GstPlay is not specified as a dependency

I'm running Blanket 0.6.0 installed from RPM on openSUSE. I believe that the build system there is able to automatically work out the required dependencies by looking at the registered plugins by gi.require_version() (using pkgconfig(gobject-introspection-1.0) I think).

Given the known issues, e.g. #199 you have updated blanket to support GStreamer 1.20 and the new GstPlay interface. However, the require_version line is still:

gi.require_version('GstPlayer', '1.0')

This seems to be causing the RPM to only define a dependency on:

Requires       : [9]
    /usr/bin/python3
    typelib(GLib)
    typelib(GObject)
    typelib(Gio)
    typelib(Gst) = 1.0
    typelib(Gdk) = 4.0
    typelib(Gtk) = 4.0
    typelib(Adw) = 1
    typelib(GstPlayer) = 1.0

and so it does not install the GstPlay library and so it falls back to the GstPlayer path which fails as in #199

Maybe it makes sense to update the require_version for Gst to 1.20 and to change GstPlayer to GstPlay? I don't know enough about GObject etc to be sure.

The main reason of the current state is that 1.20 wasn't available in the Flatpak Freedesktop platform (haven't checked if it's already available). So requiring GstPlay would make the app fail if 1.20 isn't installed.

I will simply drop GstPlayer when 1.20 in available in the Freedesktop platform.
