Request the correct chroma format for decoding grayscale streams.
i.e. make lookups of the VA chroma format more generic, thus possibly
supporting more formats in the future.
This means that, if a VA driver doesn't support grayscale formats,
it is now going to fail. We cannot safely assume that maybe grayscale
was implemented on top of some YUV 4:2:0 with the chroma components
all set to 0x80.
Add GstVaapiRateControl types and GType values in view to supporting
rate controls for encoding. This is meant to be used for instance in
GstVaapiContext.

Fix deinterlacing flags to make more sense. The TFF (top-field-first)
flag is meant to specify the organization of reference frames used in
advanced deinterlacing modes. Introduce the more explicit flag TOPFIELD
to specify that the top-field of the supplied input surface is to be
used for deinterlacing. Conversely, if not set, this means that the
bottom field of the supplied input surface will be used instead.
Add basic deinterlacing support, i.e. bob-deinterlacing whereby only
the selected field from the input surface is kept for the target surface.
Setting gst_vaapi_filter_set_deinterlacing() method argument to
GST_VAAPI_DEINTERLACE_METHOD_NONE means to disable deinterlacing.
Also move GstVaapiDeinterlaceMethod definition from vaapipostproc plug-in
to libgstvaapi core library.

Add new chroma formats available with VA-API >= 0.34.0. In particular,
this includes "RGB" chroma formats, and more YUV subsampled formats.
Also add a new from_GstVaapiChromaType() helper function to convert
libgstvaapi chroma type to VA chroma format.
Handle global-alpha from GstVideoOverlayComposition API. Likewise,
the same code path could also work for premultiplied-alpha but this
was not tested.

Add premultiplied-alpha and global-alpha feature flags, along with converters
between VA-API and gstreamer-vaapi definitions. Another round of helpers is
also necessary for GstVideoOverlayComposition API.
VA drivers may have a faster means to transfer user buffers to GPU
buffers than using memcpy(). In particular, on Intel Gen graphics, we
can use pwrite(). This provides for faster upload of bitstream and can
help higher bitrates.
vaapi_create_buffer() helper function was also updated to allow for
un-mapped buffers and pre-initialized data for buffers.
