acf106e1a7 libs: encoder: vp8,h264,h265,mpeg2: refactor misc parameters
This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.

It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.

I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.

37b81a7b69 libs: encoder: use VA quality level structure
Instead of using a proxy to story the buffer quality level, the
encoder now uses the native VA structure, which is copied to the
dynamically allocated VAEncMiscParameterBuffer.

This approach is computationally less expensive.

ed3360bf3b libs: encoder: check for maximum number of slices
Right now, H264 and HEVC can set as a property the number of slices to
process. But each driver can set a maximum number of slices, depending
on the supported profile & entry point.

This patch verifies the current num_slices to process against the maximum
permitted by the driver and the media size.

4f343f82e3 encoders: add quality level tuning
This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:

  The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
  implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
  through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
  until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
  through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
  higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
  level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
  consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
  consumption.

The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.

Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".

All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

4481c155b8 encoder: notify the encoder of the submitted packed headers.
Make sure to configure the encoder with the set of packed headers we
intend to generate and submit. i.e. make selection of packed headers
to submit more robust.

1dc9837dd9 encoder: fix and factor out check for supported rate-control modes.
Cache the first compatible GstVaapiProfile found if the encoder is not
configured yet. Next, factor out the code to check for the supported
rate-control modes by moving out vaGetConfigAttributes() to a separate
function, while also making sure that the attribute type is actually
supported by the encoder.

Also fix the default set of supported rate control modes to not the
"none" variant. It's totally useless to expose it at this point.

71113e4999 encoder: h264: only submit packed headers when required.
Make sure to submit the packed headers only if the underlying VA driver
requires those. Currently, only handle packed sequence and picture
headers.

21c95dbc42 encoder: add tuning options API.
Add encoder "tune" option to override the default behaviour that is to
favor maximum decoder compatibility at the expense of lower compression
ratios.

Expected tuning options to be developed are:
- "high-compression": improve compression, target best-in-class decoders;
- "low-latency": tune for low-latency decoding;
- "low-power": tune for encoding in low power / resources conditions.

850a637d0f encoder: filter out the supported set of rate-control properties.
Only expose the exact static set of supported rate-control properties
to the upper layer. For instance, if the GstVaapiEncoderXXX class does
only support CQP rate control, then only add it the the exposed enum
type.

Add helper macros and functions to build a GType for an enum subset.

59229b20a5 encoder: add keyframe period API.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_keyframe_period() interface to allow the
user control the maximum distance between two keyframes. This new
property can only be set prior to gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state().

A value of zero for "keyframe-period" gets it re-evaluated to the
actual framerate during encoder reconfiguration.

8788ea99a8 encoder: improve codec reconfiguration.
Improve codec reconfiguration to be performed only through a single
function. That is, remove the _set_context_info() hook as subclass
should not alter the parent GstVaapiContextInfo itself. Besides, the
VA context is constructed only at the final stages of reconfigure().

5394c75461 encoder: add video codec-state API.
Add interface to communicate the encoder resolution and related info
like framerate, interlaced vs. progressive, etc. This new interface
supersedes gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() and doesn't use any GstCaps
but rather use GstVideoCodecState.

Note that gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state() is also a synchronization
point for codec config. This means that the encoder is reconfigured
there to match the latest properties.

dcc7a94408 encoder: add properties API.

70b3600f11 encoder: add bitrate API.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_bitrate() interface to allow the user control
the bitrate for encoding. Currently, changing this parameter is only
valid before the first frame is encoded. Should the value be modified
afterwards, then GST_VAAPI_ENCODER_STATUS_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILED is
returned.

a24c52e4d0 encoder: add rate control API.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_rate_control() interface to request a new
rate control mode for encoding. Changing the rate control mode is
only valid prior to encoding the very first frame. Afterwards, an
error ("operation-failed") is issued.

fd9c855f14 encoder: simplify VA context initialization process.
Change get_context_info() into a set_context_info() function that
initializes common defaults into the base class, thus allowing the
subclasses to specialize the context info further on.

The set_context_info() hook is also the location where additional
context specific data could be initialized. At this point, we are
guaranteed to have valid video resolution size and framerate. i.e.
gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() was called beforehand.

2f5e5f0784 encoder: clean-ups and document public APIs.
Clean public APIs up so that to better align with the decoder APIs.
Most importantly, gst_vaapi_encoder_get_buffer() is changed to only
return the VA coded buffer proxy. Also provide useful documentation
for the public APIs.

26726b18fc encoder: avoid extra allocations of GstVaapiEncoderSyncPic objects.
Kill GstVaapiEncoderSyncPic objects that are internally and temporarily
allocated. Rather, associate a GstVaapiEncPicture to a coded buffer
through GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy user-data facility.

Besides, use a GAsyncQueue to maintain a thread-safe queue object of
coded buffers.

8ecc35ecf2 encoder: fix subclassing process.
Fix the GstVaapiEncoderClass parent class type. Make sure to validate
subclass hooks as early as possible, i.e. in gst_vaapi_encoder_init(),
thus avoiding useless run-time checks. Also simplify the subclass
initialization process to be less error prone.

0fb7c60508 encoder: rework GstVaapiCodedBuffer and related proxy.
Refactor the GstVaapiCodedBuffer APIs so that to more clearly separate
public and private interfaces. Besides, the map/unmap APIs should not
be exposed as is but appropriate accessors should be provided instead.

* GstVaapiCodedBuffer: VA coded buffer abstraction
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_get_size(): get coded buffer size.
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_copy_into(): copy coded buffer into GstBuffer

* GstVaapiCodedBufferPool: pool of VA coded buffer objects
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_pool_new(): create a pool of coded buffers of
  the specified max size, and bound to the supplied encoder

* GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy: pool-allocated VA coded buffer object proxy
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_new_from_pool(): create coded buf from pool
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer(): get underlying coded buffer
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer_size(): get coded buffer size

Rationale: more optimized transfer functions might be provided in the
future, thus rendering the map/unmap mechanism obsolete or sub-optimal.
