When transforming from unknown alignment to frame or obu, the TU timestamp
was not properly transferred. Fix this by saving the TU DTS as the first
DTS seen within the the TU data, and the PTS as the last PTS seen in that
TU data. Finally, reset the TU timestamp after each TU have completed.

Adds a separate vtenc_h265a element (with a _hw variant as usual) for the HEVCWithAlpha codec type.
Decided to go with a separate element to not break existing uses of the normal HEVC encoder.
The preserve_alpha property is still only used for ProRes, no need for it here because we explicitly say we want alpha
when using the new element.
For now, the HEVCWithAlpha has an issue where it does not throttle the amount of input frames queued internally.
I added a quick workaround where encode_frame() will block until enqueue_frame() callback notifies it that some space
has been freed up in the internal queue. The limit was set to 5, which should be enough I guess? Hopefully this is not
too prone to race conditions.

Conceptually identical to the present signal of d3d11videosink.
This signal will be emitted with current render target
(i.e., swapchain backbuffer) and command queue. Signal handler
can record GPU commands for an overlay image or to blend
an image to the render target.
In addition to d3d12 resources, videosink will send
d3d11 and d2d resources depending on "overlay-mode"
property, so that signal handler can render by using
preferred/required DirectX API.

From the spec (chapter 34, v1.3.283):
````
UNORM: the components are unsigned normalized values in the range [0, 1]
SRGB: the R, G and B components are unsigned normalized value that represent
values using sRGB nonlinear encoding, while the A component (if one
exists) is a regular unsigned normalized value
```
The difference is the storage encoding, the first one is aimed for image
transfers, while the second is for shaders, mostly in the swapchain stage in the
pipeline, and it's done automatically if needed [1].
As far as I have checked, other frameworks (FFmpeg, GTK+), when import or export
images from/to Vulkan, use exclusively UNORM formats, while SRGB formats are
ignored.
My conclusion is that Vulkan formats are related on how bits are stored in
memory rather their transfer functions (colorimetry).
This patch does two interrelated changes:
1. It swaps certain color format maps to try first, in both
gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info() and gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info_2(),
the UNORM formats, when comparing its usage, and later check for SRGB.
2. It removes the code that check for colorimetry in
gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info_2(), since it not storage related.

The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

If the muxer times out because of the latency deadline it can happen
that some pads have no caps yet. In that case skip creation of streams
for these pads and create updated section tables once the first buffer
arrives later.

This makes sure that for sparse streams (KLV, DVB subtitles, ...) the
muxer does not wait until the next buffer is available for them but
times out on the latency deadline and outputs data.
For non-live pipelines it will still be necessary for upstream to
correctly produce gap events for sparse streams.

Certain V4L2 fourccs don't (yet) have DRM counter parts, in which case
we can't create DMA_DRM caps for them. This is usually the case for
specific tilings, which are represented as modifiers for DMA formats.
While using these tilings is generally preferable - because of e.g.
lower memory usage - it can result in additional conversion steps when
interacting with DMA based APIs such as GL, Vulkan or KMS. In such cases
using a DMA compatible format usually ends up being the better option.
Before the addition of DMA_DRM caps, this was what playbin3 ended up
requesting in various cases - e.g. prefering NV12 over NV12_4L4 - but
the addition of DMA_DRM caps seems to confuse the selection logic.
As a simple and quite robust solution, assume that peers supporting
DMA_DRM caps always prefer these and reorder the caps accordingly.
In the future we plan to have a translation layer for cases where
there is a matching fourcc+modifier pair for a V4L2 fourcc, ensuring
optimal results.

`rsvg_handle_get_dimensions()` and `rsvg_handle_render_cairo()` are
deprecated, and the replacement librsvg functions as specified in the
migration guide are `rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_size_in_pixels()` and
`rsvg_handle_render_document()`.
However, those are not drop-in replacements, and actually have
breaking semantics for our use-case:
1. `intrinsic_size_in_pixels()` requires SVGs to have width+height or
the viewBox attribute, but `get_dimensions()` does not. It will
calculate the geometry based on element extents recursively.
2. `render_cairo()` simply renders the SVG at its intrinsic size on
the specified surface starting at the top-left, maintaining
whatever transformations have been applied to the cairo surface,
including distorted aspect ratio.
However, `render_document()` does not do that, it is specifically
for rendering at the specified aspect ratio inside the specified
viewport, and if you specify a viewPort that does not match the
aspect ratio of the SVG, librsvg will center it.
Matching the old behaviour with the new APIs is a lot of work for no
benefit. We'd be duplicating code that is already there in librsvg in
one case and undoing work that librsvg is doing in the other case.
The aspect ratio handling in this element is also kinda atrocious.
There is no option to scale the SVG while maintaining the aspect
ratio. Overall, element needs a rewrite.
Let's just disable deprecations. The API is not going anywhere.

There was an issue with this equality check, which was to figure out what to do
with PCR pids (whether they were part of the streams present or not) and whether
we ignore PCR or not.
Turns out ... we already took care of that further up in the function.
The length check can be simplified by just checking whether the length of
the *original* PMT and the new PMT are identical. Since we don't store "magic"
PCR streams in those, we can just use them as-is.

It seems that when D3D11CreateDevice collides in time
with other D3D11 calls, in particular the proccess of

D3D11 spec doesn't seem to require any thread safety from
D3D11CreateDevice. Following MSDN, it is supposed to be called
in the beginning of the proccess, while GStreamer calls it with each
