contrib: build autotools/make targets in a build directory

Steve Lhomme requested to merge robUx4/vlc:make-build-dir into master

After that, !2528 (merged) and !2542 (merged) only the ugliest of the build system remain not building in a separate folder.

  • bgp which doesn't have a configure script but is never built (and won't build)
  • gsm uses a hardcoded makefile
  • fontconfig has some issues with FC_GPERF_SIZE_T detection on macOS !2606 (closed)
  • freetype2 is messy and switch to CMake !2570 (merged)
  • gpg-error has some issues on Android
  • live555 uses a hardcoded makefile
  • lua uses a hardcoded makefile
  • ncurses which has a very dirty autotools usage cleaned in !2579 (merged)
  • qt which is too dirty to touch
  • sipplay which could be using these CMake build files instead !2571 (closed)
  • zlib, which can switch to CMake !2568 (merged)

Draft on top of !2560 (merged)
