set ANY_OF_DISTRO_FEATURES to make gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad build only
when x11 or wayland is enabled.

Hi Changqing,

Thanks for your patch.

So the error we get if we try to build with "vulkan" in DISTRO_FEATURES
but not "x11" not "wayland" is the following:

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad'
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad was skipped: one of 'wayland x11' needs to be in DISTRO_FEATURES

yes, if user bitbake gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, this will be reported.

And this fix will unblock "bitbake world" since gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad is skipped

To be honest, I believe this is a bit misleading, as we are not
mentioning the vulkan DISTRO_FEATURES, while this is the main issue:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad can be built without wayland or x11, just not
with vulkan.

I would really prefer a better error message, but otherwise we should at
least add some comment in the recipe explaining why we have this
ANY_OF_DISTRO_FEATURES line.

I send a V2 to add a comment,  user need to check the comments and commit message

to know why ANY_OF_DISTRO_FEATURES is added.
