In order to simplify caps negotiations for clients and, notably, be more
compatible with va* decoders.
Crucially this allows clients to know ahead of time whether buffers will
actually be DMABufs.
Similar to GstVaBaseDec we only announce system memory caps if the peer
has ANY caps. Further more, and again like va decoders, we fail in
`decide_allocation()` if DMA_DRM caps are used without VideoMeta.
Apart from buggy peers this can happen e.g. when a peer with ANY caps
is used in combination with caps filters.

Most importantly rely on video info helpers instead of manual parsing
of caps, which will allow us to use additional helpers in the future.
While on it, tighen the check for supported formats - failing that
indicates a bug in caps negotiation - and make some style changes.

This ensures we don't create filter caps that are not supported by the
individual codec implementations, as well as that the resulting caps
have the required fields so they can be turned into a GstVideoFormat.

Add macro which converts picture frame number to suitable timestamp in
nanoseconds for use in V4L2 VB2 buffer lookup. Since multiple codecs do
the same operation and almost all got it wrong, do it in one place so it
can be fixed in one place again, if needed.

The GstMpeg2Picture system_frame_number is guint32, constant 1000 is guint32,
GstV4l2CodecMpeg2Dec *_ref_ts multiplication result is u64 .
```
u64 result = (u32)((u32)system_frame_number * (u32)1000);
```
behaves the same as
```
u64 result = (u32)(((u32)system_frame_number * (u32)1000) & 0xffffffff);
```
so in case `system_frame_number > 4294967295 / 1000`, the `result` will
wrap around. Since the `result` is really used as a cookie used to look
up V4L2 buffers related to the currently decoded frame, this wraparound
leads to visible corruption during MPEG2 decoding. At 30 FPS this occurs
after cca. 40 hours of playback .
Fix this by changing the 1000 from u32 to u64, i.e.:
```
u64 result = (u64)((u32)system_frame_number * (u64)1000ULL);
```
this way, the wraparound is prevented and the correct cookie is used.

We were previously always querying index 0, and while the number of planes per
buffer will never change, it seems more proper to query the right buffer rather
than always the first one.
This was found while reading strace logs, and wondering why the
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED flag was present on all ¬0 indices even though that
happened before VIDIOC_EXPBUF.

When decoding stream using hardware V4L2 decoder element, in any of the
currently supported formats, the decoding will fail once frame number
1000000 is reached. The reported error clearly indicates a wrap-around
occured, instead of receiving decoded frame 1000000, frame 0 is received
from the hardware V4L2 decoder driver.
The problem is actually not in the driver itself, but rather in gstreamer,
which uses `struct v4l2_buffer` member `.timestamp` in a special way. The
timestamp of buffers with encoded data added to the SINK (input) queue of
the driver is copied by the driver into matching buffers with decoded data
added to the SOURCE (output) queue of the driver. In fact, the timestamp
is not a timestamp at all, but rather in this special case, only part of
it is used as an incrementing frame counter.
The `.timestamp` is of type `struct timeval`, which is defined in
`sys/time.h` [1]. Only the `tv_usec` member of this structure is used
for the incrementing frame counter. However, suseconds_t tv_usec [2]
may be limited to range [-1, 1000000]:
"
[XSI] The type suseconds_t shall be a signed integer type capable of
storing values at least in the range [-1, 1000000].
"
Therefore, once frame 1000000 is reached, a rollover occurs and decoding
fails.
Fix this by using both `struct timeval` members, `.tv_sec` and `.tv_usec`
with matching modular arithmetic, this way the failure would occur again
just short of 2^84 frames, which should be plenty.

While adding arbitrary tile support, a round up operation was badly
converter. This caused the Y component of the stride to be 0. This
eventually lead to a crash in glupoad preceded by the following
assertion.

The `gst_video_decoder_negotiate_pool` function expects the
`decide_allocation` function to always provide a pool and will fail to
negotiate if the pool is missing. If we return immediately (even if we
don't need to do anything special) negotiation will fail if the
downstream element does not propose a pool.
Fix by chaining up to the default `decide_allocation` function which
adds a fallback pool if one was not already proposed.

This patch adds an element to stream video data to an uvc video gadget.
The element handles the uvc events STREAMON, STREAMOFF, SETUP and DATA.
to start, stop and configure the video buffer flow by the use of pad
probes. It works with linux kernels of versions higher than v6.1.
The element makes use of the v4l2sink proxy property v4l2sink::device
to locate the corresponding device to parse the configfs for additional
data.
The code in uvc.c is basically derived from /lib/uvc.c in
https://git.ideasonboard.org/uvc-gadget.git.

In current tile representation, only tiles with power of two
width and height in bytes are supported. This limitation
prevents adding more complex tiles formats.
In this patch, we deprecate tile_ws and tile_hs from GstVideoFormatInfo and
replace if with an array of GstVideoTileInfo. Each plane tiles are then
described with their pixels width/height, line stride and total size.
The helper gst_video_format_info_get_tile_sizes() that depends on the
deprecated API is also being removed. This can simply be removed as it wasn't
in any stable release yet.

This change allow output caps to be updated even though we stay in
streaming state. This is needed so that any upstream updated to fields
like framerate, hdr data, etc. can result in a downstream caps event
being pushed.
Previously, any of these changes was being ignored and the downstream
caps would not reflect it.

Currently if the user is not able to access the devices under /dev/media*,
either due to no media devices present on the system or simply no permission
to access the device, v4l2codecs initialises with no features or debug messages.
Since calling `GST_DEBUG="v4l2*:7" gst-inspect-1.0 v4l2codecs` is a typical way
to diagnose why element(s) failed to enumerate, we should be more verbose here
when the user is not able to access any /dev/media* device. So print a simple
debug message in this case to aid debugging.

The function g_array_sized_new() leaves the len to 0, but the slice
implementation assumes it would be set to 4. Sending multiple slices is
not yet support for H.264 as no driver needed it yet, but if that code
was to be used it would have overflowed as the array would never grow as
multiple 0 by 2 always results in 0.
