Holding previously decoded but not outputted pictures even after
new_sequence is not a safe approach in various aspect.
However, we cannot drain out DPB on new_sequence() unconditionally,
because there is a case where decoder should drop decoded pictures
if NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag is set.
To detect NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag before the new_sequence() call,
this patch splits decoding process into two path, one for nal unit parsing
in order to detect NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag and then each nal unit
will be decoded.

It's almost pointless and makes little sense as subclass might
want to modify refcount of the object or so. And all subclasses
are already casting them to non-const version as well.
In a general sense, we need to avoid passing refcounted object
with const qualifier.

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.

There are a lot of info in the mpeg2's sequence(also including ext
display_ext and scalable_ext). We need to notify the subclass about
its change, but not all the changes should trigger a drain(), which
may change the output picture order. For example, the matrix changes
in sequence header does not change the decoder context and so no need
to trigger a drain().

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 mpeg2 base class, so that backends that
support render delays can actually implement it.

Downstream might need the start code offset when decoding.
Previously this computation would be scattered in multiple sites. This
is error prone, so move it to the base class. Subclasses can access
slice->sc_offset directly without computing the address themselves
knowing that the size will also take the start code into account.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically

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)

boolean return value is not sufficient for representing the reason
of error in most cases. For instance, any errors around new_sequence()
would mean negotiation error, not just *ERROR*.
And some subclasses will allocate buffer/memory/surface on new_picture()
but it could be failed because of expected error, likely flushing
