1. Removes the verification if the internal encoder is not opened
yet to allow the property setting.
2. And toggles on the base class' reconf flag for each property
variable that can be modified at run time.
3. Mark those modifiable properties as mutable while playing.
Currently the run-time modifiable properties are:
qpi, qpp, qpb, bitrate, target percentage, target usage and rate control
Other properties can be enabled too, but they need testing.

Adds an internal function reset() which drains the internal queues and
calls the reconfig() vmethod.
This reset() method is called inconditionally at set_format() and in
handle_frame() if the instance's reconf flag is enabled.

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have
changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

This method will return the caps configured in the reconstruct buffer
pool, and its maxium number of buffers to allocate.
The caps are needed later to know if the internal encoder has to be
reopened if the stream properties change.

In fact, all the h264 bit writer have byte aligned output except
the slice header. So we change the API from bit size in unit to
byte size, which is easy to use. For slice header, we add a extra
"trail_bits_num" to return the unaligned bits number.

Handle when encoder doesn't support rate control, which is set as
VA_RC_NONE, and if the set rate control mode is not supported by the
GStreamer element, the element configuration fails.
Also it logs out max and target bitrate.

The entrypoint is set when the encoder helper is constructed,
nonetheless it was also passed as parameter when opening. That's
buggy.
In order to simplify the code, the entrypoint at construction is
honored.
But gst_va_encoder_has_profile_and_entrypoint() now doesn't rely in
the internal list of profiles since it only contains those that
belongs to codec and entrypoint, thus it queries directly the VA
driver.

The AV1 support multi spatial layers within one TU with different
resolutions, and only the highest spatial layer need to be output.
For example, there are two spatial layer, base level is 800x600
and higher level is 1920x1080. We need to decode both because the
higher level needs base layer as reference, but we only need to output
1920x1080 frames here.
The current manner always renegotiates the caps once we detect the
current picture resolution changes, so we renegotiate again and
again between different layers. That's a big waste and has very
low performance. We now only do the renegotiation for the highest
output layer. For other non output layers, we just keep a internal
buffer pool which is big enough to handle the surface allocation.

The current handle_frame() does not return the real error that happens
in decode_scan and decode_frame, which makes the pipeline continue with
the error and may trigger asserting later.
We also return the error when decode_quant_table or decode_huffman_table
fails.
