This makes it easier to test PipeWire in its "as-installed" state,
for example in an OS distribution.
The .test metadata files in ${datadir}/installed-tests/${package} are
a convention taken from GNOME's installed-tests initiative, allowing a
generic test-runner like gnome-desktop-testing to discover and run tests
in an automatic way.
The installation path ${libexecdir}/installed-tests/${package} is also
a convention borrowed from GNOME's installed-tests initiative.
In addition to the automated tests, I've installed example executables
in the same place, for manual testing. They could be separated into
a different directory if desired, but they seem like they have more
similarities with the automated tests than differences: both are there
to test that PipeWire works correctly, and neither should be relied on
for production use. Some examples are installed in deeper subdirectories
to avoid name clashes.

Don't use a special name for the replacement libraries but install
them into the modules directory by default. Add an option to install
them into another location.
This way, we don't need to set up symlinks in development, distros can
choose to install them where they want and/or we can use symlinks or
LD_LIBRARY path to select the replacement versions.
Use the pw- prefix for all pipewire tools. This makes the
commands shorter but also avoids conflicts with password
and patchwork tools (pwcli is taken, pwconv is maybe we someday
can make).
pipewire-monitor -> pw-mon
pipewire-cli -> pw-cli
pipewire-dot -> pw-dot
pwcat -> pw-cat
pwcat is analogous to pacat of PulseAudio which implements
both playback and recording capability.
Only wav files are supported for now, and you can use the
handy pwplay and pwrecord aliases for easy use.
Playback a wav file
$ pwplay foo.wav
Record a wav file
$ pwrecord -r 44100 -c 1 -f s16 foo.wav

Add an option to allow the user to disable examples, this will allow to
build pipewire without alsa. Without this option, build with
-Dpipewire-alsa=false -Dalsa=false fails on:
src/examples/meson.build:47:0: ERROR: Unknown variable "alsa_dep".

PipeWire does not work without at least the basic SPA plugins.
Remove the option to disable SPA.

Makes a device with a source and sink that automatically
proxies all physical ports from jack. Jack then drives our
PipeWire pipeline from its own thread.
