module-fallback-sink: add dynamically appearing fallback sink

P V requested to merge pvir/pipewire:fallback-sink into master

Add a module for a fallback dummy sink, which appears dynamically when no other sinks are present.

Enable it for pipewire-pulse, because Pulseaudio will also show dynamically a dummy sink.

Fixes #1838 (closed)

After thinking, it seems like it's the job of pipewire-pulse to create the fallback null sink, not the job of the session manager. Implement it as a module that pipewire-pulse loads from the configuration file, so that it is possible to disable if this behavior annoys someone.
