Description of changes

NixOS-specific changes include the following:

• Switch from the script-based build system to meson
• Install the upstream-provided systemd user service file
• Create programs.gpu-screen-recorder to host an option for generating setcap wrappers
• Return gpu-screen-recorder-gtk to using tarballs instead of Git (as the developer explicitly asked for that in gpu-screen-recorder: 1.0.0 -> unstable-2023.11.18 #268443)

Can confirm that root wrappers work as expected, thanks!

Changes since last push:

• Rebased onto current master to resolve gpu-screen-recorder-gtk-related conflicts (diff from last time without rebase noise available here).
• Update gpu-screen-recorder-gtk in lockstep. This includes returning to an un-"tagged" revision to match gpu-screen-recorder.
• Switch gpu-screen-recorder-gtk to the Meson build system (direct result of previous entry).
• Return to tarball downloading for gpu-screen-recorder-gtk as originally requested by the maintainer in gpu-screen-recorder: 1.0.0 -> unstable-2023.11.18 #268443.
• Uprev from 2024-07-04 to 2024-07-05.

LGTM

Looks great. Thanks for making this! I've been meaning to make something for this but never got around to it.

Could this work well with the unstable updater? gpu-screen-recorder in the past has been lacking updates in nixpkgs.

It doesn't appear to be compatible without any changes, and given that we ideally want to keep using snapshot tarballs and since there are no usable tags anyways (which appears to account for roughly 50% of unstable updater code), it's most likely easier to just script something separate.
