Library name: GTK

New version number: v3.22.30

The current GTK build is very VERY old: v3.22.19 (circa 2017-08-22). I'm running into bugs that have been fixed a long time ago when using it. So I don't know if v3.22.30 is the right call, but it's the latest. I do know that a 2 year old version is not OK. Could we update to something from this year at least?

I'm currently experimenting with just changing the portfile to point to the latest version and rebuilding. But I'm worried that other dependent libs are also very out of date. GTK has a long list of deps.

Or maybe you should target v3.24.10?

glib, gtk, gstreamer ... officially switched to MESON

with MESON there are some problems in the search for dependencies and this direction does not develop in VCPKG, at least under WINDOWS

Is there an actual recipe or guide to build GTK with meson? I doesn't work out of the box for me.

[gtk] Bump to gtk+-3.24.10 which is the first version using meson build
12b10de 
- Fixes microsoft#7412 by using gtk 3.24.10.

- Possibly fixes microsoft#6554, microsoft#7827, microsoft#8103 as now all the missing assets are
correctly copied into installed/<triplet>/share/ and should be deployed
with the final application.

This simplify the gtk port and correctly generate the missing files.

The source of the problem is with the underlying build system, as these
files were installed by the demo `icon-browser`, but the
gtk-update-icon-cache were executed by the main gtk project, failing if
the demo wasn't built or installed.

- This also fixes microsoft#7641 as now the meson build will correctly generate
the missing .pc files.

- This also fixes microsoft#9035, microsoft#7150 by fixing `vcpkg_configure_meson.cmake`
which fails on Linux/OSX because it indiscriminately try to pass msvc
cl arguments to the cmake c/xx flags. Although this works, it is not
the ideal fix. The correct fix would be to do as suggested in
issue microsoft#8271. Also see issue microsoft#8630.
