Before creating output duplication interface, call SetThreadDesktop()
with HDESK of the current input desktop in case a desktop switch has
occurred.
This allows d3d11desktopdupsrc to capture Windows User Account Control
(UAC) prompts, which appear on a separate secure desktop. Otherwise
IDXGIOutput1::DuplicateOutput() will return E_ACCESSDENIED and the
element won't produce any frames as long as the UAC screen is active.
Note that in order to access secure desktop the application still has to
run at LOCAL_SYSTEM privileges. For GStreamer applications running with
regular user privileges this change has no effect.

Enable zero-copy if downstream proposed pool and therefore decoder
can know the amount of buffer required by downstream.
Otherwise decoder will copy when our DPB pool has no sufficient
buffers for later decoding operation.

Major changes:
* GstD3D11Allocator: This allocator is now device-independent object
which can allocate GstD3D11Memory object for any GstD3D11Device.
User can get this object via gst_allocator_find(GST_D3D11_MEMORY_NAME)
* GstD3D11PoolAllocator: A new allocator implementation for texture pool.
From now on GstD3D11BufferPool will make use of this memory pool allocator
to avoid frequent texture reallocation. That usually happens because
of buffer copy (gst_buffer_make_writable for example)
In addition to that, GstD3D11BufferPool will provide GstBuffer with
GstVideoMeta, because CPU access to a GstD3D11Memory without GstVideoMeta
is almost impossible since GPU drivers needs padding for stride alignment.

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.

For reverse playback, we are always copying decoded
frame to downstream buffer. So the pool size can be
and need to be large enough.
In case that forward playback, however, we need to restrict
the max pool size for performance reason. Otherwise decoder
will keep copying decoded texture to downstream buffer pool
if decoding is faster than downstream throughput
performance and also there are queue element between them.

Decoder might be able to copy decoded texture to the other buffer pool
during playback depending on context. In that case, copied one
has no D3D11_BIND_DECODER bind flag.
If we used ID3D11VideoProcessor previously for decoder texture,
and incoming texture supports ID3D11VideoProcessor as well even if it has no
D3D11_BIND_DECODER flag (having D3D11_BIND_RENDER_TARGET for example),
allow zero-copying instead of using our fallback texture.
Frequent conversion tool change (between ID3D11VideoProcessor and generic shader)
might result in inconsistent image quality.

... instead of QueryInterface-ing per elements. Note that
ID3D11VideoDevice and ID3D11VideoContext objects might not be available
if device doesn't support video interface.
So GstD3D11Device object will create those objects only when requested.

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.

... instead of the largest we ever seen.
Note that d3d11h264dec element holds previously configured DPB size
for later decoder object re-open decision.
This is to fix below case:
1) Initial SPS, required DPB size is 6
- decoder object is opened with DPB size 6
- max_dpb_size is now 6
2) SPS update with resolution change, required DPB size is 1
- decoder object is re-opened with DPB size 1
- max_dpb_size should be updated to 1, but it didn't happen (BUG)
3) SPS update without resolution change, only required DPB size is updated to 6
- decoder object should be re-opened but didn't happen
because we didn't update max_dpb_size at 2).

To convert decoded texture into other format, downstream would use
video processor instead of shader. In order for downstream to
be able to use video processor even if we copied decoded texture
into downstream pool, we should set this bind flag. Otherwise,
downstream would keep switching video processor and shader
to convert format which would result in inconsistent image quality.
