Enable dynamic capability support for msdkav1dec, msdkh264dec,
msdkh265dec, msdkmjpegdec, msdkmpeg2dec, msdkvc1dec, msdkvp8dec,
msdkvp9dec.
The gstmsdkdec elements can create the sink caps and src caps
dynamically for different platforms.

We did several things to enable the new memory logic in msdkdec:
(1) We always use video memory for decoder in linux path;
(2) We give negotiated pool to alloc_pool stored in GstMsdkContext which
will be used in callback mfxFrameAllocator:Alloc to alloc surfaces as
MediaSDK needs, and this pool is also available for decoder itself;
(3) We modify decide_allocation process, that is we make pool negotiaion
before gst_msdk_init_decoder to ensure the pool is decided and ready for
use in mfxFrameAllocator:Alloc callback; then we will consider the case
when we need to do the gpu to cpu copy.
(4) In gst_msdkdec_finish_task, we modify the way for copy following the
logic in (3).

Add a pool creation function name as 2 for later use which will create
va pool for video memory in linux and keep system pool for windows.
This gst_msdkdec_create_buffer_pool2 will replace gst_msdkdec_create_buffer_pool
when all the memory allocation modifications are ready in the commits after.

Currently MSDK context does not support d3d11va. Now introduce d3d11va
device to MSDK context, making it able to create msdk session with d3d11
device and to easily share with upstream and donwstream.
Add environment variable to enable user to choose GPU device in multi-GPU
environment. This variable is only valid when there's no context
returned by upstream or downstream. Otherwise it will use the device
that created by upstream or downstream.

Msdkdec should use it own pool when the allocation from downstream query
is not any msdk_allocator (i.e. msdk_video_allocator,
msdk_dmabuf_allocator and msdk_system_allocator). Otherwise, when using
pipeline "msdkh264dec ! vah264enc !" to transcode a not 16-bit-aligned
stream (i.e. 1920x1080), the transcoding will fail due to the size
mismatch issue between decoder pool and encoder pool.

When there is vpp scaling downstream, we need to make sure SFC is not
triggered because vpp may fall into passthrough mode which causes
the decoder negotiation to create src caps with vpp scaled width/height.
This patch includes bitstream's original size in first query with
downstream in gst_msdkdec_src_caps, which is the same for what we do for
color format in this query. This is to ensure SFC scaling starts to
work only when downstream directly asks for a different size instead of
through vpp.
Note that here SFC scaling follows the same behavior as msdkvpp:
if user only changes width or height, e.g. dec ! video/x-raw,width=xx !,
the height will be modified to the value which fits the original DAR.

The MSDK decoder's query function is not set and it just forwards
all query to its base class. We now need to answer the context
query correctly. Other VA plugins need to query the VA display.
By the way, the current query of "gst.msdk.Context" is also missing.
The other MSDK elements must depend on the bin's context message(
sent in context_propagate()) to set their MsdkContext correctly.

We now can use the gst va lib's display to create our MSDK context,
and use its helper functions to simplify our code. The improved logic
is like this:
1. Every MSDK element should use gst_msdk_context_find() to find a MSDK
context from neighbour. If valid, reuse it.
2. Use gst_msdk_ensure_new_context(). It will first query neighbours
about the GstVaDisplay, if found(e.g. some VA element is connected),
use gst_msdk_context_from_external_display() to create a MSDK context.
3. Then, creating the MSDK context from scratch. It creates both the
display and MSDK context.
