Currently, video format is decided with downstream caps intersection,
but that's not correct since chroma is not considered. The video
decoders have to decide the output format given the used chroma, not
by the downstream caps negotiation.
This patch changes that. Still, caps feature is selected by caps
negotiation, then, with the preferred caps feature, the output format
is search within that caps feature.

We should not reset the input/output_frame_count when some configure
changes. For example, the if resolution changes, the current way just
resets the frame count and make the PTS of the output buffer restart
from the original PTS of the first frame. That causes a lot of QOS
event and drop all the new frames.
We should only reset them when encoder start().

If the stream chroma doesn't match with any video format in the source
caps template (generated from va config surface formats) instead of
return unknown, return the first available format in the template,
assuming that the driver would be capable to do color conversions.

Instead of using a hard-coded list of preferred formats according the
chroma type, now if now caps are pre-negotiated, from template caps
will choose the first format with the same chroma type. If
pre-negotiated, then it will choose the first format, with same chroma
type, from the first caps structure.
Also all the decoders will check if GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN is
returned, failing the negotiation.

Make all codecs consistent so that subclass can know additional DPB

When we fixup src caps, the current way of handling the HDR fields is not
correct.
1. We trim the HDR fields only when the input caps is not a subset of the
fixup src caps. But in fact, the input caps with HDR fields such as the
"mastering-display-info" can possibly be the subset of the fixup src caps,
if they have all same other fields.
2. We always copy the colorimetry from input caps to src caps if it is
absent. But when hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, the HDR->SDR conversion makes
the colorimetry change. We should use downstream's setting, or just use the
default colorimetry of SDR.
We changes to:
1. If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, we trim all HDR fields and add a correct
colorimetry.
2. Copy colorimetry from input if it is still absent.
3. Consider the subset replacement.

The current way names the level by the number of B frames it contains, the
less it contains, the higher level it is. So the non ref B frames are in the
lowest layer and the B frames in the highest level refer to I/P frames.
But the widely used way is just the opposite, the ref B frames are in the
lower level and non ref B frames are at the highest level.
The is just a terminology change, and does not have any effect for compression
result and quality.

By default, the classification is
"Converter/Filter/Colorspace/Scaler/Video/Hardware", but if VA
post-processor driver supports either color balance, skin tone
enhancement, sharpening or noise reduction, "Effect" is added.

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

Some problematic H265 stream may miss the reference frame in the DPB,
and get some message like: "No short term reference picture for xxx".
So there may be empty entries in ref_pic_list0/1 when passing to
decode_slice() function of sub class. We need to check the NULL pointer.

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the
picture will populate the DPB if it is a key-frame. To ensure this, remove the
default implementation.

1. Always set the according GstVaH264EncFrame pointer when GstVideoCodecFrame

Currently for copying the coded buffer onto a GStreamer buffer, the
coded buffer is mapped two times: one for getting the size, and later
for do the actual copy. We can avoid this by doing directly in the
element rather than in the general encoder object.

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.

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

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.

It's a previous step required for allowing ANY caps feature as
passthrough.

This new class is a helper for fast/tricky copy of surfaces. First it
tries to copy using the function vaCopy in libva 1.12. If it fails, or
