Michael Weghorn 5bf58785ba gtk4: Require GTK >= 4.10
For the gtk4 VCL plugin, require GTK version >= 4.10
and drop code for older versions.

This simplifies maintenance, in particular since
requiring 4.10 ensures that the basic GtkAccessible API
is available.

GTK 4.10 was released on 2023-03-04 [1], so it
will be almost 2 years by the time that LO 25.2
will be released.

Given that the gtk4 VCL plugin is still experimental,
providing support for older GTK 4 releases shouldn't
have to be a concern.

Audio / video Media Implementation.

Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality. Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files.

Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar / mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox item.

avmedia / gstreamer

The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress presentation on Linux with gstreamer.

The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete.

In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added support for that later.

Future Works

it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI.
