Instead of recalculating the miscellaneous buffer parameters for
every buffer, it is only done once, when the encoder is configured.
And for every buffer, the same structures are just copied.

This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.
It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.
I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.

According to the VA documentation:
The framerate is specified as a number of frames per second,
as a fraction. The denominator of the fraction is given in
the top half (the high two bytes) of the framerate field, and
the numerator is given in the bottom half (the low two bytes).
For example, if framerate is set to (100 << 16 | 750), this is
750 / 100, hence 7.5fps.
If the denominator is zero (the high two bytes are both zero)
then it takes the value one instead, so the framerate is just
the integer in the low 2 bytes.
This patch fixes the the framerate calculation in vp8 encoder
according to this.

Move frame-rate parameter from ensure_misc_params() to
ensure_contro_rate_param() since it only has meaning when the
control rate is either VBR or CBR.

Move the Hypothetical Reference Decoder (HRD) parameter, from
ensure_misc_params() to ensure_control_rate_params(), since it
only shall be defined when the control rate is either VBR or CBR.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
Instead of filling the control rate param in ensure_misc_params(),
this patch refactor it out, as a first step to merge the same code
for all the encoders.

This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:
The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
consumption.
The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.
Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".
All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

This patch enables the Constant BitRate encoding mode in VP8 encoder.
Basically it adds the configuration parameters required by libva to
CBR enconding.

We are not getting enough compression for some streams and
encoded frame end up with more size than allocated.
Assuming a compression ratio of 4, which should be good enough
for holding the frames.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771528
The approximation of 4 times compression ratio will not
work in all cases. Especially when enabling I frames.
Provide large enough size for coded-buffer creation.
