When gst_va_dmabuf_allocator_setup_buffer_full() receives info (not NULL) it is
supposed that this buffer is not part of the allocator pool, so it has to be
de-allocated as soon it is freed.
This patch sets the destroy notify of the assigned GstVaBufferSurface if info is
not NULL.

Use this standalone function to update the allocator info and make
all ensure_image() and mem_alloc() API clean.
We also change the default way of using image. We now set the non
derive manner as the default manner, and if it fails, then fallback
to the derived image manner.
On a lot of platforms, the derived image does not have caches, so the
read and write operations have very low performance.

Moving the parameters testing and setting from the allocator_alloc_full()
to the allocator_try(). The allocator_alloc_full() will be called every
time when we need to allocate a new memory. But all these parameters such
as the surface and the image format, rt_format, etc, are unchanged during
the whole allocator lifetime. Just setting them in set_format() is enough.

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

Every time a new surface is created the counter increases by one, and when it is
destroyed (or will be destroyed in case of GstVaAllocator), the counter is
decreased. Then, at allocator dispose, it is warning if the counter is not zero.
This counter will be also used to check if the allocator can change its
configuration if the counter is zero or can not.

1. Allocators don't implement memory free() methods since all the memories will
implement dispose() returning FALSE
2. Memory/miniobject dispose() will act as memory release, enqueueing the
release memory
3. A new allocator's method prepare_buffer() which queries the released memory
queue and will add the requiered memories to the buffer.
4. Allocators added a GCond to synchronize dispose() and prepare_buffer()
5. A new allocator's method flush() which will free for real the memories.
While the bufferpool will
1. Remove all the memories at reset_buffer()
2. Implement acquire_buffer() calling allocator's prepare_buffer()
3. Implement flush_start() calling allocator's flush()
4. start() is disabled since it pre-allocs buffers but also calls
our reset_buffer() which will drop the memories and later the
buffers are ditched, something we don't want. This approach avoids
buffer pre-allocation.

Renamed the first variable member of GstVaMemory from parent to mem in
order to avoid confusion with GstMemory's parent.
When freeing the structure, memory's parent is check in order to
decide if surfaces has to be destroyed or not, since only the parent
class have to destroy it.
Removed GST_MEMORY_FLAG_NO_SHARE in memory initialization, since it is
deprecated.
Implemented allocator's share virtual method which creates a new
shallow GstVaMemory structure based on the passed one which will be
it's parent.

This function will take an array of DMABuf GstMemory and an array of
fd, and create a VASurfaceID with those fds. Later that VASurfaceID is
attached to each DMABuf through GstVaBufferSurface.
In order to free the surface GstVaBufferSurface now have GstVaDisplay
member, and _buffer_surface_unref() were added.

There are, in VPP, surfaces that doesn't support 4:2:2 fourccs but it
supports the chroma. So this patch gives that opportunity to the
driver.
This patch also simplifiies
gst_va_video_surface_format_from_image_format() to just an iterator
for surfaces available formats.

Add a new parameter to _create_surfaces(): a pointer to
VASurfaceAttribExternalBuffers.
If it's defined the memory type is changed to DRM_PRIME, also a new item is
added to the VASurfaceAttrib array with
VASurfaceAttribExternalBufferDescriptor.
Also, the VASurfaceAttrib for pixel format is not mandatory anymore. If fourcc
parameter is 0, is not added in the array, relying on the chroma. This is
useful when creating surfaces for uploading or downloading images.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1529>
For the allocator to create surfaces with the correct chroma an
fourcc, it should use a surface format, not necessarily the negotiated
format.
Instead of the previous arbitrary extra formats list, the decoder
extracts the valid pixel formats from the given VA config, and pass
that list to the allocator which stores it (full transfer).
Then, when the allocator allocates a new surface, it looks for a
surface color format chroma-compatible with the negotiated image color
format.

New plugin with an element for H.264 decoding with VA-API. This novel
approach, different from gstreamer-vaapi, uses gstcodecs library for
state handling.
The code is expected to looks cleaner because it uses VA-API without
further layers or wrappers.
* It uses the first supported DRM device as default VA display (other
displays will be supported through user's GstContext)
* Requires libva >= 1.6
* No multiview/stereo profiles neither interlaced streams because
gstcodecs doesn't handle them yet
* It is incompatible with gstreamer-vaapi
* Even if memory:VAMemory is exposed, it is not handled yet by any
other element
* Caps templates are generated dynamically querying VAAPI, but YV12
and I420 are added for system memory caps because they seem to be
supported for all the drivers when downloading frames onto main
memory, as they are used by xvimagesink and others, avoiding color
conversion.
* Surfaces aren't bounded to context, so they can grow beyond the DBP
size, allowing smooth reverse playback.
* There isn't yet error handling and recovery.
* 10-bit H.264 streams aren't supported by libva.
