I'm going to use this new API in gst-omx so an encoder can request
v4l2src to produce buffers matching the encoder stride and slice heights
preventing copies of incoming buffers.
By adding this field, buffer producers can now explicitly set the exact
geometry of planes, allowing users to easily know the padded size and
height of each plane.
GstVideoMeta is always heap allocated by GStreamer itself so we can
safely extend it.
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
The current GstVideoRegionOfInterestMeta API allows elements to detect
and name ROI but doesn't tell anything about how this information is
meant to be consumed by downstream elements.
Typically, encoders may want to tweak their encoding settings for a
given ROI to increase or decrease their quality.
Each encoder has its own set of settings so that's not something that
can be standardized.
This patch adds encoder-specific parameters to the meta which can be
used to configure the encoding of a specific ROI.
A typical use case would be: source ! roi-detector ! encoder
with a buffer probe on the encoder sink pad set by the application.
Thanks to the probe the application will be able to tell to the encoder
how this specific region should be encoded.
Users could also develop their specific roi detectors meant to be used with a
specific encoder and directly putting the encoder parameters when
detecting the ROI.

Instead of returning the first video meta found on a buffer, return the
one with the lowest id (which is usually the same thing, except on
multi-view buffers)
allows configuration of whether GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta is
added to buffers resulting from a buffer pool. This is sperate
to the caps feature in that an element may want to add the upload
meta itself rather than allowing the buffer pool to.

This allows elements to specify a function to upload
a buffer content to a specific OpenGL texture ID. It
could be used by the vaapi elements to provide a way
for eglglessink or WebKit to upload a VA surface to
an GL texture without the respective sinks knowing
anything about VA.
Rename the frame_flags to flags. Because they are flags on the frame object it
does not need the redundant frame_ prefix.
Change the order of the metadata constructor so that the flags come before the
format and dimension arguments.
There's a new GstVideoFrameFlags enum now that contains the frame
specific flags only. GstVideoFlags does not contain the TFF/TFF/ONEFIELD
flags anymore because these are strictly frame specific.
Also add fallback to parse these fields from the GstBufferFlags in
gst_video_frame_map() if there's no GstVideoMeta attached to the buffer.
Install defaul map/unmap function on the metadata and really call the functions
instead of always calling a default implementation.
Rework some bits so that we don't have to mess with the GstMapInfo information
(adding the offset), instead pass the adjusted data pointer from the map function.
