Since vaapipostproc is only registered if the driver supports it, all the
support for dynamic loading were removed. Though some leftovers remained.

In the spirit of the codec split, this patch removes the documentation of
vaapidecode and adds a page per each possible decoder.
Nonetheless, only those available in the compilation system are going to be
instrospected, because the rest are not registered.
Split the vaapidecode to all the supported codecs with the format
vaapi{codec}dec.
vaapidecode is stil registered as a GObject type, but not as a
GStreamer feature, so it can be used internally by vaapidecodebin without
changing its code too much.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734093
Since the elements dependant of the VA video processor are now only registered
if it is available, vaapidecodebin code can be simplified a lot, removing all
the code required to check if the VA video processor was available.

The plugins should not expose the feature meta:GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta in
their caps templates if they were not compiled either with GLX or EGL support.
As JPEG decoder has been split and demoted, it cannot be handled by
vaapidecodebin
Added a fixme comment regarding the future removal of vaapidecode.

Rather than create a dummy display, if none has propagated as a context, we
should try to get the one from vaapidecode.
As the bin is already in READY state, the vaapidecode should be also in that
state. That means that the contexts have been negotiated, and it should have
already a display.

The former approach to left the bin unfinished has some problems: the context
cannot be shared because the vaapidecode is unlinked in many cases, leading to
creating a VADisplay twice.
Initially the bin is fully functional, constructed as
(-----------------------------------)
| vaapidecodebin |
| (-------------) (-------) |
|<--| vaapidecode |--->| queue |--->|
| (-------------) (-------) |
(-----------------------------------)
When the context is shared and the VADisplay has VPP capabilities, before
changing to READY state, the bin is reconfigured dynamically, adding the
vaapipostproc element afeter the queue:
(--------------------------------------------------------)
| vaapidecodebin |
| (-------------) (-------) (---------------) |
|<--| vaapidecode |--->| queue |--->| vaapipostproc |--->|
| (-------------) (-------) (---------------) |
(--------------------------------------------------------)

Delay the bin configuration until changing to READY state. This is because we
should add the vaapipostproc element until the vaapidecode has emitted the
HAVE_CONTEXT message, so de gst_bin_add() could set the context set to
vaapipostproc.

The display returned by gst_vaapi_video_context_get_display() increments the
references. Thus, we have to unref the returned display.

If the VPP's deinterlace-method is set, first we should check if the postproc
is already instanced to set it. Otherwise we just store it until the VPP is
added into the bin.

There are sometimes that the VA-API display context is not shared among the
pipeline, but it is important to know it before going to READY state (when the
pipeline is already linked).
One instance of this case is this:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=media ! decodebin ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink
This patch adds a new function in gstvaapipluginutil called
gst_vaapi_create_test_display(). Its purpose is to create a disposable VA-API
display, which only will be used for verify if the VAEntrypointVideoProc is
available by the hardware. Afterwards, it should be unrefed.
If the vaapidecodebin is going to READY state, and the element still doesn't
know if VPP is available, the last resort is to create a new instance of the
VA-API display and test for it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749554
Refactor the main vaapi caps strings into three macros:
GST_VAAPI_MAKE_SURFACE_CAPS, GST_VAAPI_MAKE_ENC_SURFACE_CAPS and
GST_VAAPI_MAKE_GLTEXUPLOAD_CAPS.
Those are in gstvaapipluginutil.h so all the elements could use them, instead
of re-declaring them every time.
No functional changes.

When the system is aware that VPP is not available by the VA driver,
it would be useful to notify to the user that the disable-vpp property
has changed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749554
Instead of creating and adding VPP into the bin at setup, we wait until
we are sure the VA driver supports it. We know that when the VA video
context is received by the bin. Afterwards, it is decided to instanciate
and link the VPP or not.
This is more efficient and safer than waiting the VPP to fail and then
disable it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749554
Adding a new propery "disable-vpp", enabling it will prevent
the insertion of vaapipostproc child element.
This is helpful in debugging, specifically to narrow-down the
vaapidecodebin/vaapipostproc related negotiation issues.
No support for run-time disabling for now.

Fix link when building plugin elements without HEVC support. e.g. don't
try to call into gst_vaapi_decoder_h265_set_alignment() if there is no
support HEVC enabled in libgstvaapi.
Also, drop disabled codecs from static template caps. Add the missing
HEVC static template caps into vaapidecodebin too.
The support for GStreamer 1.0 has been obsoleted in 0.5.10 release.
GStreamer 1.2 is the a minimal requirement for building the gstreamer-vaapi.
This patch removes all the pre-processor conditional code compilation guarded
for gstreamer-1.0.
Thus, all the video converters were removed too.

The purpose of gstcompat.h is to couple the API differences among
gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10. Since gstreamer-0.10 is obsolete, the code
in this compatibility layer shall be removed.
Nevertheless, the gstcompat.h header should be kept, if new incompatibilites
appear in the future, but it shall live in gst/vaapi, not in gst-libs.
This patch removes the crumbs defined gstcompat.h and moves it to gst/vaapi.
In order to avoid layer violations, gstcompat.h includes sysdeps.h and all
the includes in gst/vaapi of sysdeps.h are replaced with gstcompat.h

Add a "vaapidecodebin" element to vaapi plugins.
Child Elements: "vaapidecode ! queue ! vaapipostproc"
The Reasons for implementing a new bin element:
-- Help to Autoplug Hardware Accelerated Video Postprocessing element in playbin
with out any dependency to upstream gstreamer.
This is to overcome the *unacceptable* delay in upstream gstreamer to get new
features in. Eg: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687182.
Also customers using older gstreamer versions (1.2 and 1.4) will get the
benefit of autoplugging, hardware accelerated deinterlacing support etc.
-- Help to maintain a single thread implementation in vaapidecode.
This will result a dead-lock free vaapidecode in most of the cases.
