This is a simplification of the venerable
gst_va_base_dec_get_preferred_format_and_caps_features() function, which
predates since gstreamer-vaapi. It's used to select the format and the
capsfeature to use when setting the output state. It was complex and hard to
follow. This refactor simplifies a lot the algorithm.
The first thing to remove _downstream_has_video_meta() since, most of the time
it will be called before the caps negotiation, and allocation queries make sense
only after caps negotiation. It might work during renegotiation but, in that
case, caps feature change is uncommon. Better a simple and common approach.
Also, for performance, instead of dealing with caps features as strings, GQuarks
are used.
The refactor works like this:
1. If peer pad returns any caps, the returned caps feature is system memory and
looks for a proper format in the allowed caps.
2. The allowed caps are traversed at most 3 times: one per each valid caps
feature. First VAMemory, later DMABuf, and last system memory. The first to
match in allowed caps is picked, and the first format matching with the
chroma is picked too.
Notice that, right now, using playbin videoconvert never return any.

The output of VP9 and AV1 encoder is a little different from the H264
and H265 encoder, it may contain repeat frames and so the output frame
number may be more than the input. We need to call finish_subframe()
when some frame will be repeated later. So we need to extend the
current prepare_output() virtual function.

The input of the vacompositor may be DMA buffers. And in this case, the input
caps has the format=DMA_DRM, which can not be recognized by base video
aggregator class' find_best_format() function. So we need to override the
update_caps() virtual function.
Also we consider the DMA kind caps in negotiated_src_caps() for output.

VA drivers allocate surfaces given their properties, so there's no need to
provide a buffer size to the VA pool.
Though, the buffer size is provided by the driver, or the canonical size
is used for single planed surfaces.
This patch removes the need to provide a size for the function
gst_va_pool_new_with_config() and adds a helper method to retrieve the surface
size, gst_va_pool_get_buffer_size(). Also change the callers accordingly.
Changes for custom VA pool creation will be addressed in the following commits.

In the case of encoders and filters when importing a DMABuf, use
GstVideoInfoDmaDrm to get the drm fourcc and modifier.
In both cases, instead of keeping the original GstVideoInfoDmaDrm from caps, the
GstVideoInfo part of the structure is converted as canonical one, given the
format from the fourcc. It's kept in the way to handle V4L2 linear DMABufs and
to avoid too many changes in the current code.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/5264>
Instead of guessing the DRM format and modifier, pass a DRM video info to
gst_va_dmabuf_memories_setup().
Still, it checks for the DRM parameters in DRM info, if they are not available,
as in the case of V4L2 buffers, the part of the video info is used.
This is an API breakage, but since the plugin is still in stage, it's still
allowed.

This patch removes the code duplication of input buffer importation, in all the
va elements that import video frames. It defines a synthetic object whose
members are required to create a new input buffer and do the importation of the
upstream buffer.

When we consider the DMA kind caps as input, the input_state->info
only contains the video format of GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_DMA_DRM, which
is not enough for va plugins. The new info in base encoder contains
the correct video info after the DMA caps parsing.

VA decoders implementation has been verified from 1.18 through 1.22
development cycles and also via the Fluster test framework. Similar
to other cases, we can prefer hardware over software in most cases.
At the same time, GStreamer-VAAPI decoders are demoted to NONE to
avoid collisions. The first step to their deprecation.

According to libva API description, cu_qp_delta in VAConfigAttribValEncHEVCFeatures
is supposed to be used as a flag not the value of depth. And if flag enabled,
diff_cu_qp_delta_depth should be decided by log2_diff_max_min_luma_coding_block_size.

The current way of using gst_video_info_set_format() will change all
fields of the GstVideoInfo. We only need to change its format, stride
and offset fields.
In order to keep the consistency with th common drm API, we rename the
gst_va_video_info_from_dma_info() into gst_va_dma_drm_info_to_video_info().

The current way only selects the best video format from the first
structure of the caps. The caps like:
video/x-raw(memory:VAMemory),drm-format=(string)NV12; \
video/x-raw(memory:VAMemory),format=(string){ NV12, Y210 }
Will just choose NV12 as the result, even the bitstream is 10 bits.

The current way of using parent's copy_metadata() virtual function will
selectively filter out some meta such as crop meta. That virtual function
should be used when copying input buffer's meta data into output buffer,
not suitable when importing the input buffer.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/4887>
When the input buffer has crop meta, and we need to do copy, we
should consider the uncropped video size and copy the full size
of video memory.
The video meta in this case should contain the full uncropped
resolution info. We can use it to create full size va buffers.

The VA has its internal video format mapping(because different drivers may
have different interpretation for the same format), so we should convert the
info in GstVideoInfoDmaDrm into the according video info based on that mapping.

The devices list returned by g_udev_client_query_by_subsystem() may
contain udev devices in disorder path name. For example, on some
platform it may contain renderD129 before renderD128 device. This
will cause we register wrong va plugin name. In this case, the
renderD129 will be registered as default plugins such as vah265dec,
while the renderD128 will be registered as varenderD128h265dec.
This conflicts with the non-udev version of gst_va_device_find_devices().

In the same spirit of libva-win32 elements this patch shows the driver of each

Otherwise application would not be able to know matching element
for wanted device. Typical use case of the read-only device path
(DXGI Adapter LUID, CUDA device index, etc) property is that
application enumerates physical devices and then selects matching
GStreamer element (in null state) via device path property.

The VA API has not defined the scaling list entries for U/V planes
for the 4:4:4 stream. In fact, we do not meet the 4:4:4 format output
for H264 so far, and scaling list is not used frequently, so we just
print out some warning and ignore these scaling list values.

The VAAPI vaQueryVideoProcPipelineCaps() requires the context as the
parameter. So far, we always pass VA_INVALID_ID and it can succeed.
But the API does not say that and in theory, a valid context is required.
Now the new platform really needs a valid context and so we have to
delay that query until the context is created.

And even that vaav1dec doesn't use vabasedec negotiate vmethod, it should align
with the new scheme of using base's width & height for surface size and
output_info structure for downstream display size negotiation.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3480>
This vmethod can be used by decoders with the same VA decoder reopen logic:
same profile, chroma, width and height.
Also a new public method called gst_va_base_dec_set_output_state() with the
common GStreamer code for setting the output state, which is always called by
the negotiate vmethod.
In order to do this refactoring, new variables in vabasedec have to be populated
by the decoders:
* width and height define the resolution set in VA decoder. In the case of H264
would be de coded_width and codec_height, or max_width and max_height in AV1.
* output_info is the downstream video info used for negotiation in
gst_va_base_dec_set_output_state().
* input_state, from codec parent class shall be also held by vabasedec

1. Removes the verification if the internal encoder is not opened
yet to allow the property setting.
2. And toggles on the base class' reconf flag for each property
variable that can be modified at run time.
3. Mark those modifiable properties as mutable while playing.
Currently the run-time modifiable properties are:
qpi, qpp, qpb, bitrate, target percentage, target usage and rate control
Other properties can be enabled too, but they need testing.

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have
changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

This method will return the caps configured in the reconstruct buffer
pool, and its maxium number of buffers to allocate.

In fact, all the h264 bit writer have byte aligned output except
the slice header. So we change the API from bit size in unit to
byte size, which is easy to use. For slice header, we add a extra
"trail_bits_num" to return the unaligned bits number.

Handle when encoder doesn't support rate control, which is set as

The entrypoint is set when the encoder helper is constructed,
nonetheless it was also passed as parameter when opening. That's
buggy.
In order to simplify the code, the entrypoint at construction is
honored.
But gst_va_encoder_has_profile_and_entrypoint() now doesn't rely in
the internal list of profiles since it only contains those that
belongs to codec and entrypoint, thus it queries directly the VA
driver.
