A video decoder can now receive subframes and start decoding
instead of waiting for the full frame to be complete.
Subframe support will reduce latency as described in the
video encoder base class.
A unit test illustrating this API is available in
tests/check/libs/videodecoder.c.

This allows subclasses that notice missing reference frames to request a
new sync point to allow seamless decoding again. While doing so the
subclass can also signal whether it wants a) all following input frames
until the sync point to be discarded or b) all output frames until the
sync point to be marked as corrupt.
Sending of force-keyunit events for this can be throttled by the
application via the "min-force-keyunit-interval" property.
This replaces custom behaviour for the same in various decoders, for
example openh264dec.

If the first frame(s) at the very beginning or after a flush are not a
sync point then the base class would discard them before passing them to
the subclass.
This also fixes the previously broken distance_from_sync handling: it
was never reset at sync points.

Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means we
no longer need the macro there, but for most types in base/gst-libs we
don't want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it
is (and use the `#ifdef` instead).
Add a variant of gst_video_decoder_set_output_state() that allows the user
to pass an interlacing mode as well. This is needed to ensure that
gst_video_info_set_interlaced_format() is used instead so that
GstVideoInfo.size is correctly initialized.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
It adds a third argument to pass GstBufferPoolAcquireParams
to gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer.
If a user subclasses GstBufferPoolAcquireParams, this allows to
pass an updated param to the underlying buffer pool at each
gst_video_decoder_allocate_output_frame_with_params call.

Apparently I forgot how gobject works, there is no need to expose
it directly as one can call it from the parent_class pointer
This reverts commit ea9b6a7e3c.
Add gst_video_decoder_set_use_default_pad_acceptcaps() to allow
subclasses to make videodecoder use the default pad acceptcaps
handling instead of resorting to the caps query that is, usually,
less efficient and unecessary
API: gst_video_decoder_set_use_default_pad_acceptcaps
Subclasses can use it to select what queries they want to handle
and forward the rest to the default handling function.
API: gst_video_decoder_sink_query_default

The default implementation copies all metadata without tags, and metadata
with only the video tag. Same behaviour as in GstVideoFilter.
This currently does not work if the ::parse() vfunc is implemented as all
metas are getting lost inside GstAdapter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742385
Allows subclasses to do custom caps query replies.
Also exposes the standard caps query handler so subclasses can just
extend on top of it instead of reimplementing the caps query proxying.

Reset last_timestamp_out when applying the output segment
change, to avoid decoder confusion over new timestamp timelines when
a seamless segment change happens.
Move some locks/unlocks to later when they're actually needed.

... so subclasses can release a frame all the way (also from frame list)
without having to pass through _finish_frame or _drop_frame.
The latter may not be applicable, or may or may not have already
been called for the frame in question.

And only return the proportion. The earliest time already can be
retrieved from get_max_decode_time() and by renaming we allow this
to be more extensible in the future.
Add a getter for the QoS proportion and earliest_time to help
subclasses do better estimations based on the proportion.
API: gst_video_decoder_get_qos_info()

Sometimes the decoder would need to use the pool or the allocator for
something else than just allocating output buffers. For example, the querying
for different parameters, such as asking for a bigger number of buffers to
allocate in the pool.
This patch expose a two getters accessors: one for the buffer pool and the
other for the memory allocator.
