This patch adds an alternative time smoother implementation based on the theory
found at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/misc/rate_estimator.odt.
The functions were written to replace the current smoother functions nearly on
a one-to-one basis, though there are a few differences:
- The smoother_2_put() function takes a byte count instead of a sound card
time as argument. This was changed because in most places a sample count
was converted to a time before passing it to the smoother.
- The smoother needs to know sample rate and frame size to convert byte
counts to time.
- A smoother_2_get_delay() function was added to directly retrieve the stream
delay from the smoother.
- A hack for USB devices was added which works around an issue in the alsa
latency reports for USB devices.
The smoother delivers much better precision than the current implementation.
For results, see the document referenced above.
The new functions are still unused. The following patches will convert all
callers of the smoother functions so that they can use both smoother
implementations, depending on a configure option.

Commit 4868fcf5f3 ("daemon: Rely on
systemd unit file for X11 plugin initialization") added a new systemd
unit file, pulseaudio-x11.service, generated from a respective .in file.
Unfortunately, this was only hooked up to meson, and is not currently
installed by autotools. Among other breakage, "make dist" produces a
tarball that meson is then unable to build (because a file is missing).

This adds a GStreamer-based RTP implementation to replace our own. The
original implementation is retained for cases where it is not possible
to include GStreamer as a dependency.
The idea with this is to be able to start supporting more advanced RTP
features such as RTCP, non-PCM audio, and potentially synchronised
playback.

BlueZ 4 is no longer supported by BlueZ community for a long long time,
also by moving to BlueZ 5 it should make it even more clearer that
BlueZ 4 is no longer an option.
This is basically a copy of module-always-sink but doing the same for
sources. Whenever no source is available, a module-null-source is loaded
and whenever a new source is available again, module-null-source is
unloaded.
By this, anything using a source will automatically be switched to the
null source when the actual source disappears, and back to the actual
source if it appears again.
module-bluetooth-proximity has not worked for quite a while, since it
uses pre-BlueZ4 APIs. Nobody complained since then, which is a good
indication that it doesn't have much users. Even the original commit
message refers to it more as a toy than as something of great use: "add
new fun module that automatically mutes your audio devices when you
leave with your bluetooth phone, and unmutes when you come back"
Removing it we completely remove the dependency on libbluetooth.
