Based on #532, which is itself based on #531

De-duplicates logic using a mixer singleton, not unlike the wireplumber mixer.

This serves to share the gvc handling code between the locker and the panel. The interface is generic enough to allow for new features :

• volume panel widget now presents a toggle to mute/unmute
• microphone « widget », which is a sub-configuration of volume with which it shares it’s configuration.
• The locker can now control volume instead of just un/muting, by virtue of re-using the same widget as the panel. (needs testing)

This approach also helps a potential de-coupling of the audio control widgets from a sound server, at least for allowing volume to work natively on pw/wp.

I might add the reasoning on locker not having sliders was because lockscreens couldn't have popover widgets due to windowing restrictions in the lockscreen protocol. I don't know the current state, only mentioning incase it is still pertinent.

Currently, this simply has the full slider in the lock screen, but it could also be hidden behind a revealer.
The (current) documentation says : « Popups (such as menus and tooltips) do not currently display while the screen is locked. Please use alternatives, such as GtkPopover (which is backed by a subsurface instead of a popup). », so that would seem to be possible as well if wanted.
