When the allocator is created, it stores the allocation caps. But sometimes
the "allocation caps" may be different from the "negotiation caps".
In this case, the allocator should store the negotiation caps since they
are the ones used for frame mapping with GstVideoMeta.
When vaapispostproc is used, this is not a problem since the element is assume
to resize. But when using a vaapi decoder only, with a software renderer, it
fails in this case.

Just as vaapipostproc, VA decoder's context can be queried to get the possible
raw formats, so, the src caps can negotiate the exact caps that the context
supports.
This patch ensures to get the formats, as filter does, available in the
decoder / encoder context.
The context fills up the array as soon it is created, otherwise the pipeline
could get stalled (perhaps this is a bug in my HSW backend).

The query of all the supported formats for a VA config were only used by the
postprocessor (vaapifilter). But, in order to enable the vaapidecoder to
negotiate a suitable raw format with downstream, we need to query these
formats against the decoder's config.
This patch is the first step: moves the code in filter's ensure_image() to a
generic gst_vaapi_get_surface_formats() in vaapiutils_core, so it can be
shared later by the decoder.

Since when the sink pad allocator is created, it is decided if the required
one is vaapi allocator or dmabuf allocator, there is no need to force its set
again.
When running gst-discoverer-1.0, in certain media, vaapipostroc is stopped
meanwhile it is transforming caps. The problem is that stop() calls
gst_vaapi_plugin_base_close(), which nullifies the element's va display, but
the va display is used in tranform_caps() when it is extracting the possible
format conversions. This display disappearing generates warning messages.
This patch holds a local reference of va display at ensure_allowed_raw_caps()
hence it doesn't go away meanwhile it is used, even if the
gst_vaapi_plugin_base_close() is called in other thread.

Enable the direct rendering with linear surfaces if the negotiated src caps
are video/x-raw without features.
Pass also the caps, since they are needed to know the requested caps features.
Just as we did in ensure_sinkpad_allocator(), let's move the error message
into the ensure_srcpad_allocator() from the caller,
gst_vaapi_plugin_base_decide_allocation()
Instead of receiving the GstVideoInfo structure as parameter, get the original
GstCaps from ensure_sinkpad_buffer_pool(), in this way we could decide better
which allocator instantiate.
If the allocator was configured to use direct upload or rendering, the
generated derived image created at mapping needs to be destroyed after
unmapping, because, in order to process the surface, it should not be marked
as "busy" by the driver.
The way to experiment with the direct rendering is through and internal
compiler pre-processor flag.
The current change set enables a way to specified at run-time, as a flag
passed to the allocator at instanciation time.
When creating a GstVaapiWindowEGL, it also creates native window by its own
native display. It should pass the native display, either X11 or Wayland.

This patch is to change the inheritance of GstVaapiDisplay to GstObject,
instead of GstVaapiMiniObject. In this way we can use all the available
infrastructure for GObject/GstObject such as GstTracer, GIR, etc.
In addition, a new debug category for GstVaapiDisplay is created to make it
easier to trace debug messages. It is named "vaapidisplay" and it transverse
all the VA display backends (DRM, GLX, EGL, Wayland, ...)
This patch is a step forward to expose GstVaapiDisplay for users in a future
library.

Since vaapipostproc is only registered if the driver supports it, all the
support for dynamic loading were removed. Though some leftovers remained.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773589
In the spirit of the codec split, this patch removes the documentation of
vaapidecode and adds a page per each possible decoder.
Nonetheless, only those available in the compilation system are going to be
instrospected, because the rest are not registered.
vaapidecode has a member named allowed_caps, but this name is not enough
explicit. This patch renames allowed_caps to allowed_sinkpad_caps.
No functional changes were included.

In order to clarify the use of flag as input parameter, it is renamed to
surface_alloc_flag, since it is used when creating a VA surface with certain
properties.

GstVaapiDecode is a descendant of GstVaapiMiniObject, so, thought we should
use its methods, even though it doesn't change functionality.
GstVaapiPixmap, GstVaapiTexture and GstVaapiWindow are descendant of
GstVaapiObject, hence its methods shall be used.
