POOL meta just means that this specific instance of the meta is related to a
pool, a copy should be made when reasonable and the flag should just not be
set in the copy.
Add flags and enums to support multiview signalling in
GstVideoInfo and GstVideoFrame, and the caps serialisation and
deserialisation.

Add gst_video_multiview_* support API and GstVideoMultiviewMeta meta

This makes sure that the element is in the same state before start() is called
the very first time and every future call after the element was used already.
Also it ensure that we always have a clean state before start(), cleaned the
same way in every case.
The stop() vfunc might mess with some of our fields we have just
reset, which could cause memory leaks or invalid state taken over
to later.
Also the stop() vfunc, or anything called until it from another thread,
might want to be able to use the fields that were just resetted and
become confused because of that.
In the decoder we already had a workaround for things like this happening,
this workaround is not needed anymore.
Refactor the encoder's caps query proxying function to a common place
and use it in the videodecoder to proxy downstream restrictions.
The new function is private to the gstvideo lib.

This was never reset when going from PAUSED->READY and resulted
in encoders being not reusable after EOS. They just rejected any
buffer because they received EOS in their previous life.
The flag wasn't used anywhere except for rejecting buffers after
EOS, and this is now handled by GstPad directly.
This prevent implementing allocation query, as the format need to be
known in order to determin the size and number of buffers needed.
Note: This may lead to few regressions that will need fixing
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732288
So that it avoids to send an allocation query twice.
One from an early call to gst_video_encoder_negotiate from a
subclass, then one from gst_video_encoder_allocate_output_frame.
Which means that previously gst_video_encoder_negotiate was not
clearing the GST_PAD_FLAG_NEED_RECONFIGURE even on success.

The subclass will be called with set_format() and there it can drain
if necessary and reset whatever is necessary. This is the same behaviour
as for the video decoder.
We have no way of tell the caller of the exact error (e.g. if we're flushing),
so will have to wait until the caller uses API that returns a GstFlowReturn,
for example when pushing this buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700006
For this release the corresponding GstVideoCodecFrame before
pushing the buffer. The buffer will now be writable unless
the subclass still holds another reference to the buffer or
the frame.
