When input is in AVC format there is no need to wait for the first buffer
before setting src caps. We already have all the information from the
input codec_data.
This allow us to already configure downstream elements allowing them,
for example, to already allocate their internal buffers as they know
the format of the input they are about to receive.

Try prioritizing downstream's caps over upstream's if possible so the
parser can configured in "passthrough" if possible and save it from
doing useless conversions.

Inserts AU delimeter by default if missing au delimeter from upstream.
This should be done only in case of byte-stream format.
Note that:
We have to compensate for the new bytes added for the AU, otherwise
insertion of PPS/SPS will use wrong offsets and overwrite wrong data.
Also mark the AU delimiter blob const, and use frame->out_buffer for
storing the output to keep baseparse assumptions valid.

Those are the rules:
In the SPS:
* if frame_mbs_only_flag=1 => all frame progressive
* if frame_mbs_only_flag=0 => field_pic_flag defines if each frame is
progressive or interlaced, thus the mode is 'mixed' in GStreamer
terms.

MSVC warns about this because it's a C++ compiler, and this actually
results in useful things such as the incorrect 'gboolean' return value
for functions that return GstFlowReturn, so let's do explicit
conversions to reduce the noise and increase its efficacy.
When skipping data, check if they are filler bytes. If so, drop the
data instead of skipping. We don't want to output filler bytes, but they
shouldn't cause a discontinuity.

If the input alignment claims AU alignment, each received
buffer should contain a complete video frame, so never hold over parts
of buffers for later processing. Also reduces latency, as packets
are parsed/converted and output immediately instead of 1 buffer
later.
Fixes a problem where an (arguably disallowed) padding byte on the
end of a buffer is detected as an extra byte in the following
start code, and messes up the timestamping that should apply to
that start code.
We get into this code path if the profile is already constrained-baseline and
downstream does not support constrained-baseline. So we should try baseline
and the other compatible profiles.

The parser handles the downstream force-key-unit event incorrectly,
it tries to parse it as an upstream force-key-unit event, does not
check the return value, and then uses uninitialized memory in
"all_headers" boolean variable.

Enabling passthorugh mode is causing multiple issue:
For nal aligned multiresoluton streams, passthrough mode
make h264parse unable to advertise the new resoultions.
Also causing issues while parsing MVC streams which have two
separate layers (base-view and non-base-view).
This fix is only a temporary workaround.
For MVC, proper fixes needed in many places:
(handle prefix nal unit, handle non-base-view slice nal extension,
fix the picture_start detection for multi-layer-mvc streams etc)

Since commit b77f8e172a the new value
assigned to mview_mode hasn't been used. That commit changed the following
"if" check to an "else if", which means the original value of mview_mode
is used.
When converting from avc to byte-stream, there will not be any codec_data
in the src caps. Remove it before the equality check to avoid sending caps
events downstream on every SPS/PPS change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761014
If we have a stream that contains an unchanging SPS/PPS for every video frame,
we don't need to to constantly query downstream for it's supported caps if the
current caps are compatible with the negotiated caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761014
This is to support byte-stream decoder that does not remember the
PPS/SPS after a flush. This is not needed by all decoders, but is
harmless for those that do remember.

As it's recursive, gst_pad_get_allowed_caps() may also return
empty for anything incompatible downstream. EMPTY is not valid caps
value for gst_caps_fixate(). This lead to assertion and then crash.
Ideally, the negotiate function should be re-factored to have a return
value, and we could make the negotiation fails earlier.

The SPS struct might be filled out by a call to
gst_h264_parser_parse_subset_sps, which fills out
dynamically allocated data and requires a call
to gst_h264_sps_clear() to free it. Also make sure
to clear out any allocated SPS data when returning
an error.

Don't throw away AU delimiter(s) that precede the SPS/PPS. Should
fix MPEG-TS playback on iOS/Quicktime when muxing streams that
already have AU delimiters.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736213 for getting
h264parse to insert AU delimiters when they don't already
exist.
Move the pixel-aspect-ratio calculations higher up in caps
determination, so the results are available for a call to
gst_video_multiview_guess_half_aspect() when stereoscopic video
is detected.
Wait until at least one keyframe has been parsed before
deciding to switch to passthrough mode, in case the
stream contains SEI messages that supplement the output
caps - for example by providing stereoscopic information
Like SPS/PPS they do contain information which will be needed to
decode the following data (as per definition of the flag)
Also ensures that the series of SPS/PPS/SEI NALU before a keyframe
can be considered as one contiguous header
Don't use the apis in codec-utils to extract the profile and level
syntax elements since it is wrong if there are emulation prevention
bytes existing in the byte-stream data.

The detection for missing format/alignment is done way before this
codepath is reached (at which point we have already decided of a
format and alignment).
CID #1232800
This prevents it from going into passthrough after receiving 2
byte-stream caps (different ones) as it would keep the have_pps and
have_sps set to true and would just go into passthrough without
updating its caps.
This patch makes it reset its stream information to restart properly
when new caps are received.

This patch calls gst_h264_parser_parse_subset_sps() when a
SPS subset NAL type is found.
All the bits required for parsing the SPS subset in NALs were
already there, just we need to call them when the this NAL type
is found.
With this parsing, the number of views (minus 1) attribute is
filled, which was a requirement for negotiating the stereo-high
profile.

Initial support for MVC NAL units. It is only needed to propagate the
complete set of NAL units downstream at this time.

Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice. So we should relax the
profile restriction for allowing the decoder to get connected with parser.
