MSVC warns about this because it's a C++ compiler, and this actually
results in useful things such as the incorrect 'gboolean' return value
for functions that return GstFlowReturn, so let's do explicit
conversions to reduce the noise and increase its efficacy.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
The byte-stream to avc conversion did not consider NAL sizes bigger than 2^16,
multiple layers, multiple NALs per layer, and various other things. This
caused corrupted streams in higher bitrates and other circumstances.
Let's just forward byte-stream as generated by the encoder and let h264parse
handle conversion to avc if needed. That way we only have to keep around one
version of the conversion and don't have to fix it in multiple places.
As mentionned in release notes : Added new Sps/Pps strategies for real-time
video (replace the old setting variable 'bEnableSpsPpsIdAddition' with
'eSpsPpsIdStrategy')
This reverts commit 15394aa705.
The latest release (v1.1) does not have pkg-config support
yet, so this plugin won't be built with the latest release.
Cerbero uses the latest release, so this makes cerbero
builds fail, which expect the plugin to be built.
We can re-commit this once there's a release that includes
pkg-config support.
Otherwise e.g. videotestsrc ! openh264enc ! ... will drop every second frame
because otherwise the target bitrate can't be reached without loosing too
much quality.
As openh264 has no way to attach any IDs to input frames that we then get on
the output frames, we have to assume that the input has valid PTS. We just
take the frame with the oldest PTS, and if there is no PTS information we take
the one with the oldest DTS.
