CMBlockBuffer offers a model similar to GstBuffer, as it can
consist of multiple non-consecutive memory blocks.
Prior to this change, what we were doing was:
1) Incorrect:
CMBlockBufferCreateWithMemoryBlock does not copy the data,
but we gst_buffer_unmap'd right away.
2) Inefficient:
If the GstBuffer consisted of non-contiguous memory blocks,
gst_buffer_map resulted in malloc / memcpy.
With this change, we construct a CMBlockBuffer out of individual mapped
GstMemory objects. CMBlockBuffer is made to retain the GstMemory
objects (through the use of CMBlockBufferCustomBlockSource), so the
original GstBuffer can be unref'd.

CMBlockBufferGetDataLength would return the entire data length, while
size of individual blocks can be smaller. Iterate over the block buffer
and add the individual (possibly non-contiguous) memory blocks.

When AVFoundation indicates a supported frame rate range, add it to
the caps. This is important for devices such as the iPhone 6, which
indicate a single AVFrameRateRange of 2fps - 60fps.

Even when we fail to encode frame, we should still enqueue it so
it could be passed into handle_frame (with output_buffer == NULL).
Otherwise, we risk GstVideoEncoder's queue of frames growing unbounded.
Note: We're slightly changing the renegotiation code to accommodate for
frames without output buffers, but this commit takes no ownership over
the way negotiation is being done.

VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame retains the CVPixelBuffer during
encoding, and will release it as soon as it can (e.g. before it even
calls our callback). This means we can safely release input buffer
at this point, possibly allowing the system to reuse it sooner.

Copying arbitrary metas is going to cause problems and this should really be
handled by the base class. It overrides most other things already anyway,
including timestamp and duration. Those are just set here now so we can
insert the frame sorted into the queue.

This decoder does not work if width and height field are not set
in the sinkpad caps. Let's make this explicit by adding them to
the template caps.

It is incorrect to modify the frame properties after passing them, since
VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame takes reference and we have no control
over when it's being used.
In fact, the code can be simplified. We just preallocate the frame
properties for keyframe requests, and pass NULL otherwise.

Unless stopRequest is set, we should unlock conditionally -- otherwise,
the 'create:' method can wake up to an empty buffer queue
and pull a nil buffer.

while having the default vtdec at secondary rank. This allows decodebin/playbin
to prefer the hardware based decoders, and if that fails to initialize because
hardware resources are busy to fall back to e.g. the libav based h264 decoder
instead of the software based vtdec (which is slower), and only fall back to
the software based vtdec if there is no higher ranked decoder available.
Using requestMediaDataWhenReadyOnQueue the layer will execute a block
when it would like more frames. Using this we can provide the current
frame and avoid needlessly filling the layer's buffer queue causing
older frames to be displayed when under resource pressure.
Otherwise we might set bogus values or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.
Also make sure to reset the caps field to NULL after unreffing
the caps to prevent accidential use afterwards, and unref any
old caps before we remember new caps.
Use YUV instead of RGB textures, then convert using the new apple specific
shader in GstGLColorConvert. Also use GLMemory directly instead of using the
GL upload meta, avoiding an extra texture copy we used to have before.
When doing texture sharing we don't need to call CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress to
map the buffer in CPU. This cuts about 10% relative cpu time from a vtdec !
glimagesink pipeline.
