The GStreamer codecparser layer now parses the scaling lists in zigzag
scan order, as expected, so that to match the original bitstream layout
and specification. However, further convert the scaling lists into
raster scan order to fit the existing practice in most VA drivers.

The previous fix was only valid to express the maximum size of the
macroblock layer, i.e. without any headers. Now, also account for
the slice headers and top picture header, but also any other header
we might stuff into the VA coded buffer, e.g. sequence headers.
Fix coded buffer size for each codec. A generic issue was that the
number of macroblocks was incorrectly computed. The second issue was
specific to MPEG-2 were the max number of bits per macroblock, and
as defined by the standard, was incorrectly mapped to the (lower)
H.264 requirement. i.e. 4608 bits vs. 3200 bits limit.
Change get_context_info() into a set_context_info() function that
initializes common defaults into the base class, thus allowing the
subclasses to specialize the context info further on.
The set_context_info() hook is also the location where additional
context specific data could be initialized. At this point, we are
guaranteed to have valid video resolution size and framerate. i.e.
gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() was called beforehand.
Clean public APIs up so that to better align with the decoder APIs.
Most importantly, gst_vaapi_encoder_get_buffer() is changed to only
return the VA coded buffer proxy. Also provide useful documentation
for the public APIs.
Kill GstVaapiEncoderSyncPic objects that are internally and temporarily
allocated. Rather, associate a GstVaapiEncPicture to a coded buffer
through GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy user-data facility.
Besides, use a GAsyncQueue to maintain a thread-safe queue object of
coded buffers.
Partial fix for the following report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719530
Fix the GstVaapiEncoderClass parent class type. Make sure to validate
subclass hooks as early as possible, i.e. in gst_vaapi_encoder_init(),
thus avoiding useless run-time checks. Also simplify the subclass
initialization process to be less error prone.
Refactor the GstVaapiCodedBuffer APIs so that to more clearly separate
public and private interfaces. Besides, the map/unmap APIs should not
be exposed as is but appropriate accessors should be provided instead.
* GstVaapiCodedBuffer: VA coded buffer abstraction
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_get_size(): get coded buffer size.
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_copy_into(): copy coded buffer into GstBuffer
* GstVaapiCodedBufferPool: pool of VA coded buffer objects
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_pool_new(): create a pool of coded buffers of
the specified max size, and bound to the supplied encoder
* GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy: pool-allocated VA coded buffer object proxy
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_new_from_pool(): create coded buf from pool
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer(): get underlying coded buffer
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer_size(): get coded buffer size
Rationale: more optimized transfer functions might be provided in the
future, thus rendering the map/unmap mechanism obsolete or sub-optimal.

Fix GstElement::set_context() implementation for all plug-in elements
to avoid leaking an extra reference to the VA display, thus preventing
correct cleanup of VA resources in GStreamer 1.2 builds.
Return earlier if the creation of a VA display failed. Likewise, simplify
gst_vaapi_video_context_propagate() now that we are guaranteed to have a
valid VA display.
When GstVideoMeta maps were used, the supporting functions incorrectly
used gst_buffer_get_memory() instead of gst_buffer_peek_memory(), thus
always increasing the associated GstMemory reference count and giving
zero chance to actually release that, and subsequently the VA display.
Simplify GstVaapiVideoMeta to only hold a surface proxy, which is
now allocated from a surface pool. This also means that the local
reference to the VA surface is also gone, as it could be extracted
from the associated surface proxy.
Drop the following functions that are not longer used:
- gst_vaapi_video_buffer_new_with_surface()
- gst_vaapi_video_meta_new_with_surface()
- gst_vaapi_video_meta_set_surface()
- gst_vaapi_video_meta_set_surface_from_pool()
Fix gst_vaapi_video_meta_new_from_pool() to allocate VA surface proxies
from surface pools instead of plain VA surfaces. This is to simplify
allocations now that surface proxies are created from a surface pool.
Add gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_copy() function that creates a new surface
proxy with the same information from the parent proxy, except that the
user-defined destroy notify function is not copied over.
The underlying VA surface is pushed back to the video pool only when
the last reference to the parent surface proxy is released.
Optimize gst_vaapiencode_handle_frame() to avoid extra memory allocation,
and in particular the GstVaapiEncObjUserData object. i.e. directly use
the VA surface proxy from the source buffer. This also makes the user
data attached to the GstVideoCodecFrame more consistent between both
the decoder and encoder plug-in elements.
Simplify gst_vaapiencode_push_frame(), while also removing the call
to gst_video_encoder_negotiate() since this is implicit in _finish()
if caps changed. Also fixed memory leaks that occured on error.
Constify pointers wherever possible. Drop unused variables, and use
consistent variable names. Fix gst_vaapiencode_h264_allocate_buffer()
to correctly report errors, especially when in-place conversion from
bytestream to avcC format failed.
Move "rate-control" mode and "bitrate" properties to the GstVaapiEncode
base class. The actual range of supported rate control modes is currently
implemented as a plug-in element hook. This ought to be determined from
the GstVaapiEncoder object instead, i.e. from libgstvaapi.
Align the plug-in debug category to its actual name. i.e. enable debug
logs through vaapiencode_<CODEC> where <CODEC> is mpeg2, h264, etc. Fix
the plug-in element description to make it more consistent with other
VA-API plug-ins.
Add gst_buffer_new_allocate() and gst_buffer_fill() implementations.
Fix gst_buffer_new_wrapped_full() implementation to handle the destroy
notify function.
GStreamer 0.10.36 is the latest and ultimate version to be released
from the GStreamer 0.10 branch. i.e. no further releases are to be
made. So, we can safely enable the built-in videoutils replacement
now that they are in sync with the 0.10 branch.

Add a GST_VAAPIENCODE_CAST() helper to avoid run-time checks against
the GObject type system. We are guaranteed to only deal with the same
plug-in element object.
Allow vaapiencode plug-in elements to encode from raw YUV buffers.
The most efficient way to do so is to let the vaapiencode elements
allocate a buffer pool, and subsequently buffers from it. This means
that upstream elements are expected to honour downstream pools.
If upstream elements insist on providing their own allocated buffers
to the vaapiencode elements, then it possibly would be more efficient
to insert a vaapipostproc element before the vaapiencode element.
This is because vaapipostproc currently has better support than other
elements for "foreign" raw YUV buffers.
Add GstVaapiEncodeMPEG2 element object. The actual plug-in element
is called "vaapiencode_mpeg2".
