Instead of recalculating the miscellaneous buffer parameters for
every buffer, it is only done once, when the encoder is configured.
And for every buffer, the same structures are just copied.

This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.
It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.
I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.

Move the Hypothetical Reference Decoder (HRD) parameter, from
ensure_misc_params() to ensure_control_rate_params(), since it
only shall be defined when the control rate is either VBR or CBR.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
Instead of filling the control rate param in ensure_misc_params(),
this patch refactor it out, as a first step to merge the same code
for all the encoders.

Right now, H264 and HEVC can set as a property the number of slices to
process. But each driver can set a maximum number of slices, depending
on the supported profile & entry point.
This patch verifies the current num_slices to process against the maximum
permitted by the driver and the media size.

This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:
The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
consumption.
The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.
Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".
All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

The current implementation is updating the POC values only
in Slice parameter Buffer.But we are not filling the
picture order count and reference flags in VAPictureH264
while populating VA Picture/Slice structures.The latest
intel-vaapi-driver is directly accessing the above fields
from VAPicutreH264 provided as RefPicLists, which resulted
some wrong maths and prediction errors in driver.

Implements gst_vaapi_utils_h26x_write_nal_unit(), which writes NAL
unit length and data to a bitwriter.
Note that this helper function applies EPB (Emulation Prevention
Bytes), since otherwise produced codec_data might be broken when
decoder/parser considering EPB, starts parsing.
See sections 7.3 and 7.4 of the H264 and H264 specifications, which
describes the emulation_prevention_three_byte.

Validate that fps numerator is non-zero so it can be used to calculate

Also it gst_util_uint64_scale() is used instead of normal arithmetic in

Change defaults for max-bframes, cabac, and dct8x8 to be enabled
by default. This will cause the default profile to be high instead
of baseline. In most situations this is the right decision, and
the profile can still be lowered in the case of caps restrictions.

This is a workaround since vaapi-intel-driver doesn't have
support for B-frame encode when utilizing low-power-enc
hardware block.
Fixme :We should query the VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames
instead of blindly disabling b-frame support and set b/p frame count,
buffer pool size etc based on the query result.

Upto 10 view are supported for now.

Really report sample aspect ratio (SAR) as present, and make it match
what we have obtained from the user as pixel-aspect-ratio (PAR). i.e.
really make sure VUI parameter aspect_ratio_info_present_flag is set

It is not necessary to periodically send SPS or subset SPS headers.
This is up to the upper layer (e.g. transport layer) to decide on
if/how to periodically submit those. For now, only generate new SPS
or subset SPS headers when the codec config changed.
Note: the upper layer could readily determine the config headers
(SPS/PPS) through the gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_get_codec_data() function.

Set the value of num_anchor_refs_l0, num_anchor_refs_l1, num_non_anchor_refs_l0,
and num_non_anchor_refs_l1 to zero since the inter-view prediction is not yet

When the seq_parameter_set_data() syntax structure is present in a subset
sequence parameter set and vui_parameters_present_flag is equal to 1, then
timing_info_present_flag shall be equal to 0 (H.7.4.2.1.1).
Submit Prefix NAL headers (nal_unit_type = 14) before every packed
slice header (nal_unit_type = 1 or 5) only for the base view. In non
base views, a Coded Slice Extension NAL header (nal_unit_type = 20)
is required, with an appropriate nal_unit_header_mvc_extension() in
the NAL header bytes.
