GStreamer: each QMediaPlayer now has its own volume by default.
We were using the volume property of GStreamer's playbin element to set
the volume. This could behave differently depending on the system
configuration; it could affect the system volume or the media player
own audio stream.
We now use a 'volume' element to do software attenuation on the audio
data sent to the audio sink, it allows each QMediaPlayer to always have
its own volume.
To preserve the previous behavior, developers can set the
QT_GSTREAMER_USE_PLAYBIN_VOLUME environment variable to true.
[ChangeLog][QtMultimedia][GStreamer] QMediaPlayer::setVolume() doesn't
change the system volume anymore (it could be the case before depending
on the system configuration). Set the QT_GSTREAMER_USE_PLAYBIN_VOLUME
environment variable to true to restore that behavior.
