Summary [GStreamer] Expose VIDEO_DECODING_LIMIT through an environment variable

The RDK-E downstream platform would like to have a single unified build for many kind of devices. For that reason, the platform compile-time VIDEO_DECODING_LIMIT restriction aren't appropriate anymore, since the same build can be used for devices with different runtime limits. A way to specify the decoding limit ar runtime would be desirable. An environment variable looks like a better way to do it than a runtime setting, since the limit is unlikely to change at runtime and likely to change per device (with a value consistent on every execution). Moreover, having a setting would mean extra changes in the dependent packages that embed WebKit, while having en environmente variable would be less intrusive and would only mean a change in the (easier to maintain) startup scripts.
