Global class identifiers, such as "Node", "SessionItem", "Conf", etc
are so far defined either as methods, which are constructors for
the GObject class, or as tables, which contain "static" methods, i.e.
methods that can be called without an instance.
In some cases, we may want to mix a class being both instantiatable
with a constructor and also have static methods. To support this,
allow the class identifier be declared as a table with the constructor
being defined as the "__new" method. This change allows calling the
table as a method and execute "__new" underneath.
For instance:
```
json = Conf.get_section_as_json("foobar") -- static method
conf = Conf("/foo/bar") -- constructor, equivalent to Conf.__new("/foo/bar")
```

The WirePlumber daemon implements the session & policy management service. It follows a modular design, having plugins that implement the actual management functionality. The WirePlumber Library provides API that allows you to extend the WirePlumber daemon, to write management or status tools for PipeWire (apps that don't do actual media streaming) and to write custom session managers for embedded devices.
