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.
