vcl: Get Toolkit from SalInstance, not SystemEnvData
had done for the Toolkit, also retrieve the Platform
from the SalInstance instead of storing it in the
frame/object-specific SystemEnvData.
Also stop letting the availability be dependent on
#elif defined( UNX )
and rename Platform::Invalid to Platform::Other.
Initially, the latter is used everywhere where
nothing was explicitly set so far (and for the
non-UNX platforms that didn't have SystemEnvData::platform
at all so far).
This can be further adjusted in the future.
Not making it UNX-specific also removes one challenge
on the way to make the qt6 VCL plugin available on Windows
(see WIP change at [1]) because the existing logic
can now be used on all platforms.

Audio / video Media Implementation.
Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality. Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files.
Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation
of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar /
mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox
item.
avmedia / gstreamer
The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in
offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on
gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress
presentation on Linux with gstreamer.
The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete.
In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added support for that later.
Future Works
it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI.
