In fact, the va decoder is just a internal helper class and its access
is under the control of all dec elements. So far, there is no parallel
operation on it now.
At the other side, some code scan tools report race condition issues.
For example, the "context" field is just protected with lock at _open()
but is not protected at _add_param_buffer().
So we just delete all its lock usage.

Since bins can set the context of their children elements, the set_context()
vmethod shouldn't call bus messages post methods, since it locks the parent
object, the bin, which might be already locked, leading to a deadlock.

num_backward_references > 0 means we need to cache several frames
after the current frame. But the basetransform class does not
provide any _drain() kind function, so we do not have the chance
to push out our cached frames when EOS or set caps event comes.
Rather than losing the last several frames, we should just give up
the backward reference here.

The current code forgets to push the first several frames if the forward
reference > 0. They are just cached in history array and will never be
deinterlaced and pushed.
For the first several frames, even the forward reference frames are not
enough, we still need to deinterlace them as normal and push them after that.

Doing so resets the stride from the VideoMeta and it wasn't done before
the commit below. While on it, drop the plane size check as we can't
reliably predict the correct size when using DRM modifiers.

The driver - AKA intel-vaapi-driver - has been unmaintained for four years
now and encoding appears to be broken in various cases. As it's unlikely
that the situation will improve, blocklist the driver for encoding.
Decoding appears to be stable enough to keep it enabled.
The driver can still be used by setting the `GST_VA_ALL_DRIVERS` env
variable.

The code is simplified by using GQuarks for looking for caps features, and
removing inner loops.
Also, it's used the pad template caps to compare with the incoming caps because
is cheaper at the beginning of negotiation, where the pad template caps is used.
And, since the ANY caps where removed, there's no need to check for an initial
intersection.
Finally, the completion of caps features is done through a loop.

The ANY caps in pad template caps seems to mess up the DMA negotiation.
The command of:
GST_GL_API=opengl gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=NV12 !
vapostproc ! "video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf)" ! glimagesink
fails to negotiate, but in fact, the vapostproc can convert the input NV12
formant into the RGBA format to render.
The ANY may help the passthough mode, but we should make the negotiate correct
first.

When enable parallel encoding, it is possible that the unshown frame
is not output but it is already be marked as a repeated frame header.
So we need to use a dedicated buffer to hold the repeat frame header,
don't mix it with the orignal frame data.

The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

The FORCE_KEYFRAME frame which has GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME
bit set should be the sync point. So we should let it be an IDR frame to begin
a new GOP, rather than just promote it to an I frame.
