Drop support for user-defined data since this capability was not used
so far and GstVaapiMiniObject represents the smallest reference counted
object type. Add missing GST_VAAPI_MINI_OBJECT_CLASS() helper macro.
Besides, since GstVaapiMiniObject is a libgstvaapi internal object, it
is also possible to further simplify the layout of the object. i.e. merge
GstVaapiMiniObjectBase into GstVaapiMiniObject.
Keep only one DPB interface and rename gst_vaapi_dpb2_get_references()
to gst_vaapi_dpb_get_neighbours() so that to retrieve pictures in DPB
around the specified picture POC.
Move GstVaapiDpbMpeg2 API to a more generic version that could also be
useful to other decoders that require 2 reference pictures, e.g. VC-1.

In P-pictures, prediction shall be made from the two most recently
decoded reference fields. However, when the first I-frame is a field,
the next field of the current picture could be a P-picture but only a
single field was decoded so far. In this case, create a dummy picture
with POC = -1 that will be used as reference.
Some VA drivers would error out if P-pictures don't have a forward
reference picture. This is true in general but not in this very specific
initial case.
Introduce a POC field in GstVaapiPicture so that to store simpler sequential
numbers. A signed 32-bit integer should be enough for 1 year of continuous
video streaming at 60 Hz.
Use this new POC value to maintain the DPB, instead of 64-bit timestamps.
This also aligns with H.264 that will be migrated to GstVaapiDpb infrastructure.
