Headless obs test using libobs

QT dependcy

The test program depends on QT5 because libobs doesn't seem to initialize OpenGL properly (segfault in gl_context_create when calling obs_reset_video). Calling the QT init function beforehand seems to bypass this issue.

This could be a bug in libobs, the main obs frontend is not affected because it uses QT.

Using macOS, Qt is not needed, you can delete all references in the code and CMakeLists.txt.

Getting Started

• Build OBS from the sources. See https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#linux-portable-mode-all-distros .
• Using the given cmake command-line, files are installed in $HOME/obs-studio-portable . If you change this path, you need to update OBS_INSTALL_PATH in ./config.sh to values relevant to your setup.
• Run ./compile.sh
• After compiling, run ./run.sh -h for instructions

TODO

• Fix runtime path; currently we need to cd into obs's install path (see run.sh) for obs to find the *.effect files in find_libobs_data_file()
• CMake: set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++17 -Wall -Werror -Wno-long-long -pedantic")
• HTML frontend example
