meson: add gst-full-version-script option
Can be used to control the exact symbols exported, or not, in
libgstreamer-full.
This is useful when building a tailored libgstreamer-full aimed
to be run with some specific binaries. By using such version script
one can reduce the size of the generated lib by letting the linker
garbage collect all the unused APIs.
