Instead of registering the whole list of formats associated to a chroma, our
experience with GstVA tells that entry points only handles one color format per
supported chroma, and they are reflected in the static table.
This avoids exposing unsupported color formats for negotiation.

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.

Given the amount of complains about artifacts when negotiating dmabuf
given incompatible drm-formats, and that there's no enough bandwidth
for a proper and quick fix in gstreamer-vaapi, this patch disables,
from decoders and postprocessor, the DMABuf caps feature.
For those who needs DMABuf can use the va elements in -bad, increasing
their ranking for autoplugging by using the environment variable
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=vah264dec:MAX, for example.
This can be considered a first step to the deprecation of
gstreamer-vaapi in favor of the va plugin in -bad.

Apparently mesa 22.3.0 has updated the egl headers, and eglplatform.h now
contains commit
3670d645f4
after which xlib headers don't get included by default anymore but are
dependent upon whether USE_X11 was defined.
This breaks headless builds of gstreamer-vaapi because we always define
an internal define USE_X11 as either 1 or 0.
Change these defines to GST_VAAPI_USE_XYZ instead to avoid this.

Nouveau driver currently only exposes postproc entry. But
vaapidecodebin is registered independent if there are decoders or not,
exposing a segmentation fault.
This patch removes the encoder/decoder/codec arrays if no entries are
found, and if no decoders are found vaapidecodebin is not
registered. Also for vaapipostproc if no postproc entry is found.
Also, if general decoder, used by vaapidecodebin, doesn't have a sink
pad string, don't register the glib type.

Often, users will need to scale inputs (e.g.
with vaapipostproc) before they are submitted
to the vaapioverlay. However, this results in
multiple VPP passes/operations in the pipeline
which creates unnecessary process overhead.
This change allows for inputs to be submitted
at original scale to vaapioverlay with per-sinkpad
scale dimensions specified so they can be scaled
and blended/composited in a single VPP pass/operation
to avoid the unnecessary process overhead.

Platform wise, is not possible, as far as I known, to have Wayland
without kernel's DRM. Though, it's possible to configure
gstreamer-vaapi without DRM but Wayland support, with the enhanced
handling of dmabuf in vaapisink for Wayland, vaapisink will always
fail. Given both issues, configuration with no DRM but Wayland, makes
things more complex, and a simpler approach is to refuse that
configuration.
This patch disables Wayland support if there isn't DRM support. Also,
it disables the display test for Wayland, relying only on DRM and
X11.

vaapidecode is used in vaapidecodebin and it exposes all the
theoretically supported caps, but that slows down autoplug. With this
autplug is negotiated faster, giving more option to decodebin to select
other decoder.
