MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.

We have the property "i-frames" to set the IDR interval in a
gop. Unfortunately MSDK HEVC encoder behaves bit differently
for IdrInterval field, IdrInteval == 1 indicate every
I-frame should be an IDR (which is IdrInterval == 0 for other codecs),
IdrInteval == 2 means every other I-frame is an IDR
(which is IdrInterval == 1 for other codecs) etc.
So we generalize the behaviour of property "i-frames" by
incrementing the value by one in each case (only for HEVC).

The base encoder common properties are not valid for
mjpeg encoder where there is no motion compensation or rate control.
Delaying the property installation on the base gobject
untill the subclass class_init get invoked.

The gst-msdk decoders prefer packetized streams as input
and in this case we can avoid unnecessary input bitstream copy
to mfxBitstream. This works fine for codecs like h264 where
we only support byte-stream with au alignment. Other format
conversions should be done thorugh parsers. But this won't work
for codecs like vc1 where we don't have an autoplugged parser.
Even the parser is not capable to do format conversions.
Packetizing through base decoders parse() routine will bring a
lot of uncecessary of complexities and codecparser libraray dependency.
So we just use an interal gst_adaper to keep track of bitstream
which is not consumed by msdk durig AsynchronusDecoding.
This adapter will get used only if subclass implementations
set the "is_packetized" to FALSE for msdk base encoder.

Adding Simple and Main profiles decode support.
Currently msdkvc1dec is not capable to handle the codec_data,
only instream headers are supported. Also msdk vc1 decoder
expecting instream with Sequence header as per SMPTE 421M Annex L.
Most of the decdoebin/playbin pipeline won't work with the above
constraints
because vc1parse is still not an autoplug element.
Only way to make mskdvc1dec work is by connecting a vc1parse
as an upstream element.

Use drm render node as the first choice of device node file.
Fall backs to use drm primary (/dev/dri/card[0-9])
if there is no render node available
Basic logic is inherited from gstreamer-vaapi, but using
gudev API rather than libudev directly.
Added gudev library as dependency for msdk.

1\ If downstream's pool is MSDK bufferpool,
2\ If there's shared GstMsdkContext in the pipeline,
a decoder decides to use video memory.
This policy should be improved to handle more cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
How to share/create GstMsdkcontext is the following:
- Search GstMsdkContext if there's in the pipeline.
- If found, check if it's decoder, encoder or vpp by job type.
- If it's same job type, it creates another instance of
GstMsdkContext
with joined-session.
- Otherwise just use the shared GstMsdkContext.
- If not found, just creates new instance of GstMsdkContext.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
According to the driver's instruction, if there are two or more encoders
or decoders in a process, the session should be joined by
MFXJoinSession.
To achieve this successfully by GstContext, this patch adds job type
specified if it's encoder, decoder or vpp.
If a msdk element gets to know if joining session is needed by the
shared context,
it should create another instance of GstContext with joined session,
which
is not shared.

1\ In decide_allocation, it makes its own msdk bufferpool.
- If downstream supports video meta, it just replace it with the msdk
bufferpool.
- If not, it uses the msdk bufferpool as a side pool, which will be
decoded into.
and will copy it to downstream's bufferpool.
2\ Decide if using video memory or system memory.
- This is not completed in this patch.
- It might be decided in update_src_caps.
- But tested for both system memory and video memory cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
1\ Proposes msdk bufferpool to upstream.
- If upstream has accepted the proposed msdk bufferpool,
encoder can get msdk surface from the buffer directly.
- If not, encoder get msdk surface its own msdk bufferpool
and copy from upstream's frame to the surface.
2\ Replace arrays of surfaces with msdk bufferpool.
3\ In case of using VPP, there should be another msdk bufferpool
with NV12 info so that it could convert first and encode.
Calls gst_msdk_set_frame_allocator and uses video memory only on linux.
and uses system memory on Windows until d3d allocator is implemented.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Implements 2 memory allocators:
1\ GstMsdkSystemAllocator: This will allocate system memory.
2\ GstMsdkVideoAllocator: This will allocate device memory depending
on the platform. (eg. VASurface)
Currently GstMsdkBufferPool uses video allocator currently by default
only on linux. On Windows, we should use system memory until d3d
allocator
is implemented.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Implements msdk frame allocator which is required from the driver.
Also makes these functions global so that GstMsdkAllocator could use
the allocated video memory later and couple with GstMsdkMemory.
GstMsdkContext keeps allocation information such as mfxFrameAllocRequest
and mfxFrameAllocResponse after allocation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Makes GstMsdkContext to be a descendant of GstObject so that
we could track the life-cycle of the session of the driver.
Also replaces MsdkContext with this one.
Keeps msdk_d3d.c alive for the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
If the driver requires more data, just unref the frame at the moment
then retreive/finish the frame after encoding is finished.
This also fixes a memory leak.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790312
Set the pts and dts on the frame that we receive from the msdk.
Also fix the inverted logic in setting sync points, previously we
were marking all frames as sync points except IDRs.

In some places a GST_FLOW_FLUSHING result was return as a FALSE
gboolean and then returned from a parent function as
GST_FLOW_ERROR. This prevented seeking from working.
