Title:
Re-enable dLeyna grilo plugin

Fix Released
Status in grilo-plugins source package in Noble:
Fix Committed
Status in grilo-plugins source package in Oracular:

Bug description:

[Impact]
Not recollecting the full history but at least in 22.04/Jammy LTS
Ubuntu supported access to DNLA services for example via rhythmbox
through grilo. At some point (before 24.04 Noble LTS) this was
disabled (compile time configuration) upstream support was expected to
have gone away. This changed now and support has been turned on again
in Plucky.
This leaves a gap where upgrading from Jammy to Noble regresses user-
experience. That could be avoided by simply restoring the
configuration to what is was in Jammy.
I double checked the setup and found that Jammy had the exact same
packaging as it is being proposed. The split of grilo-plugins-0.3-base
(main) and grilo-plugins-0.3-extra (universe) did exist and also the
recommends for dleyna-server by grilo-plugins-0.3-extra.
[Test Plan]
This requires a DLNA source (eg. minidlna) being present in the local
network. With the current version of grilo-plugins-*-extra this will
not be detected when starting rhythmbox. With the proposed changes it
will find the DLNA source.
I did apply the proposed diff to the current grilo-plugins in Noble,
compiled them and was able to access my DLNA music files again.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
This will likely re-instate some/all previously known issues with DLNA
support.
In my case there is a very minor issue that the self-made NAS which
also runs the DLNA service shows up twice. But that is because its
exposed through a .local and made-up local domain. All my fault here.
Otherwise this does not really change code, merely modify the
configure run before compiling to enable support as it was before.

--- Original Description --
The dLeyna grilo plugin was disabled because the dleyna-server package was
dropped in Ubuntu after being deprecated upstream.
However dleyna now has a new maintainer upstream and is maintained in Ubuntu
at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dleyna, so it can be enabled again.
This will be part of the grilo-plugins-0.3-extra package (universe),
like before it was dropped.
