Adding new encoder elements nvd3d11{h264,h265}enc for Direct3D11
input support and re-written nvcuda{h264,h265}enc elements.
Newly writeen elements have some differences compared with old
nv{h264,h265}enc including non-backward compatible changes.
* RGBA is not a supported input format any more:
New elements will support only YUV formats to avoid implicit conversion
done by hardware. Ideally it should be done by upstream element
in order to have more control on it. Moreover, RGBA support can cause
redundant RGBA -> YUV conversion if multiple encoders are
used for the same RGBA input
* Subsampled planar format support is dropped:
I420 and YV12 format are not supported formats for Direct3D11.
Although it's supported in CUDA mode, it's not a hardware friendly
memory layout and it will waste GPU memory since UV planes
will have large padding due to the memory layout requirement of NVENC.
* GL support is dropped: Similar to the RGBA case,
GL support in encoder would be suboptimal if GL input is
used by multiple encoders, because each encoder will copy GL memory
into CUDA memory.
Upstream cudaupload element can be used for GL <-> CUDA
interop instead.
* No more pre-allocation of encoder input surfaces. New implementation
will use input CUDA memory without copy (zero-copy) or
will copy into a NVENC's input buffer struct in case of
system memory input.

Since the strings are empty for GST_MSDK_CAPS_MAKE_WITH_DMABUF_FEATURE
and GST_MSDK_CAPS_MAKE_WITH_VA_FEATURE, when excuting
gst-inspect-1.0.exe msdkh265enc, there will be convert static caps error
because of the extra semicolon between two empty strings. Now macro
definitions are added to avoid this issue.

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the
picture will populate the DPB if it is a key-frame. To ensure this, remove the
default implementation.

1. Always set the according GstVaH264EncFrame pointer when GstVideoCodecFrame
pointer is assigned, which can make the logic safe.
2. Fix the forgotten change in _sort_by_frame_num. Its input pointer now is
GstVideoCodecFrame type.

On GstVideoDecoder::{drain,flush}, we send null packet with
CUVID_PKT_ENDOFSTREAM flag to drain out decoder. Which will
reset CUVID parser as well.
To continue decoding after the drain, the next input buffer
should include sequence headers otherwise CUVID parser will
not report any decodeable frame.

Instead of using GstMiniObject to hold H264 frame, now it uses a plain
structure. Besides, instead of holding a reference to
GstVideoCodecFrame, the H264 frame structure is set as a
GstVideoCodecFrame user data.

When there is vpp scaling downstream, we need to make sure SFC is not
triggered because vpp may fall into passthrough mode which causes
the decoder negotiation to create src caps with vpp scaled width/height.
This patch includes bitstream's original size in first query with
downstream in gst_msdkdec_src_caps, which is the same for what we do for
color format in this query. This is to ensure SFC scaling starts to
work only when downstream directly asks for a different size instead of
through vpp.
Note that here SFC scaling follows the same behavior as msdkvpp:
if user only changes width or height, e.g. dec ! video/x-raw,width=xx !,
the height will be modified to the value which fits the original DAR.

* Hide GstCudaMemory member variables
* Make GstCudaAllocator object GstCudaContext independent
* Set offset/stride of memory correctly via video meta
* Drop GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_VIDEO_ALIGNMENT support.
This implementation actually does not support custom alignment
because we allocate device memory via cuMemAllocPitch
of which alignment is almost uncontrollable

* cudaupload/download
- Specify only formats actually we can deal with
nvcodec elements, not all video formats
- Supports CUDA output for download and input for upload in order
to make passthrough possible, like other upload/download elements.
* cudabasetransform
- Reset conversion element if upstream CUDA memory
holds different CUDA context and the element can accept it.
This is the same behavior as corresponding d3d11 filter elements.

Currently for copying the coded buffer onto a GStreamer buffer, the
coded buffer is mapped two times: one for getting the size, and later
for do the actual copy. We can avoid this by doing directly in the
element rather than in the general encoder object.
