4a39efa9f6 mpeg2: parse slice() header earlier.
Parse slice() header and first macroblock position earlier in _parse()
function instead of waiting for the _decode() stage. This doesn't change
anything but readability.

549b5a9389 mpeg2: add codec specific decoder unit.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitMpeg2 object, which holds the standard
GstMpegVideoPacket and additional parsed header info. Besides, we now
parse as early as in the _parse() function so that to avoid un-necessary
creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for video packets that are not slices.

63a7e42484 decoder: introduce lists of units to decode before/after frame.
Theory of operations: all units marked as "slice" are moved to the "units"
list. Since this list only contains slice data units, the prev_slice pointer
was removed. Besides, we now maintain two extra lists of units to be decoded
before or after slice data units.

In particular, all units in the "pre_units" list will be decoded before
GstVaapiDecoder::start_frame() is called and units in the "post_units"
list will be decoded after GstVaapiDecoder::end_frame() is called.

c727e5b6d6 decoder: drop useless checks for codec objects.
Codec objects are used internally only and they are bound to be created
with a valid GstVaapiDecoder object.

0ff8556f65 vaapidecode: avoid double release of frame on error.
Don't call gst_video_decoder_drop_frame() if gst_video_decoder_finish_frame()
was already called before and it returned an error. In that case, we were
releasing the frame again, thus leading to a "double-free" condition.

4344a1053d configure: check for GstVideoDecoder API.
GstVideoDecoder API is part of an unreleased GStreamer 0.10 stack. In particular,
this is only available in git 0.10 branch or GStreamer >= 1.0 stack. Interested
parties may either use upstream git 0.10 branch or backport the necessary support
for GstVideoDecoder API, thus including helper tools like GstVideoCodecFrame et al.

51d028a628 surfaceproxy: drop accessors to obsolete attributes.

8c2d9bcd24 decoder: maintain decoded frames as GstVideoCodecFrame objects.
Maintain decoded surfaces as GstVideoCodecFrame objects instead of

039eb3bb6c vaapidecode: output all decoded frames as soon as possible.
Make sure to push all decoded frames downstream as soon as possible.
This makes sure we don't need to wait for a new frame to be ready to
be decoded before receiving new decoded frames.

This also separates the decode process and the output process. The latter
could be moved to a specific GstTask later on.

09c9e20379 decoder: add gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame() API.
Add new gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame() function meant to be used with
gst_vaapi_decoder_decode(). The purpose is to return the next decoded
frame as a GstVideoCodecFrame and the associated GstVaapiSurfaceProxy
as the user-data object.

098eb2624e h264: optimize initialization process of decoder units.
Decoder units were zero-initialized, including the SPS/PPS/slice headers.
The latter don't require zero-initialization since the codecparsers/ lib
will do so for key variables already. This is not a great value per se but
at least it makes it possible to check whether the default initialization
decisions made in the codecparsers/ lib were right or not.

This can be reverted if this exposes too many issues.

63c455d28d h264: add codec specific decoder unit.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitH264 object, which holds the standard
NAL unit header (GstH264NalUnit) and additional parsed header info.
Besides, we now parse headers as early as in the _parse() function so
that to avoid un-necessary creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for
NAL units that are not slices.

This is a performance win by ~+1.1% only.

e7e5c74a6e decoder: use GstVideoCodecState.
Use standard GstVideoCodecState throughout GstVaapiDecoder and expose
it with a new gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() function. This makes
it possible to drop picture size (width, height) information, framerate
(fps_n, fps_d) information, pixel aspect ratio (par_n, par_d) information,
and interlace mode (is_interlaced field).

This is a new API with backwards compatibility maintained. In particular,
gst_vaapi_decoder_get_caps() is still available.

6bed9ebe0f decoder: expose new parse/decode API.
Introduce new decoding process whereby a GstVideoCodecFrame is created
first. Next, input stream buffers are accumulated into a GstAdapter,
that is then passed to the _parse() function. The GstVaapiDecoder object
accumulates all parsed units and when a complete frame or field is
detected, that GstVideoCodecFrame is passed to the _decode() function.

Ultimately, the caller receives a GstVaapiSurfaceProxy if decoding
process was successful.

ea9703362c decoder: add {start,end}_frame() hooks.
The start_frame() hook is called prior to traversing all decode-units
for decoding. The unit argument represents the first slice in the frame.

determine the actual VA context parameters.
