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, format, 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.

The last frame which has the smallest diff should be consider as
the first choice rather than the golden frame. Especially when only
one reference available, this way can improve the BD rate about 5
percentage.

This fixes a crash in `gst_va_h264_enc_class_init` and `gst_va_h265_enc_class_init`
(and probably also in gst_va_av1_enc_class_init) when calling
`g_object_class_install_properties (object_class, n_props, properties);`
When rate_control_type is 0, the following code is executed in :
```
} else {
n_props--;
properties[PROP_RATE_CONTROL] = NULL;
}
```
n_props has initially a value of N_PROPERTIES but PROP_RATE_CONTROL
is not the last element in the array, so it's making
g_object_class_install_properties fail to iterate over the
properties array.
This applies the same fix to gstvah264enc.c, gstvah265enc.c and
gstvaav1enc.c.
