wasapi2: Increase rank to primary + 1

Seungha Yang requested to merge seungha.yang/gst-plugins-bad:wasapi2-rank into master 
    wasapi2 plugin should be preferred than old wasapi plugin if available because:
    * wasapi2 supports automatic stream routing, and it's highly recommended
      feature for application by MS. See also
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/automatic-stream-routing
    * This implementation must be various COM threading issue free by design
      since wasapi2 plugin spawns a new dedicated COM thread and all COM objects'
      life-cycles are managed correctly.
      There are unsolved COM issues around old wasapi plugin. Such issues are
      very tricky to be solved unless old wasapi plugin's threading model
      is re-designed.

    Note that, in case of UWP, wasapi2 plugin's rank is primary + 1 already
