list of required packages for Fedora.
js/ui/main.js: Hook up the recorder to a MetaScreen ::toggle-recording
keybinding.
