Make aptcc backend's GStreamer support optional

Hi,

Ubuntu currently includes the aptcc PackageKit backend to install APT packages over PackageKit's DBus interface, but Ubuntu doesn't make use of the functionality to resolve GStreamer packages over PackageKit (Ubuntu uses the sessioninstaller GStreamer plugin instead).

So I'd like to avoid the GStreamer dependency of the aptcc PK backend (notably because we're transitioning from GStreamer 0.10 to 1.0).

Attaching a patch to this effect.

Thanks for considering!

NB: tested new configure flag with:
- force disabled, with gstreamer deps available (result: disabled)
- force enabled, with gstreamer deps available (result: enabled)
- force enabled, with gstreamer deps unavailable (result: fails configure)
- default (autodetection), with gstreamer deps available (result: enabled)
- default (autodetection), with gstreamer deps available (result: disabled)
