1. Removes the verification if the internal encoder is not opened
yet to allow the property setting.
2. And toggles on the base class' reconf flag for each property
variable that can be modified at run time.
3. Mark those modifiable properties as mutable while playing.
Currently the run-time modifiable properties are:
qpi, qpp, qpb, bitrate, target percentage, target usage and rate control
Other properties can be enabled too, but they need testing.

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have
changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

In fact, all the h264 bit writer have byte aligned output except
the slice header. So we change the API from bit size in unit to
byte size, which is easy to use. For slice header, we add a extra
"trail_bits_num" to return the unaligned bits number.

Handle when encoder doesn't support rate control, which is set as
VA_RC_NONE, and if the set rate control mode is not supported by the
GStreamer element, the element configuration fails.
Also it logs out max and target bitrate.

The entrypoint is set when the encoder helper is constructed,
nonetheless it was also passed as parameter when opening. That's
buggy.
In order to simplify the code, the entrypoint at construction is
honored.
But gst_va_encoder_has_profile_and_entrypoint() now doesn't rely in
the internal list of profiles since it only contains those that
belongs to codec and entrypoint, thus it queries directly the VA
driver.

Radeon mesa gallium driver has a bug which adds P010_10LE sink caps
format. This patch removes formats which arent 420 chroma.
gst_caps_set_format_array() wasn't used because the fix traverse
several structures with potential different formats.

The current way names the level by the number of B frames it contains, the
less it contains, the higher level it is. So the non ref B frames are in the
lowest layer and the B frames in the highest level refer to I/P frames.
But the widely used way is just the opposite, the ref B frames are in the
lower level and non ref B frames are at the highest level.
The is just a terminology change, and does not have any effect for compression
result and quality.

Added GstVaFeature enum type, and new parameter for VA allocator's
set_format() and get_format(). Also added a new parameter in VA pool
gst_va_pool_new_with_config() and
gst_buffer_pool_config_set_va_allocation_params().
This new parameter will define if derived images will by used for
buffer mapping.

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

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.

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.
