We have only one copy of gst_va_base_dec_parent_class inside the
vabasedec, so it can not handle the case when there are multi va
decoders inside one pipeline. The pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=xxx.h264 ! h264parse \
! vah264dec ! msdkh265enc ! vah265dec ! fakesink
generates a assertion of
"invalid cast from 'GstVaH264Dec' to 'GstH265Decoder"
and gets a crash.
We should keep the parent_class for each decoder type.

Since GstVaDecodePicture is destroyed completely with its free() function and
it's used as destroy notify by codecs picture, there's no need to call
gst_va_decoder_destroy_buffers() externally, since the codecs base classes
destroy the codec picture when it's required.

The current way of GstVaDecodePicture's finalize will leak some
resource such as parameter buffers and slice data.
The current way deliberately leaves these resource releasing logic
to va decoder related function and trigger a warning if we free the
GstVaDecodePicture without releasing these resources.
But in practice, sometimes, you do not have the chance to release
these resource before picture is freed. For example, H264/Mpeg2
support multi slice NALs/Packets for one frame. It is possible that
we already succeed to parse and generate the first several slices
data by _decode_slice(), but then we get a wrong slice NAL/packet
and fail to parse it. We decide to discard the whole frame in the
decoder's base class, it just free the current picture and does not
trigger sub class's function again. In this kind of cases, we do
not have the chance to cleanup the resource, and the resource will
be leaked.

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

These function were repeated in the different implemented
elements. This patch centralize them.
The side effect is dmabuf memory type is no longer checked with the
current VAContext, but assuming that dmabuf is a consequence of caps
negotiation from dynamic generated caps templates, where the context's
memory types are validated, there's no need to validate them twice.
