jp9000 fbbf274c51 Adjust the way properties view UI displays
It didn't really look very nice in most cases and the controls were
always compacted, doing this makes it look a bit better.

Also change it so the properties window shows the properties on the
bottom below the source rather than to the right, seeing as in most
cases the source has a greater width than height, and it feels just a
little bit better to look at (thought that's just my opinion).

Controls still stretch really far sometimes though, I wonder what should
be done about that to be honest.  Maybe prevent it from scrolling to the
right?

jp9000 8830c4102f obs-studio UI: Implement stream settings UI
- Updated the services API so that it links up with an output and
   the output gets data from that service rather than via settings.
   This allows the service context to have control over how an output is
   used, and makes it so that the URL/key/etc isn't necessarily some
   static setting.

   Also, if the service is attached to an output, it will stick around
   until the output is destroyed.

 - The settings interface has been updated so that it can allow the
   usage of service plugins.  What this means is that now you can create
   a service plugin that can control aspects of the stream, and it
   allows each service to create their own user interface if they create
   a service plugin module.

 - Testing out saving of current service information.  Saves/loads from
   JSON in to obs_data_t, seems to be working quite nicely, and the
   service object information is saved/preserved on exit, and loaded
   again on startup.

 - I agonized over the settings user interface for days, and eventually
   I just decided that the only way that users weren't going to be
   fumbling over options was to split up the settings in to simple/basic
   output, pre-configured, and then advanced for advanced use (such as
   multiple outputs or services, which I'll implement later).

   This was particularly painful to really design right, I wanted more
   features and wanted to include everything in one interface but
   ultimately just realized from experience that users are just not
   technically knowledgable about it and will end up fumbling with the
   settings rather than getting things done.

   Basically, what this means is that casual users only have to enter in
   about 3 things to configure their stream:  Stream key, audio bitrate,
   and video bitrate.  I am really happy with this interface for those
   types of users, but it definitely won't be sufficient for advanced
   usage or for custom outputs, so that stuff will have to be separated.

 - Improved the JSON usage for the 'common streaming services' context,
   I realized that JSON arrays are there to ensure sorting, while
   forgetting that general items are optimized for hashing.  So
   basically I'm just using arrays now to sort items in it.

jp9000 d9251f9e87 Add source properties window (very preliminary)
- Add a properties window for sources so that you can now actually edit
   the settings for sources.  Also, display the source by itself in the
   window (Note: not working on mac, and possibly not working on linux).

   When changing the settings for a source, it will call
   obs_source_update on that source when you have modified any values
   automatically.

 - Add a properties 'widget', eventually I want to turn this in to a
   regular nice properties view like you'd see in the designer, but
   right now it just uses a form layout in a QScrollArea with regular
   controls to display the properties.  It's clunky but works for the
   time being.

 - Make it so that swap chains and the main graphics subsystem will
   automatically use at least one backbuffer if none was specified

 - Fix bug where displays weren't added to the main display array

 - Make it so that you can get the properties of a source via the actual
   pointer of a source/encoder/output in addition to being able to look
   up properties via identifier.

 - When registering source types, check for required functions (wasn't
   doing it before).  getheight/getwidth should not be optional if it's
   a video source as well.

 - Add an RAII OBSObj wrapper to obs.hpp for non-reference-counted
   libobs pointers

 - Add an RAII OBSSignal wrapper to obs.hpp for libobs signals to
   automatically disconnect them on destruction

 - Move the "scale and center" calculation in window-basic-main.cpp to
   its own function and in its own source file

 - Add an 'update' callback to WASAPI audio sources
