Added a utility method to replace the MemID (interanl VASurfaceID)
associated with the mfxFrameSurface. This is usefull for dmabuf-import
where we need to replace the memID dynamically

Exporting DRM_PRIME fd to VASurface requires direct
invocation of VA api VACreateSurface with
VASurfaceAttribExternalBufferDescriptor and other
necessary surface attributes.

The new property "output-order" can be set to either "display" order
which is the default where frames will be outputting in display order,
or "decoded-order" which will be outputting the frames in decoded order.
The "decoded order" output is generally useful for debugging. But there
are few
customers who use it for low-latency streaming. For eg if the customer
already knows that the stream doesn't have b-frames (which means no
algorithm requires for display order calculation), then they can use
"decoded-order"
output to skip some of the DPB logic to avoid the frame accumulation at
start-up.
The root cause of the above issue is a bit of unclarity in h264 spec +
lazy implementation of many H264 encoders; This is well handled in
gstreamer-vaapi using "low-latency" property:

For packetized input, inform the msdk that the buffer has
a complete frame or complementary field pairs. For decoding,
this means that the decoder can proceed with this buffer without
waiting for the start of the next frame, which effectively reduces
decoding latency.

Currently we use an async depth of 4 as default (based on
recommendations
in msdk apps), which indicates how many asynchronous operations an
application performs
before the application explicitly synchronizes the result. As a result,
we
queue four frames in decoder which might not be good approach for
live streaming.
This patch reset the async-depth to 1 as default so that we do sync for
each frame we decode without queuing. Customer can play with already
exposed "async-depth" property for other use cases

So far msdk produced dmabuf fds are non-mappable.
If user wants to download the content of underlined surfaces,
dmabufcapsfeature negotiated pipeline will fail. So if the input surface
is dmabuf and downstream doesn't have support for dmabuf capsfeatures,
we do the vpp (no passthrough) and produce the mappable videomemory
buffers.

prpose_allocation:
-- always instantiate a pool for for upstream
-- use async_depth + 1 as min buffer count
decide_allocation:
-- always create a new bufferpool for source pad.
Each of the msdk element has to create it's own mfxsurfacepool
which is an msdk contraint. For eg: Each Msdk component (vpp, dec and
enc)
will invoke the external Frame allocator for video-memory usage
So sharing the pool between gst-msdk elements might not be a good idea.

Using the default value (InterleavedDec == MFX_SCANTYPE_UNKNOWN)
causing issues with non-interleaved sample decode. Ideally the usage
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader should fix these type of issue, but
it seems to be not. But hardcoding the InterleaveDec to
MFX_SCANTYPE_NONINTERLEAVED
is fixing the problem and fortunately msdk seems to be taking care of
Interleaved samples
too .So let's hardcode it for now.

This patch includes:
1\ Implements MsdkDmaBufAllocator and allocation of msdk dmabuf memroy.
2\ Each msdk dmabuf memory include its own msdk surface kept by GQuark.
3\ Adds new option GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_MSDK_USE_DMABUF
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793707
There needs to be generalized for the parameter from
GstVideoMsdkVideoMemory to GstMemory.
Thus we can call these functions if using DMABuf memory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793707
For example, if framerate 0/1 is provided from upstream, the driver
fails to configure and complain about it.
We can let it go and make the driver assuming framerate itself.

There was not handling the end of encoding sequence in encoder.
This patch does drain any remaining internal streams while decoder
already does this.
Document says:
"To mark the end of the encoding sequence, call this function with a
NULL surface
pointer. Repeat the call to drain any remaining internally cached
bitstreams—one
frame at a time—until MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA is returned."

Sometimes parent context is released before its children get released.
In this case MFXClose of parent session fails.
To make sure that child sessions are closed before closing a parent
session,
Parent context needs to manage child sessions and close them first when
it's released.
