We've been doing retry with 1ms sleep if DecoderBeginFrame()
returned E_PENDING which means application should call
DecoderBeginFrame() again because GPU is busy.
The 1ms sleep() during retry would result in usually about 15ms delay
in reality because of bad clock precision on Windows.
To improve throughput performance, this commit will enable
high precision clock only for NVIDIA platform since
DecoderBeginFrame() call on the other GPU vendors seems to
succeed without retry.

Direct3D11 objects are COM, and most COM C APIs are verbose
(C++ is a little better). So, by using C++ APIs, we can make code
shorter and more readable.
Moreover, "ComPtr" helper class (which is C++ only) can be
utilized, that is very helpful for avoiding error-prone COM refcounting
issue/leak.

Add a new element d3d11deinterlace to support deinterlacing.
Similar to d3d11videosink and d3d11compositor, this element is
a wrapper bin of set of child elements including helpful
conversion elements (upload/download and color convert)
to make this element configurable between non-d3d11 elements.

Add a way to support drawing on application's texture instead of
usual window handle.
To make use of this new feature, application should follow below step.
1) Enable this feature by using "draw-on-shared-texture" property
2) Watch "begin-draw" signal
3) On "begin-draw" signal handler, application can request drawing
by using "draw" signal action. Note that "draw" signal action
should be happen before "begin-draw" signal handler is returned
NOTE 1) For texture sharing, creating a texture with
D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED_KEYEDMUTEX flag is strongly recommend
if possible because we cannot ensure sync a texture
which was created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED
and it would cause glitch with ID3D11VideoProcessor use case.
NOTE 2) Direct9Ex doesn't support texture sharing which was
created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED_KEYEDMUTEX. In other words,
D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED is the only option for Direct3D11/Direct9Ex interop.
NOTE 3) Because of missing synchronization around ID3D11VideoProcessor,
If shared texture was created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED,
d3d11videosink might use fallback texture to convert DXVA texture
to normal Direct3D texture. Then converted texture will be
copied to user-provided shared texture.
* Why not use generic appsink approach?
In order for application to be able to store video data
which was produced by GStreamer in application's own texture,
there would be two possible approaches,
one is copying our texture into application's own texture,
and the other is drawing on application's own texture directly.
The former (appsink way) cannot be a zero-copy by nature.
In order to support zero-copy processing, we need to draw on
application's own texture directly.
For example, assume that application wants RGBA texture.
Then we can imagine following case.
"d3d11h264dec ! d3d11convert ! video/x-raw(memory:D3D11Memory),format=RGBA ! appsink"
^
|_ allocate new Direct3D texture for RGBA format
In above case, d3d11convert will allocate new texture(s) for RGBA format
and then application will copy again the our RGBA texutre into
application's own texture. One texture allocation plus per frame GPU copy will hanppen
in that case therefore.
Moreover, in order for application to be able to access
our texture, we need to allocate texture with additional flags for
application's Direct3D11 device to be able to read texture data.
That would be another implementation burden on our side
But with this MR, we can configure pipeline in this way
"d3d11h264dec ! d3d11videosink".
In that way, we can save at least one texture allocation and
per frame texutre copy since d3d11videosink will convert incoming texture
into application's texture format directly without copy.
* What if we expose texture without conversion and application does
conversion by itself?
As mentioned above, for application to be able to access our texture
from application's Direct3D11 device, we need to allocate texture
in a special form. But in some case, that might not be possible.
Also, if a texture belongs to decoder DPB, exposing such texture
to application is unsafe and usual Direct3D11 shader cannot handle
such texture. To convert format, ID3D11VideoProcessor API needs to
be used but that would be a implementation burden for application.

Move d3d11 device, memory, buffer pool and minimal method
to gst-libs so that other plugins can access d3d11 resource.
Since Direct3D is primary graphics API on Windows, we need
this infrastructure for various plugins can share GPU resource
without downloading GPU memory.
Note that this implementation is public only for -bad scope
for now.

Add a new video source element "d3d11desktopdupsrc" for capturing desktop image
via Desktop Duplication based on Microsoft's Desktop Duplication sample available at
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/master/Samples/DXGIDesktopDuplication
This element is expected to be a replacement of existing dxgiscreencapsrc
element in winscreencap plugin.
Currently this element can support (but dxgiscreencapsrc cannot)
- Copying captured D3D11 texture to output buffer without download
- Support desktop session transition
e.g., can capture desktop without error even in case that
"Lock desktop" and "Permission dialog"
- Multiple d3d11desktopdupsrc elements can capture the same monitor
Not yet implemented features
- Cropping rect is not implemented, but that can be handled by downstream
- Mult-monitor is not supported. But that is also can be implemented by
downstream element for example via multiple d3d11desktopdup elements
with d3d11compositor

Add a new property "render-stats" to allow rendering statistics
data on window for debugging and/or development purpose.
Text rendering will be accelerated by GPU since this implementation
uses Direct2D/DirectWrite API and Direct3D inter-op for minimal overhead.
Specifically, text data will be rendered on swapchain backbuffer
directly without any copy/allocation of extra texture.

Add new video composition element which is equivalent to compositor
and glvideomixer elements. When d3d11 decoder elements are used,
d3d11compositor can do efficient graphics memory handling
(zero copying or at least copying memory on GPU memory space).

We should directly check the values of the `debug` and `optimization`
options instead.
`get_option('buildtype')` will return `'custom'` for most combinations
of `-Doptimization` and `-Ddebug`, but those two will always be set
correctly if only `-Dbuildtype` is set. So we should look at those
options directly.
For the two-way mapping between `buildtype` and `optimization`
+ `debug`, see this table:
https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#build-type-options
This introduce a library which contains a set of base classes which
handles the parsing and the state tracking for the purpose of decoding
different CODECs. Currently H264, H265 and VP9 are supported. These
bases classes are used to decode with low level decoding API like DXVA,
NVDEC, VDPAU, VAAPI and V4L2 State Less decoders. The new library is
named gstreamer-codecs-1.0 / libgstcodecs.
* Create staging texture only when the CPU access is requested.
Note that we should avoid the CPU access to d3d11 memory as mush as possible.
Incoming d3d11upload and d3d11download will take this GPU memory upload/download.
* Upload/Download texture memory from/to staging only if it needed, similar to
GstGL PBO implementation.
* Define more dxgi formats for future usage (e.g., color conversion, dxva2 decoder).
Because I420_* formats are not supported formats by dxgi, each plane should
be handled likewise GstGL separately, but NV12/P10 formats might be supported ones.
So we decide the number of d3d11memory per GstBuffer for video memory depending on
OS version and dxgi format. For instance, if NV12 is supported by OS,
only one d3d11memory with DXGI_FORMAT_NV12 texture can be allocated by this commit.
One use case of such texture is DXVA. In case DXVA decoder, it might need to produce decoded data
to one DXGI_FORMAT_NV12 instead of seperate Y and UV planes.
Such behavior will be controlled via configuration of GstD3D11BufferPool and
default configuration is separate resources per plane.
Direct3D11 was shipped as part of Windows7 and it's obviously
primary graphics API on Windows.
This plugin includes HDR10 rendering if following requirements are satisfied
* IDXGISwapChain4::SetHDRMetaData is available (decleared in dxgi1_5.h)
* Display can support DXGI_COLOR_SPACE_RGB_FULL_G2084_NONE_P2020 color space
* Upstream provides 10 bitdepth format with smpte-st 2084 static metadata
