This a new VA-API implementation of a H264 encoder.
It can control the GOP and parameter settings, while the MV searching,
VCL and the rate control algorithm are implemented by VA drivers and HW.
It supports most of the common usage options in H264, but still lacks
of look ahead, field, B frame weighted prediction, etc.

The g_queue_clear_full() and g_array_copy() functions in the glib
may not be available for the current glib version check, so we add
helper functions to wrap it.
This should be deleted after the glib version bumps.

This patch adds a new parameter: hdr-tone-mapping (same as
vaapipostproc), if the HDR capabilites are availabe in driver, and
it's disabled by default.
If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled then HDR fields in sink caps are
processed in frames from HDR to SDR, removing those hdr fields in
source pad caps too.
hdr-tone-mapping is not enabled if a color conversion is also
requested, since it fails to process in the iHD driver, so far.

In commit e699aaeb we moved linking of libgudev to the plugin rather
the library, because it's only used in the plugin. But the dependency
check is still done in library.
This patch removes the dependency check in library, and updates the
dependency check in plugin.

It's almost pointless and makes little sense as subclass might
want to modify refcount of the object or so. And all subclasses
are already casting them to non-const version as well.
In a general sense, we need to avoid passing refcounted object
with const qualifier.

Intel drivers expose some colorbalance's maximum values much more
bigger than their minimum values, given their middle values (default
value). This means, in practice, that the real middle point between
the maximum and minimum values implies a major change in the color
balance, which is not expected by the GStreamer color balance logic.
This patch makes the given maximum value symmetrical to the minimum
value, given the middle one (default value).

When fixating color, there might be "other caps" with color spaces not
supported by the caps features exposed in the vapostproc's source pad
caps template (perhaps it's a bug somewhere else in GStreamer).
This solution checks if the proposed format exists in the filter
within the caps feature associated with the proposed format.
The check is done with the new filter's function
gst_va_filter_has_video_format().

The current code does not set the copied memory correctly when it is popped
from the surface cache pool.
1. We forget to ref the allocator, which causes the allocator to be freed
unexpected, and we get a crash later because of the memory violation.
2. We forget to add ref_mems_count, which causes the surface leak because
the surface can not be pushed back to the cache pool again.

Delay decoders downstream negotiation just before an output frame
needs to be allocated.
This is required, are least for H.264 and H.265 decoders, since
codec_data might trigger a new sequence before finishing upstream
negotiation, and sink pad caps need to set before setting source pad
caps, particularly to forward HDR fields. The other decoders are
changed too in order to keep the same structure among them.

Using GstBaseDec hack to access the parent_object of each element in
the element itself is a bit fragile. It would be better to keep its
own parent object as the usual global variable. It would make it
resistant to code changes.
The GstBaseDec macro to access the parent object now it's internal to
base decoder.

gst_va_fixate_format() will iterate all othercaps' structures to find
the one with less information lost at color conversion. If a structure
with same color format is found, the iteration stops. It's like a
smart truncation. Then, this function also will choose the caps
feature.
Later this structure is used fixate its size and no further truncation
is needed.
Don't intersect at fixate, since it kills possible resizing.

At gst_va_dmabuf_allocator_setup_buffer_full, static code analysis tool
does not know number of objects in descriptor is always larger than 0 if
export_surface_to_dmabuf succeeds. Thus, the tool will assume buf is
allocated with mem but not released when desc.num_objects equals to 0
and raise a mem leak issue.
For gst_va_dambuf_memories_setup, we should also inform the tool that
n_planes will be larger than 0 by checking the value at very beginning.
Then, the defect similar to above will not be raised during static analysis.

gst_va_vpp_complete_caps_features() now receives the @feature_name to
add and return if @caps doesn't provide it.
So, instead of two nested loops, now the function is a single loop,
traversing @caps to find if each structure already contains the requested
@features_name.
It's important to add missing caps features with @caps, in order to
not lost information.
The function caller does the external loop by calling per each
available caps feature.

In order to make more readable the caps transformation, the operation
was split in two phases:
1. Rangify the supported caps structures.
2. Add the missing (and supported) caps features.
Step 1 modified its logic, by copying any unrecognized structure.
It's a previous step required for allowing ANY caps feature as
passthrough.
