The support for buffer exports in VA-API was added in version 0.36. These
interfaces are for interop with EGL, OpenCL, etc.
GStreamer-VAAPI uses it for a dmabuf memory allocator. Though, gstreamer-vaapi
has to support VA-API versions ranging from 0.30.4, which doesn't support it.
This patch guards all the buffer exports handling (and dmabuf allocator) if
the detected VA-API version is below 0.36.

Add gst_vaapi_surface_new_from_buffer_proxy() helper function to
create a VA surface from an external buffer provided throug the
new GstVaapiBufferProxy object.
Add new gst_vaapi_surface_new_full() helper function that allocates
VA surface from a GstVideoInfo template in argument. Additional flags
may include ways to
- allocate linear storage (GST_VAAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_LINEAR_STORAGE) ;
- allocate with fixed strides (GST_VAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_STRIDES) ;
- allocate with fixed offsets (GST_VAAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_OFFSETS).
Move GstVideoOverlayComposition handling to separate source files.
This helps keeing GstVaapiContext core implementation to the bare
minimal, i.e. simpy helpers to create a VA context and handle pool
of associated VA surfaces.
Fix formts for various GST_DEBUG et al. invocations. More precisely,
make size_t arguments use the %zu format specifier accordingly; force
XID formats to be a 32-bit unsigned integer; and fix the format used
for gst_vaapi_create_surface_with_format() error cases since we have
been using strings nowadays.
Don't expose functions that reference a GstVaapiImageRaw, those are
meant to be internal only for implementing subpictures sync. Also add
a few private definitions to avoid functions calls for retrieving
image size and format information.
Fix new internal video format API, based on GstVideoFormat, to not
clobber with system symbols. So replace the gst_video_format_* prefix
with gst_vaapi_video_format_ prefix, even if the format type remains
GstVideoFormat.
If a VA surface was allocated with the chroma-format interface, try to
determine the underlying pixel format on gst_vaapi_surface_get_format(),
or return GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_ENCODED if this is not a supported operation.
Make it possible to create VA surfaces with a specific pixel format.
This is a new capability brought in by VA-API >= 0.34.0. If that
capability is not built-in (e.g. using VA-API < 0.34.0), then
gst_vaapi_surface_new_with_format() will return NULL.
Add new chroma formats available with VA-API >= 0.34.0. In particular,
this includes "RGB" chroma formats, and more YUV subsampled formats.
Also add a new from_GstVaapiChromaType() helper function to convert
libgstvaapi chroma type to VA chroma format.
Add helper macros to retrieve the VA surface information like size
(width, height) or chroma type. This is a micro-optimization to avoid
useless function calls and NULL pointer re-checks in internal routines.
Break the circular references between GstVaapiContext and its children
GstVaapiSurfaces. Since the VA surfaces held an extra reference to the
context, which holds a reference to its VA surfaces, then none of those
were released.
How does this impact support for subpictures?
The only situation when the parent context needs to disappear is when
it is replaced with another one because of a resolution change in the
video stream for instance, or a normal destroy. In this case, it does
not really matter to apply subpictures to the peer surfaces since they
are either gone, or those that are left in the pipe can probably bear
a reinstantiation of the subpictures for it.
So, parent_context is set to NULL when the parent context is destroyed,
other VA surfaces can still get subpictures attached to them, individually
not as a whole. i.e. subpictures for surface S1 will be created from
active composition buffers and associated to S1, subpictures for S2 will
be created from the next active composition buffers, etc. We don't try
to cache the subpictures in those cases (pending surfaces until EOS
is reached, or pending surfaces until new surfaces matching new VA context
get to be used instead).
Drop obsolete GST_VAAPI_IS_xxx() helper macros since we are no longer
deriving from GObject and so those were only checking for whether the
argument was NULL or not. This is now irrelevant, and even confusing
to some extent, because we no longer have type checking.
Note: this incurs more type checking (review) but the libgstvaapi is
rather small, so this is manageable.
Add the necessary helpers in GstVaapiDisplay to determine whether subpictures
with global alpha are supported or not. Also add accessors in GstVaapiSubpicture
to address this feature.

This is a preferred thread-safe version. Also add an inline version of
g_clear_object() if compiling with glib < 2.28.

This helper resets the subpictures to reflect the current composition
layers provided with the buffers.
