The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

The FORCE_KEYFRAME frame which has GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME
bit set should be the sync point. So we should let it be an IDR frame to begin
a new GOP, rather than just promote it to an I frame.

Set the P and B frame qp to I frame value to avoid generating delta
QP between different frame types. For ICQ and QVBR modes, we can
only set the qpi value, so the qpp and qpb values should be set to
the same value as the qpi.

Certain V4L2 fourccs don't (yet) have DRM counter parts, in which case
we can't create DMA_DRM caps for them. This is usually the case for
specific tilings, which are represented as modifiers for DMA formats.
While using these tilings is generally preferable - because of e.g.
lower memory usage - it can result in additional conversion steps when
interacting with DMA based APIs such as GL, Vulkan or KMS. In such cases
using a DMA compatible format usually ends up being the better option.
Before the addition of DMA_DRM caps, this was what playbin3 ended up
requesting in various cases - e.g. prefering NV12 over NV12_4L4 - but
the addition of DMA_DRM caps seems to confuse the selection logic.
As a simple and quite robust solution, assume that peers supporting
DMA_DRM caps always prefer these and reorder the caps accordingly.
In the future we plan to have a translation layer for cases where
there is a matching fourcc+modifier pair for a V4L2 fourcc, ensuring
optimal results.

1. The PTS of all frames should not be changed.
2. Just update the DTS based on the PTS. For the frame which is not
reordered, the DTS is equal to PTS. For frame which is reordered,
the DTS is equal to previous DTS. For example:
Input: F0[D0, P0] -- F1[D1, P1] -- F2[D2, P2] -- F3[D3, P3]
Output: F0[I, D0, P0] -- F3[P, D0, P3] -- F1[B, D1, P1] -- F2[B, D2, P2]

Fixing deadlock in below case
* GC lock is taken by background thread, and the background thread calls
gst_d3d12_ipc_client_release_imported_data() which takes ipc lock
* ipc lock is already taken in ipc thread and trying to pushing GC data
via gst_d3d12_command_queue_set_notify()
* gst_d3d12_command_queue_set_notify() is trying to take GC lock
but it's already taken by background thread

Ideally, GPU waiting should be scheduled just before executing command list.
But handling the case outside of converter is a bit complicated.
Under an assumption that constructed command list will be executed
immediately, schedules GPU-side waiting inside of conversion method
to simplify the flow.

A DPB buffer held by codec picture object may not be writable
at the moment, then gst_buffer_make_writable() will unref passed buffer.
Specifically, the use after free or double free can happen if:
* Crop meta of buffer copy is required because of non-zero
top-left crop position
* zero-copy is possible with crop meta
* A picture was duplicated, interlaced h264 stream for example
Interlaced h264 stream with non-zero top-left crop position
is not very common but it's possible configuration in theory.
Thus gst_buffer_make_writable() should be called with
GstVideoCodecFrame.output_buffer directly.

GstD3D12Device objetct's internal resources are singletons per adapter
already though, the object itself is not a singleton.
Due to the singleton design (unlike other APIs such as d3d11),
d3d12 device context sharing is not a strict requirement
for zero-copy, but handles context ones to make things less noisy.

Adding RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx, VUYA and RGB10A2_LE format support for performance.
However, these formats are not still recommended if upstream can support
native YUV formats (e.g., NV12, P010) since NVENC does not expose
conversion related optiones. Note that VUYA format is 4:4:4 YUV format
already but NVENC runtime will convert it to 4:2:0 format internally

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, format, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

The last frame which has the smallest diff should be consider as
the first choice rather than the golden frame. Especially when only
one reference available, this way can improve the BD rate about 5
percentage.
