For audio we copy metas that have no tags at all, or that only have the
"audio" and/or "audio-channels" tag. Audio codecs don't change the
audio aspect of the stream and in almost all cases don't change the
number of channels. They might however change the sample rate (e.g.
Opus). Subclasses that change the number of channels will have to
override ::transform_meta() accordingly.
For video we copy metas that have no tags at all, or that only have the
"video" and/or "video-size" and/or "video-orientation" tag. Video codecs
don't change the "video" aspect of the stream and in almost all cases
don't change the resolution or orientation. Subclasses that rescale or
change the orientation will have to override ::transform_meta()
accordingly.

Previously we only handled one event at a time, which could lead to the
following two suboptimal situations:
- frame 0 at 20ms, frame 1 at 40ms and two force-keyunit events at 10ms
and 15ms. We would create a new keyframe for both of the frames.
- 100 force-keyunit events with running-time NONE would cause all
following 100 frames to be made into a keyframe.

Also not optimal but at least simplifies the code a bit and doesn't
require g_list_length() and g_list_append() in a few places.
For 2.0 there are some more candidates to change but unfortunately
they're currently part of the API.

This marker is optional, its name refer to RTP marker bit. This mark can
be use to reduce latency in various use cases. With the split between
finish_frame() and finish_subframe() we will now be able to identitfy
the last subframe with no latency.
In order to detail the use of GST_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER in a video
use case, the flag GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER has been introduced
with a proper documentation clarifying marker's role.
Introduce a new API so encoders can split the encoding in subframes.
This can be useful to reduce the overall latency as we no longer need to
wait for the full frame to be encoded to start decoding or sending it.
... if subclass didn't update values. Note that the mastering-display-info
and content-light-level might be updated by user defined value (e.g., encoding option).
Release STREAM_LOCK before calling gst_pad_push() and take it
back afterward so that upstream isn't blocked while output
buffer is being pushed downstream.

The lock is already taken before calling the flush method and can lead to
deadlock for some encoders that need to take the same lock from another
thread while flushing

It allows encoders to detect and drop input frames which are already
late to increase the chance of the pipeline to catch up.
The QoS logic and code is directly copied from gstvideodecoder.c.

Since the allocation query caps contains memory size and the pad's caps
contains the display size, a video encoder or decoder might need to allocate
a different frame size than the size negotiated in the caps.
This patch splits this logic distinction for videodecoder and videoencoder.
The user if needs a different allocation caps, should set the allocation_caps
in the GstVideoCodecState before calling negotiate() vmethod. Otherwise the
allocation_caps will be the same as the caps set in the src pad.

POOL meta just means that this specific instance of the meta is related to a
pool, a copy should be made when reasonable and the flag should just not be
set in the copy.
