Since the strings are empty for GST_MSDK_CAPS_MAKE_WITH_DMABUF_FEATURE
and GST_MSDK_CAPS_MAKE_WITH_VA_FEATURE, when excuting
gst-inspect-1.0.exe msdkh265enc, there will be convert static caps error
because of the extra semicolon between two empty strings. Now macro
definitions are added to avoid this issue.

We make all MSDK encoders declare "memory:VAMemory" feature. Then
the pipeline such as:
gst-launch-1.0 -vf filesrc location=xxx.h264 ! h264parse ! \
vah264dec ! msdkh265enc ! fakesink
will choose VA memory caps between the VA decoder and MSDK encoder.

The MSDK encoder's query function is not set and it just forwards
all query to its base class. We now need to answer the context
query correctly. Other VA plugins need to query the VA display.
By the way, the current query of "gst.msdk.Context" is also missing.
The other MSDK elements must depend on the bin's context message(
sent in context_propagate()) to set their MsdkContext correctly.

We now can use the gst va lib's display to create our MSDK context,
and use its helper functions to simplify our code. The improved logic
is like this:
1. Every MSDK element should use gst_msdk_context_find() to find a MSDK
context from neighbour. If valid, reuse it.
2. Use gst_msdk_ensure_new_context(). It will first query neighbours
about the GstVaDisplay, if found(e.g. some VA element is connected),
use gst_msdk_context_from_external_display() to create a MSDK context.
3. Then, creating the MSDK context from scratch. It creates both the
display and MSDK context.
