With the asynchronous slice decoding, we only queue up to 2 slices
per frames. That side effect is that now we are dequeuing bitstream
buffers in both decoding and presentation order. This would lead to
a bitstream buffer from a previous frame being dequeued instead of
the expected last slice buffer and lead to us trying to queue an
already queued bitstream buffer.
We now fix this by tracking pending requests. As request are executed
in decoding order, we marking a request done, we can effectively
dequeue bitstream buffer from all previous request, as they have been
executed already.

The decoder is not being access from multiple threads, instead it is
always protected by the streaming lock. For this reason, a
GstAtomicQueue for the request pool is overkill and may even introduce
unneeded overhead. Use a GstQueueArray in replacement, the
GstQueueArray is a good fit since the number of item is predictable and
unlikely to vary at run-time.

In slice mode, we'll do one request per slice. In order to recycle
bitstream buffer, and not run-out, wait for the last pending
request to complete and mark it done.
We only wait after having queued the current slice in order to reduce
that potential driver starvation and maintain performance (using dual
buffering).

New plugin with an element for H.264 decoding with VA-API. This novel
approach, different from gstreamer-vaapi, uses gstcodecs library for
state handling.
The code is expected to looks cleaner because it uses VA-API without
further layers or wrappers.
* It uses the first supported DRM device as default VA display (other
displays will be supported through user's GstContext)
* Requires libva >= 1.6
* No multiview/stereo profiles neither interlaced streams because
gstcodecs doesn't handle them yet
* It is incompatible with gstreamer-vaapi
* Even if memory:VAMemory is exposed, it is not handled yet by any
other element
* Caps templates are generated dynamically querying VAAPI, but YV12
and I420 are added for system memory caps because they seem to be
supported for all the drivers when downloading frames onto main
memory, as they are used by xvimagesink and others, avoiding color
conversion.
* Surfaces aren't bounded to context, so they can grow beyond the DBP
size, allowing smooth reverse playback.
* There isn't yet error handling and recovery.
* 10-bit H.264 streams aren't supported by libva.

Current shader code is not compatible with HLSL profile "ps_4_0_level_9_3"
or lower. So d3dcompiler cannot compile our shader code in that case.
Note that VirtualBox is one known driver which doesn't support currently
implemented shader code.

It was introduced for later use of its enhanced feature over IMFSourceReader
such as taking photo with video preview, audio/video capturing at
the same time, etc. But currently it's not our use case, and it would
be maintenance burden.

This element uses the Desktop Duplication API to capture the desktop screen at high speed.
It supports Windows 8 or later.
It has the following features compared to other elements:
* Runs faster.
* It works in High DPI environment.
* Draws an accurate mouse cursor.

previous code releases GstBuffer too earlier. so we will see
ERROR default gstmsdkvideomemory.c:77:gst_msdk_video_allocator_get_surface: failed to get surface available
ERROR msdkbufferpool gstmsdkbufferpool.c:270:gst_msdk_buffer_pool_alloc_buffer:<msdkbufferpool0> failed to create new MSDK memory
We need to hold GstBuffer reference for msdk if the surfaced locked by msdk.
