Fixes regression introduced by commit 2eb2b26a.
There is a use case when the decoder set the src caps and immediatly
tries to process the media codec_data, this happens before decoder is
even opened, thus priv->parser is not instantiated yet.

Drops non-base NALs when the base-only property is set to TRUE.
This modifies the behavior for MVC streams with base-only too: All the
non-base units are dropped before they are decoded instead of dropping
the non-base frames.
The relevant part from the H264 spec is:
> Decoders that conform to one or more of the profiles specified in
Annex A rather than the profiles specified in Annexes G or H shall
ignore (remove from the bitstream and discard) the contents of all NAL
units with nal_unit_type equal to 14, 15, or 20.
To eliminate side effects from the offending units:
- PPS's with a broken seq_parameter_set_id (referring to dropped subset
SPS's) are ignored.
- The NAL parsing is skipped and their flags are set to
GST_VAAPI_DECODER_UNIT_FLAG_SKIP.
- Prefix units are not stored in prev_pi. Otherwise, parse_slice() would
use them even if they are flagged to be skipped. Subset SPS's and slice
extension units are not stored there either.

Coverity scan bug:
Dereference after null check: Either the check against null is
unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference.
In the original commit for fill_picture_gaps() (commit 5abd2b90) the
prev_picture could be NULL, that's why the code did a null check. But,
since commit 52adebe7, the previous reference frames are tracked, thus
there is no need to check null anymore.
Push frames downstream as soon as possible instead of waiting until
they are ejected from the DPB.
This patch makes the decoder not comply with the H.264 specification,
but it is required for some video cameras.

Since commits in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781142 landed,
they introduced regression in seek.
Formerly, once seek is done, decoder drops P-frames until I-frame arrives.
But since the commits landed, it doesn't drop P-frame and does try to
decode it continuously because active_sps is still alive. See ensure_sps function.
But there are prev_frames and prev_ref_frames reset already, then it
causes assertion.
So it's necessary to reset active_sps/pps also in reset method.

Clear decoders out on a flush but keep the same instance,

When the format of a H.264 stream is AVC3, the SPS and PPS are inside the
stream, not in the codec_data, so the size of codec_data might be 7.
This patch reduces the minimal size of the codec_data buffer from 8 to 7.

As part of the upstreaming process of gstreamer-vaapi into the GStreamer
umbrella, we need to comply with the project's code style. This meant to
change a lot of code.
It was decided to use a single massive patch to update the code style.
I would like to apologize with the original developers of this code because of
the history breakage.

When the GstVaapiParserInfoH264 is allocated, the memory is not initialized,
so it contains random data.
When gst_h264_parser_parse_pps() fails, the PPS structure keeps slice_group_id
pointer uninitialized, leading to a segmentation fault when the memory is
freed.
This patch prevents this by initializing the slice_group_id before the PPS
parsing.

Improve closure of gaps in frame_num by strictly following and trying
to fill them with previous reference frames. So, they are now tracked
thus avoiding insertion of dummy ("greenish") frames.
If the new picture to be added to the DPB is not a first field, then
it shall be the second field of the previous picture that was added
before.
This removes the need for dpb_find_picture() now that we track the
immediately preceding decoded picture, in decode order.
When a dummy "other-field" is inserted, it is assumed to inherit the
reference flags from the first field, and the sliding window decoded
reference picture marking process is also executed so that corrupted
frames are moved out as early as possible.
While doing so, we also try to output frames that now contain a single
valid field picture, prior to inserting any other picture into the DPB.
Note: this may be superfluous currently based on the fact that dpb_add()
combines the two most recent pairable fields, but this process would be
further simplified later on.
Mark the picture as "corrupted" if it is reconstructed from corrupted
references or if those references are fake, e.g. resulting from lost
frames.
This is useful for notifying the upper layer, or downstream elements,
that the decoded frame may contain artefacts.

Try to identify missing first fields too, thus disregarding any
intermediate gaps in frames. We also assume that we keep the same
field sequence, i.e. if previous frames were in top-field-first
(TFF) order, then so are subsequent frames.
Note that insertion of dummy first fields need to operate in two
steps: (i) create the original first field that the current field
will inherit from, and (ii) submit that field into the DPB prior
to initializing the current (other) field POC values but after any
reference flag was set. i.e. copy reference flags from the child
(other field) to the parent (first field).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745048
Interlaced H.264 video frames always have two fields to decode and
display. However, in some cases, e.g. packet loss, one of the field
can be missing. This perturbs the reference picture marking process,
whereby the number of references available in DPB no longer matches
the expected value.
This patch adds initial support for missing field within a decoded
frame. The current strategy taken is to find out the nearest field,
by POC value, and with the same parity.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745048
Try to maintain a "top-field-first" (TFF) flag, even if the H.264 standard
does not mandate it. This will be useful for tracking missing fields, and
also for more correct _split_fields() implementation for frames in the DPB.
Don't try to decode pictures until the first I-frame is received within
the currently active sequence. There is no point is decoding and then
displaying frames with artifacts.
Fix decoding of end_of_seq() NAL unit so that to not submit the current
picture for decoding again. This is pretty vintage code that dates back
before the existing of the whole decoder units machinery.
One issue that could be arising if that code was kept is that we could
have submitted a picture, and subsequently a GstVideoCodec frame, twice.
Once without the decode_only flag set, and once with that flag set. The
end result is that the GstVideoDecoder would release the codec frame
twice, thus releasing stale data.
In short, the piece of code that is removed by this patch is for once
completely obsolete for a while, and secondly error-prone in corner
cases.
Use the SEI pic_timing() message to track and propagate down the repeat
first field (RFF) flag. This is only initial support as there is one
other condition that could induce the RFF flag, which is not handled
yet.
Fix the decoding process for picture order count type 0 when the previous
picture had a memory_management_control_operation = 5. In particular, fix
the actual variable type for prev_pic_structure to hold the full bits of
the picture structure.
In practice, this used to work though, due to the underlying type used to
express a gboolean.
Use the SEI pic_timing() message to track the pic_struct variable when
present, or infer it from the regular slice header flags field_pic_flag
and bottom_field_flag. This fixes temporal sequence ordering when the
output pictures are to be displayed.

When a DPB flush is required, e.g. at a natural and of stream or issued
explicitly through an IDR, try to detect any frame left in the DPB that
is interlaced but does not contain two decoded fields. In that case, mark
the picture as having a single field only.
This avoids a hang while decoding tv_cut.mkv.
Simplify the dpb_output() function to exclusively rely on the frame store
buffer to output, since this is now always provided. Besides, also fix
cases where split fields would not be displayed.
This is a regression from f48b1e0.
Cope with latest changes from codecparsers/h264. It is now required
to explicitly clear the GstH264PPS structure as it could contain
additional allocations (slice_group_ids).
Slightly optimize decoding process by submitting the current VA surface
for decoding earlier to the hardware, and perform the reference picture
marking process and DPB update process afterwards.
This is a minor optimization to let the video decode engine kick in work
earlier, thus improving parallel resources utilization.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams where a first field (e.g. B-slice)
was immediately output and the current decoded field is to be paired
with that former frame, which is no longer in DPB.
