bluetooth: Introduce a can_be_supported API for A2DP codecs

This API internally checks if a requested codec can be supported on the
system. This is especially required for codecs supported via GStreamer
where the availability of a plugin decides if the said codec can be
supported.

This will be used to prevent registration of a codec which the remote
endpoint device might be able to support, but, PulseAudio can't as the
codec is not available on the system due to the absence of a plugin.
We can also prevent listing or switching to an unavailable codec.

Note that the codec negotiation happens with the bluez stack even before
a device is connected. Because of this, we need to make sure that gst_init
is called before checking for the availability of a plugin. Since
module-bluez5-device gets loaded only after a connection to the device
has been established, doing the gst_init in that or one of the bluetooth
modules is not feasible.
