remoting: make a gstreamer pipeline configurable

Allow a gstreamer pipeline to be configurable via an weston.ini. It is
necessary that source is appsrc, its name is "src", and sink name is
"sink" in pipeline. Also, remoting plugin ignore port and host
configuration if the gst-pipeline is specified.
