Subject: screenshot: Move HAVE_RECORDER check into screencast service
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/50.5-1+rpi1~1^2~435^2^2~2

screenshot: Move HAVE_RECORDER check into screencast service

Some gstreamer plugins require a connection to the display server,
so if we end up initializing gstreamer before we are ourselves
fully initialized, we may end up with a locked compositor.

Avoid this by moving the runtime recorder check into the screencast
D-Bus service, so that all gstreamer calls happen out of process.
