416afd5fa9 avtp: CVF - fix error message
The error is about *not* being able to map a buffer.

f9a16731d1 avtp: CVF - Do not infinite loop trying to fragment zero sized NAL unit
Zero sized NAL-units should not happen, but if they do, do not infinite
loop. Added also a unit test for this case.

b056297eea avtp: Add fragmentation feature to CVF payloader
Based on `mtu` property, the CVF payloader is now capable of properly
fragmenting H.264 NAL units that are bigger than MTU in several AVTP
packets.

AVTP spec defines two methods for fragmenting H.264 packets, but this
patch only generates non-interleaved FU-A fragments.

Usually, only the last NAL unit from a group of NAL units in a single
buffer will be big enough to be fragmented. Nevertheless, only the last
AVTP packet sent for a group of NAL units will have the M bit set (this
means that the AVTP packet for the last fragment will only have the M
bit set if there's no more NAL units in the group).

3b4f3a0b3f avtp: Introduce AVTP CVF payloader element
This patch introduces the AVTP Compressed Video Format (CVF) payloader
specified in IEEE 1722-2016 section 8. Currently, this payload only
supports H.264 encapsulation described in section 8.5.

Is also worth noting that only single NAL units are encapsulated: no
aggregation or fragmentation is performed by the payloader.

An interesting characteristic of CVF H.264 spec is that it defines an
H264_TIMESTAMP, in addition to the AVTP timestamp. The later is
translated to the GST_BUFFER_DTS while the former is translated to the
GST_BUFFER_PTS. From AVTP CVF H.264 spec, it is clear that the AVTP
timestamp is related to the decoding order, while the H264_TIMESTAMP is
an ancillary information to the H.264 decoder.

Upon receiving a buffer containing a group of NAL units, the avtpcvfpay
element will extract each NAL unit and payload them into individual AVTP
packets. The last AVTP packet generated for a group of NAL units will
have the M bit set, so the depayloader is able to properly regroup them.

The exact format of the buffer of NAL units is described on the
'codec_data' capability, which is parsed by the avtpcvfpay, in the same
way done in rtph264pay.

This patch reuses the infra provided by gstavtpbasepayload.c.
