Output texture of d3d11 decoder cannot have the bind flag
D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE (meaning that it cannot be used for shader
input resource). So d3d11convert (and it's subclasses) was copying
texture into another internal texture to use d3d11 shader.
It's obviously overhead and we can avoid texture copy for
colorspace conversion or resizing via ID3D11VideoProcessor
as it supports decoder output texture.
This commit would be a visible optimization for d3d11 decoder with
d3d11compositor use case because we can avoid texture copy per frame.

GstMemory object could be disposed if GstBuffer is not allocated
by GstD3D11BufferPool such as via gst_buffer_copy() and/or
gst_buffer_make_writable(). So attaching qdata on GstMemory
object would cause unnecessary view alloc/free.
By using view pool which is implemented in GstD3D11Allocator,
we can avoid redundant view alloc/free.

VA-API needs AC and DC quant scales for both luma and chroma, and the loop
filter level for current frame, but these values are not available outside
the private GstVp9Parser structure. And these values may change from frame
to frame, so they are picture specific.
This patch add GstVp9Segmentation structure array to GstVp9Picture to expose
it to derived classes. This approach is safer than passing the parser at
picture handling flow.
Also, this patch, in order to solve Documentation CI, mark as private the
GstVp9Picture structure.

In order to know the chroma format, besides profile, subsampling_x and
subsampling_y are needed (Spec 7.2.2 Color config semantics). These values are
in GstVp9Parser but not in GstVp9Framehdr.
Also, bit_depth is available in parser but not frame header. Evenmore, those
values are copied to picture structure later.
In case of VA-API, to configure the pipeline, it is require to know the chroma
format and depth.
It is possible to know chroma and depth through caps coming from vp9parser, but
it requires string parsing. It would be less error prone to get these values
through the parser structure at new_sequence() virtual method.

Add new video composition element which is equivalent to compositor
and glvideomixer elements. When d3d11 decoder elements are used,
d3d11compositor can do efficient graphics memory handling
(zero copying or at least copying memory on GPU memory space).

New d3d11colorconvert and d3d11scale elements will perform only
colorspace conversion and rescale, respectively. Those new elements
would be useful when only colorspace conversion or rescale is required
and the other part should be done by another elements.

Add util functions for runtime CUDA kernel source compilation
using NVRTC library. Like other nvcodec dependent libraries,
NVRTC library will be loaded via g_module_open.
Note that the NVRTC library naming is not g_module_open friendly
on Windows.
(i.e., nvrtc64_{CUDA major version}{CUDA minor version}.dll).
So users can specify the dll name using GST_NVCODEC_NVRTC_LIBNAME
environment.

Introducing CUDA buffer pool with generic CUDA memory support.
Likewise GL memory, any elements which are able to access CUDA device
memory directly can map this CUDA memory without upload/download
overhead via the "GST_MAP_CUDA" map flag.
Also usual GstMemory map/unmap is also possible with internal staging memory.
For staging, CUDA Host allocated memory is used (see CuMemAllocHost API).
The memory is allowing system access but has lower overhead
during GPU upload/download than normal system memory.
