There is no NdkMediaCodecList API yet, but it is still better to isolate
JNI code. This will facilitate porting to a native API if Google ever
release one.
On the ODroid C1+ the H265 and H264 have the same name but are listed as two
different codecs. We have to handle them as the same one that supports both,
as otherwise we will register the same GType name twice which fails and we
then only have H265 support and not H264 support.
ahssrc is a new plugin that enables Gstreamer to read from the
android.hardware.Sensor Android sensors. These sensors are treated as
buffers and can be passed through and manipulated by the pipeline.

In the androidmedia plugin_init, we initialize various resources on the
Android device. If anything fails during this series of initializations,
we need to deinitialize any initializations that already occurred.
However, we don't do so if we fail to register the ahcsrc element. Fix
this.

Happens when doing zerocopy rendering, or when passing a wrong index to it.
Handle this properly for zerocopy rendering, fail properly for the other
cases.

OMX.Exynos. codecs are existing on some devices like the
Galaxy S5 mini, and cause random crashes (of the device,
not the app!) and generally misbehave. That specific device
has other codecs that work with a different name, but let's
just give them marginal rank in case there are devices that
have no other codecs and these are actually the only working
ones
On some devices there are codecs that don't start with OMX., while
there are also some that do. And on some of these devices the ones
that don't start with OMX. just crash during initialization while
the others work. To make things even more complicated other devices
have codecs with the same name that work and no alternatives.
So just give a lower rank to these non-OMX codecs and hope that
there's an alternative with a higher rank.
Also stagefright gives codecs starting with OMX. a higher rank too and
considers other codecs that don't start with OMX. as software codecs.
Check if libnativehelper is loaded in the process and if
it has these awful wrappers for JNI_CreateJavaVM and
JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs that crash the app if you don't
create a JniInvocation instance first. If it isn't we
just fail here and don't initialize anything.
