STREAMOFF set all v4l2buffers to DEQUEUE state.
Then for CAPTURE we call QBUF on each buffer.
For OUTPUT the buffers are just push back in the GstBufferPool
base class 's queue.
But the loop actually looks like the same.

If there is nothing that seems to force a certain framerate on output device, it is
preferable to simply not set that feild. This allow negotiation with tsdemux in a
decoder for example.

Also add a FIXME in gst_v4l2_object_setup_format
to note that the whole function has to be improved
in order to support ENCODED formats.
It requires to have an encoder device which we do not
have right now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720568
This method allow setting up the object from the currently configured format on the
device. This is useful for M2M element where input data decides the format that will
be set on capture side.

The number of plane, and the stride does not represent a capability change. Same caps
can have different stride from the default GstVideoInfo and the number of planes will
never change for 1 format.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720568
It makes the gst_v4l2_object_set_format() slightly simplier and will make that
logic reusable. Note that gst_v4l2_object_has_mplane() will always return the
same value for one device. There is no need to check against the caps as this
has already been done by _open.

We set the dimensions just in case but don't validate them
afterwards. For some codecs the dimensions are *not* in the
bitstream, IIRC VC1 in ASF mode for example.

And especially also consider update versions, e.g. 10.5 with updates
will be 1051 or similar and thus bigger than MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 but
still won't have the API we want to use.
so that the buffer informations can be retrieved the same way
in both MPLANE and non-MPLANE mode.
Here "emulating" means "manually fill in the plane".

This api is in linux kernel since version 2.6.39,
and present in all version 3.
The commit that adds the API in master branch of the
linux kernel source is:
f8f3914cf9
v4l2 doc: "Some devices require data for each input
or output video frame to be placed in discontiguous
memory buffers"
There are newer structures 'struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane'
and 'struct v4l2_plane'.
So the pixel format is not setup with the same API when using
multi-planar.
Also for gst-v4l2, one of the difference is that in GstV4l2Meta
there are now one mem pointer for each maped plane.
When not using multi-planar, this commit takes care of keeping
the same code path than previously. So that the 2 cases are
in two different blocks triggered from V4L2_TYPE_IS_MULTIPLANAR.

It's unfortunate to have to do this, but with the mix of tabs and space, plus all the random
indentation this header has become very hard to read.

On some systems (E.G. uClibc and older Glibc versions), O_CLOEXEC is only
defined when _GNU_SOURCE is specified, so do so.
_GNU_SOURCE needs to be defined before any system headers are included,
so move the fcntl.h section up.

show_frame is deferred to the main thread and can be called
when the sink has been released, so we need to keep an extra ref
on ObjectiveC object helper.

If the pool is stopped while gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf() waits for a
buffer then the return value is GST_FLOW_FLUSHING. In this case the buffer
to queue must also be released. Otherwise is will never be deleted or
returned to its pool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703764
gst_video_info_from_caps() always extract width, height, interlace mode and
framerate now. It is no longer necessary to do it again for encoded
formats.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703399
When setting timestamps on outgoing buffers, clear the
dts explicitly, otherwise it may end up being set to a
bogus value from last time it was used. Avoids every
second or so buffer's dts being set to 0. Not that it
should matter for raw video.
As cameras tend to have a quite specific set of capabilities (specific
framerates for each resolution), getting the peer caps filtered by our
probed caps can cause a big increase in the caps size which slows down
things quire a bit.
As for negotiation v4l2 iterates through the caps of the peer to find the
first intersection with the probed caps, getting the fully expanded
intersection of capabilities is not useful.
Using the same testcase as for bug #702632, adding this patch on top of
the patches suggested there speeds up getting the inital frame from
around ~14-15 seconds to around ~3-4 seconds.

The pool accesses data from the v4l2object so it must exist at least
as long as the pool. Refcount the element which controls the object
live-time.

In v2.6.18 control classes where added to the v4l2 API.
Iterating over CIDs starting with V4L2_CID_BASE will only find controls for
the first control class.
By iterating with V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL all controls are found.
This is necessary to make controls from other control classes available in
the extra-controls property.
If V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL is not defined at compile time or not supported
at runtime then the old mechanism for iterating is used.

Instead of just assuming a aspect ratio of 1/1 use VIDIOC_CROPCAP to ask
the device.
This also add a pixel-aspect-ratio property to overwrite the value from the
driver and a force-aspect-ratio property to ignore it.

Without this the following sequence fails:
- set_caps()
- object_stop() (does nothing)
- set_format() -> VIDIOC_S_FMT
- set_config() -> VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = N
- set_caps()
- object_stop()
- pool_finalize()
- set_format() -> VIDIOC_S_FMT => EBUSY
Usually the pool is started after set_config(), in which case object_stop()
will result in a pool_stop and therefore VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = 0 but
that is not guaranteed.
Also calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = 0 in pool_finalize() if necessary
fixes this problem.

This is a followup patch for #700781, which is not quite correct.
The buffer handling is quite complicated here.
The original code intended to the the following:
- gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_process() calls QBUF and adds the buffer to the
local list.
- The sink calls gst_buffer_unref() which returns the buffer to the pool
but not the 'free list'.
- Some time later DQBUF returns the buffer and
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() puts in on the 'free list'.
If the buffer must be copied then (parent_class)->acquire_buffer() is
called directly to keep the buffer in the pool.
This has two problems:
1. If gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() is called before the buffer is
returned to the pool, then the buffer is put on the 'free list' twice.
This can happen if a reference to the buffer is kept outside the sink,
of if DQBUF returns the buffer, that was just queued with QBUF.
2. If buffers are copied, then all buffers are in the pool at all times. As
a result gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_stop() and gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf()
can access pool->buffers at the same time, which can lead to memory
corruption.
The patch for #700781 fixes those problems, but with the side effect that
there are always buffers outside the pool (because they are queued) and
the pool is never stopped.
This patch fixes this by releasing the reference to the buffer after
handling it (to avoid problem 2.) so it can be returned to the pool.
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() is only called if the buffer is
already in the pool (to avoid problem 1.).

This makes it possible to set any controls that can be set with
VIDIOC_S_CTRL.
The controls are set when the property is set (if the device is open)
and when the device is opened.

Without this, a queued buffer may be required, filled and queued before it
is dequeued.
Calling gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() ensures that the buffer is set up
correctly and gst_buffer_unref() calls buffer_release().

This can happen if other parts of the pipeline are reconfigured.
Stop streaming even for a short amount of time can be quite visible, so it
should be avoided if possible.

When queuing a buffer for a sink, bytesused must contain the actual
amount of data.
For a source, the driver must overwrite this, so it doesn't matter
what is set here.

In the past gst_video_info_from_caps() only video/x-raw. Now it also
supports other video/* and image/* formats.
With this patch the format won't be GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKOWN and
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_set_config() handles strides correctly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699570
If max_buffers is 0 then an arbitrary number of buffers (currently 4) is
allocated. If this is not enough v4l2src starts copying buffers.
With this patch VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS is used to allocate a new buffer. If
this fails v4l2src falls back to copying buffers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699447
The existence of a GstVideoFormatInfo does not guarantee, that
the buffer contains video frames, so the format must be checked.
Also, for encoded buffers the length is variable and must be set.
