Make all codecs consistent so that subclass can know additional DPB
size requirement depending on render-delay configuration regardless
of codec. Note that render-delay feature is not implemented for AV1
yet but it's planned.
Also, consider new_sequence() is mandatory requirement, not optional

Adding new encoder elements nvd3d11{h264,h265}enc for Direct3D11
input support and re-written nvcuda{h264,h265}enc elements.
Newly writeen elements have some differences compared with old
nv{h264,h265}enc including non-backward compatible changes.
* RGBA is not a supported input format any more:
New elements will support only YUV formats to avoid implicit conversion
done by hardware. Ideally it should be done by upstream element
in order to have more control on it. Moreover, RGBA support can cause
redundant RGBA -> YUV conversion if multiple encoders are
used for the same RGBA input
* Subsampled planar format support is dropped:
I420 and YV12 format are not supported formats for Direct3D11.
Although it's supported in CUDA mode, it's not a hardware friendly
memory layout and it will waste GPU memory since UV planes
will have large padding due to the memory layout requirement of NVENC.
* GL support is dropped: Similar to the RGBA case,
GL support in encoder would be suboptimal if GL input is
used by multiple encoders, because each encoder will copy GL memory
into CUDA memory.
Upstream cudaupload element can be used for GL <-> CUDA
interop instead.
* No more pre-allocation of encoder input surfaces. New implementation
will use input CUDA memory without copy (zero-copy) or
will copy into a NVENC's input buffer struct in case of
system memory input.

On GstVideoDecoder::{drain,flush}, we send null packet with
CUVID_PKT_ENDOFSTREAM flag to drain out decoder. Which will
reset CUVID parser as well.
To continue decoding after the drain, the next input buffer
should include sequence headers otherwise CUVID parser will
not report any decodeable frame.

* Hide GstCudaMemory member variables
* Make GstCudaAllocator object GstCudaContext independent
* Set offset/stride of memory correctly via video meta
* Drop GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_VIDEO_ALIGNMENT support.
This implementation actually does not support custom alignment
because we allocate device memory via cuMemAllocPitch
of which alignment is almost uncontrollable

* cudaupload/download
- Specify only formats actually we can deal with
nvcodec elements, not all video formats
- Supports CUDA output for download and input for upload in order
to make passthrough possible, like other upload/download elements.
* cudabasetransform
- Reset conversion element if upstream CUDA memory
holds different CUDA context and the element can accept it.
This is the same behavior as corresponding d3d11 filter elements.

It's almost pointless and makes little sense as subclass might
want to modify refcount of the object or so. And all subclasses
are already casting them to non-const version as well.
In a general sense, we need to avoid passing refcounted object
with const qualifier.

boolean return value is not sufficient for representing the reason
of error in most cases. For instance, any errors around new_sequence()
would mean negotiation error, not just *ERROR*.
And some subclasses will allocate buffer/memory/surface on new_picture()
but it could be failed because of expected error, likely flushing
