VA decoders implementation has been verified from 1.18 through 1.22
development cycles and also via the Fluster test framework. Similar
to other cases, we can prefer hardware over software in most cases.
At the same time, GStreamer-VAAPI decoders are demoted to NONE to
avoid collisions. The first step to their deprecation.

According to libva API description, cu_qp_delta in VAConfigAttribValEncHEVCFeatures
is supposed to be used as a flag not the value of depth. And if flag enabled,
diff_cu_qp_delta_depth should be decided by log2_diff_max_min_luma_coding_block_size.

The current way of using gst_video_info_set_format() will change all
fields of the GstVideoInfo. We only need to change its format, stride
and offset fields.
In order to keep the consistency with th common drm API, we rename the
gst_va_video_info_from_dma_info() into gst_va_dma_drm_info_to_video_info().

The current way only selects the best video format from the first
structure of the caps. The caps like:
video/x-raw(memory:VAMemory),drm-format=(string)NV12; \
video/x-raw(memory:VAMemory),format=(string){ NV12, Y210 }
Will just choose NV12 as the result, even the bitstream is 10 bits.

The current way of using parent's copy_metadata() virtual function will
selectively filter out some meta such as crop meta. That virtual function
should be used when copying input buffer's meta data into output buffer,
not suitable when importing the input buffer.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/4887>
When the input buffer has crop meta, and we need to do copy, we
should consider the uncropped video size and copy the full size
of video memory.
The video meta in this case should contain the full uncropped
resolution info. We can use it to create full size va buffers.

The VA has its internal video format mapping(because different drivers may
have different interpretation for the same format), so we should convert the
info in GstVideoInfoDmaDrm into the according video info based on that mapping.

The devices list returned by g_udev_client_query_by_subsystem() may
contain udev devices in disorder path name. For example, on some
platform it may contain renderD129 before renderD128 device. This
will cause we register wrong va plugin name. In this case, the
renderD129 will be registered as default plugins such as vah265dec,
while the renderD128 will be registered as varenderD128h265dec.
This conflicts with the non-udev version of gst_va_device_find_devices().

In the same spirit of libva-win32 elements this patch shows the driver of each
element in gst-inspect, giving more information to the user. This driver
description is parsed from vaQueryVendorString from mesa and intel drivers,
while copied as is for others. Also appends the render node for multi gpu
systems.
Fixes#2349

Otherwise application would not be able to know matching element
for wanted device. Typical use case of the read-only device path
(DXGI Adapter LUID, CUDA device index, etc) property is that
application enumerates physical devices and then selects matching
GStreamer element (in null state) via device path property.

The VA API has not defined the scaling list entries for U/V planes
for the 4:4:4 stream. In fact, we do not meet the 4:4:4 format output
for H264 so far, and scaling list is not used frequently, so we just
print out some warning and ignore these scaling list values.

The VAAPI vaQueryVideoProcPipelineCaps() requires the context as the
parameter. So far, we always pass VA_INVALID_ID and it can succeed.
But the API does not say that and in theory, a valid context is required.
Now the new platform really needs a valid context and so we have to
delay that query until the context is created.
