Qualcomm GPU works fine with current implementation now.
Noticeable difference between when it was disabled and current
d3d11 implementation is that we now support GstD3D11Memory
pool, so there will be no more frequent re-binding decoder surface anymore.

By this commit, following formats will be newly supported by d3d11 elements
* Y444_{8, 12, 16}LE formats:
Similar to other planar formats. Such Y444 variants are not supported
by Direct3D11 natively, but we can simply map each plane by
using R8 and/or R16 texture.
* P012_LE:
It is not different from P016_LE, but defining P012 and P016 separately
for more explicit signalling. Note that DXVA uses P016 texture
for 12bits encoded bitstreams.
* GRAY:
This format is required for some codecs (e.g., AV1) if monochrome
is supported
* 4:2:0 planar 12bits (I420_12LE) and 4:2:2 planar 8, 10, 12bits
formats (Y42B, I422_10LE, and I422_12LE)

Before creating output duplication interface, call SetThreadDesktop()
with HDESK of the current input desktop in case a desktop switch has
occurred.
This allows d3d11desktopdupsrc to capture Windows User Account Control
(UAC) prompts, which appear on a separate secure desktop. Otherwise
IDXGIOutput1::DuplicateOutput() will return E_ACCESSDENIED and the
element won't produce any frames as long as the UAC screen is active.
Note that in order to access secure desktop the application still has to
run at LOCAL_SYSTEM privileges. For GStreamer applications running with
regular user privileges this change has no effect.

Enable zero-copy if downstream proposed pool and therefore decoder
can know the amount of buffer required by downstream.
Otherwise decoder will copy when our DPB pool has no sufficient
buffers for later decoding operation.

Major changes:
* GstD3D11Allocator: This allocator is now device-independent object
which can allocate GstD3D11Memory object for any GstD3D11Device.
User can get this object via gst_allocator_find(GST_D3D11_MEMORY_NAME)
* GstD3D11PoolAllocator: A new allocator implementation for texture pool.
From now on GstD3D11BufferPool will make use of this memory pool allocator
to avoid frequent texture reallocation. That usually happens because
of buffer copy (gst_buffer_make_writable for example)
In addition to that, GstD3D11BufferPool will provide GstBuffer with
GstVideoMeta, because CPU access to a GstD3D11Memory without GstVideoMeta
is almost impossible since GPU drivers needs padding for stride alignment.

We've been doing retry with 1ms sleep if DecoderBeginFrame()
returned E_PENDING which means application should call
DecoderBeginFrame() again because GPU is busy.
The 1ms sleep() during retry would result in usually about 15ms delay
in reality because of bad clock precision on Windows.
To improve throughput performance, this commit will enable
high precision clock only for NVIDIA platform since
DecoderBeginFrame() call on the other GPU vendors seems to
succeed without retry.

For reverse playback, we are always copying decoded
frame to downstream buffer. So the pool size can be
and need to be large enough.
In case that forward playback, however, we need to restrict
the max pool size for performance reason. Otherwise decoder
will keep copying decoded texture to downstream buffer pool
if decoding is faster than downstream throughput
performance and also there are queue element between them.

Decoder might be able to copy decoded texture to the other buffer pool
during playback depending on context. In that case, copied one
has no D3D11_BIND_DECODER bind flag.
If we used ID3D11VideoProcessor previously for decoder texture,
and incoming texture supports ID3D11VideoProcessor as well even if it has no
D3D11_BIND_DECODER flag (having D3D11_BIND_RENDER_TARGET for example),
allow zero-copying instead of using our fallback texture.
Frequent conversion tool change (between ID3D11VideoProcessor and generic shader)
might result in inconsistent image quality.
