When missing the reference frames, we should not just discard the current
frame. Some streams have group of picture header. It is an optional header
that can be used immediately before a coded I-frame to indicate to the decoder
if the first consecutive B-pictures immediately following the coded I-frame can
be reconstructed properly in the case of a random access.
In that case, the B frames may miss the previous reference and can still be
correctly decoded. We also notice that the second field of the I frame may
be set to P type, and it only ref its first field.
We should not skip all those frames, and even the frame really misses the
reference frame, some manner such as inserting grey picture should be used
to handle these cases.
The driver crashes when it needs to access the reference picture while we set
forward_reference_picture or backward_reference_picture to VA_INVALID_ID. We
now set it to current picture to avoid this. This is just a temp manner.

The behavior for zero AVEncMPVGOPSize value would be
varying depending on GPU vendor implementation and some
GPU will produce keyframe only once at the beginning of encoding.
That's unlikely expected result for users.
To make this property behave consistently among various GPUs,
this commit will change default value of "gop-size" property to -1
which means "auto". When "gop-size" is unspecified, then
mfvideoenc will calculate GOP size based on framerate
like that of our x264enc implementation.

Add a new video source element "d3d11desktopdupsrc" for capturing desktop image
via Desktop Duplication based on Microsoft's Desktop Duplication sample available at
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/master/Samples/DXGIDesktopDuplication
This element is expected to be a replacement of existing dxgiscreencapsrc
element in winscreencap plugin.
Currently this element can support (but dxgiscreencapsrc cannot)
- Copying captured D3D11 texture to output buffer without download
- Support desktop session transition
e.g., can capture desktop without error even in case that
"Lock desktop" and "Permission dialog"
- Multiple d3d11desktopdupsrc elements can capture the same monitor
Not yet implemented features
- Cropping rect is not implemented, but that can be handled by downstream
- Mult-monitor is not supported. But that is also can be implemented by
downstream element for example via multiple d3d11desktopdup elements
with d3d11compositor

Hide most of symbols of GstD3D11Memory object.
GstD3D11Memory is one of primary resource for imcoming d3d11 library
and it's expected to be a extensible feature.
Hiding implementation detail would be helpful for later use case.
Summary of this commit:
* Now all native Direct3D11 resources are private of GstD3D11Memory.
To access native resources, getter methods need to be used
or generic map (e.g., gst_memory_map) API should be called
apart from some exceptional case such as d3d11decoder case.
* Various helper methods are added for GstBuffer related operations
and in order to remove duplicated code.

overlay window handle especially playbin/playsink scenario
since playsink will set given overlay handle on videosink once
READY state change of videosink is ensured.

Unlike software MFT (Media Foundation Transform) which is synchronous
in terms of processing input and output data, hardware MFT works
in asynchronous mode. output data might not be available right after
we pushed one input data into MFT.
Note that async MFT will fire two events, one is "METransformNeedInput"
which happens when MFT can accept more input data,
and the other is "METransformHaveOutput", that's for signaling
there's pending data which can be outputted immediately.
To listen the events, we can wait synchronously via
IMFMediaEventGenerator::GetEvent() or make use of IMFAsyncCallback
object which is asynchronous way and the event will be notified
from Media Foundation's internal worker queue thread.
To handle such asynchronous operation, previous working flow was
as follows (IMFMediaEventGenerator::GetEvent() was used for now)
- Check if there is pending output data and push the data toward downstream.
- Pulling events (from streaming thread) until there's at least
one pending "METransformNeedInput" event
- Then, push one data into MFT from streaming thread
- Check if there is pending "METransformHaveOutput" again.
If there is, push new output data to downstream
(unlikely there is pending output data at this moment)
Above flow was processed from upstream streaming thread. That means
even if there's available output data, it could be outputted later
when the next buffer is pushed from upstream streaming thread.
It would introduce at least one frame latency in case of live stream.
To reduce such latency, this commit modifies the flow to be fully
asynchronous like hardware MFT was designed and to be able to
output encoded data whenever it's available. More specifically,
IMFAsyncCallback object will be used for handling
"METransformNeedInput" and "METransformHaveOutput" events from
Media Foundation's internal thread, and new output data will be
also outputted from the Media Foundation's thread.

Add a new property "render-stats" to allow rendering statistics
data on window for debugging and/or development purpose.
Text rendering will be accelerated by GPU since this implementation
uses Direct2D/DirectWrite API and Direct3D inter-op for minimal overhead.
Specifically, text data will be rendered on swapchain backbuffer
directly without any copy/allocation of extra texture.

Since GstVaDecodePicture is destroyed completely with its free() function and
it's used as destroy notify by codecs picture, there's no need to call
gst_va_decoder_destroy_buffers() externally, since the codecs base classes
destroy the codec picture when it's required.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1841>
The current way of GstVaDecodePicture's finalize will leak some
resource such as parameter buffers and slice data.
The current way deliberately leaves these resource releasing logic
to va decoder related function and trigger a warning if we free the
GstVaDecodePicture without releasing these resources.
But in practice, sometimes, you do not have the chance to release
these resource before picture is freed. For example, H264/Mpeg2
support multi slice NALs/Packets for one frame. It is possible that
we already succeed to parse and generate the first several slices
data by _decode_slice(), but then we get a wrong slice NAL/packet
and fail to parse it. We decide to discard the whole frame in the
decoder's base class, it just free the current picture and does not
trigger sub class's function again. In this kind of cases, we do
not have the chance to cleanup the resource, and the resource will
be leaked.

Even if resolution and/or bitdepth is not updated, required
DPB size can be changed per SPS update and it could be even
larger than previously configured size of DPB. If so, we need
to reconfigure DPB d3d11 texture pool again.

In order to honor GST_BUFFER_POOL_ACQUIRE_FLAG_DONTWAIT in VA pool, allocators'
wait_for_memory() has to be decoupled from their prepare_buffer() so it could be
called in pools' acquire_buffer() if the flag is not set.
wait_for_memory() functions are blocking so the received memories are assigned
to the fist requested buffer, if multithreaded calls. For this a new mutex were
added.

An application, using for example appsink, can hold buffers from any
va allocator after setting the pipeline to NULL. We need to destroy
the allocator when that memory is unrefed.
This patch juggles a bit with the allocator reference count in
memories in order to achieve this:
1. When memory is created no alloc ref is modified
2. When memory is released, alloc ref is decreased
3. When memory is reassiged to a buffer, alloc ref is increased
4. When memory is flushed, alloc ref is increased becase it is going
to be decreased in gst_memory_unref()
Also this patch moves the deallocation of member variables to
finalize() rather than dispose()
