Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice. So we should relax the
profile restriction for allowing the decoder to get connected with parser.

VPS is not mandatory, and need not check for its presence before setting
the caps. Because of the check, in streams which don't have VPS,
sticky event mishandling happens.

Don't use the apis in codec-utils to extract the profile,tier and level
syntax elements since it is wrong if there are emulation prevention
bytes existing in the byte-stream data.

In ISO/IEC 14496-15, the minimum size of a HEVCDecoderConfigurationRecord
(i.e., the contents of a hvcC box) is 23 bytes. However, the code in h265parse
checks that the size of this data is not less than 28 bytes, and it refuses to
accept caps if the check fails. The result is that standards-conformant streams
that don't carry any parameter sets in their hvcC boxes won't play.
