Avoid switch/case per frame for format decision and detect the format
only if where it could be changed. Note that, whenever encoder->input_state
is changed, gst_x264_enc_init_encoder() is called.

libx264 used to be built for one specific bit depth, and if we
wanted to support multiple bit depths we would have to dynamically
load the right .so from different paths. That has changed now, and
libx264 can include support for multiple depths in the same lib,
so we don't need to do the dlopen() dance any more. We'll keep
the vtable stuff around until we can drop support for older x264.

VUI(Video Usability Information) parameters should be set
according to the specification. However, some of the existing
hardware decoders refuse to decode in certain combinations of
the resolution and VUI parameters. To support the legacy
decoders, this patch provides 'insert-vui' to skip the settings.

LIBCDIO_VERSION_NUM was defined as e.g. 94 for 0.94 but is now defined
as 1 for 1.0. We had various checks for < 83, which of course succeeded
now although we are >= 0.83.
Fix this by checking for < 76 (0.76) too, as that is the minimum version
we currently support and everything < 76 is going to be >= 1.0.

Move creation of supported sink pads into class_init function
which is also the only place where they're used. Unref the
caps when no longer needed, the pad template will take its
own ref.

We have better replacements such as the mpg123 plugin.
The main reason to keep around mad was for 'freeform'
mp3 support, but mpg123 can handle those too nowadays.
Also, mad is GPL and has been unmaintained for years.

If the caps are interlaced, interlacing is always enabled on the
encoder. If the interlace-mode field is missing or if it's progressive,
the encoder uses the "interlaced" property.

x264 has to be compiled specifically for a target bit depth.
Distributions currently ship various libraries in their packages, with
different bit depths.
This change now allows to provide them all at configure time and have
the x264enc element dynamically switch between them based on the bit
depth of the input format.

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.
_stdint.h is generated by Autotools and we don't really need it. All
supported platforms now ship with stdint.h. The only stickler was MSVC,
and since Visual Studio 2015 it also ships stdint.h now.
Avoid compiler warnings "‘foo’ may be used uninitialized in this
function" when building with -O3 by checking the return bool value
of format conversion function.
