The vp9decoder class does not implement the ->parse() virtual function,
and we always need to add the vp9parse element before it. So we should
set_needs_format of the decoder to TRUE, then if no parse before it, it
can fail with a "not-negotiated" error early, rather than go on and
generate unexpected error.

In theory, input caps can be updated anytime at non-keyframe or
sequence boundary, such as HDR10 metadata, framerate, aspect-ratio
or so. Those information update might not trigger ::new_sequence()
or subclass may ignore the changes.
By this commit, input state change will be tracked by baseclass
and subclass will be able to know the non-decoding-essential
update by checking the codec specific picture struct
on ::output_picture()

Make all codecs consistent so that subclass can know additional DPB
size requirement depending on render-delay configuration regardless
of codec. Note that render-delay feature is not implemented for AV1
yet but it's planned.
Also, consider new_sequence() is mandatory requirement, not optional

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the
picture will populate the DPB if it is a key-frame. To ensure this, remove the
default implementation.

Rework gstvp9{decoder|statefulparser} to optionally parse compressed headers.
The information in these headers might be needed for accelerators
downstream, so optionally parse them if downstream requests it.

The GST_VIDEO_DECODER_ERROR() should be used only for robust/error-resilient
decoding purpose. Any other error codes such as not-negotiated or flushing
should be returned without modified for upstream to be able to handle
it immediately. (for example, application might want to try other
decoder element on not-negotiated)

Some decoding APIs support delayed output for performance reasons.
One example would be to request decoding for multiple frames and
then query for the oldest frame in the output queue.
This also increases throughput for transcoding and improves seek
performance when supported by the underlying backend.
Introduce support in the vp9 base class, so that backends that
support render delays can actually implement it.
