It was not working properly and the implementation of the smartencoder
element was weird. This introduce a number of changes (which are all
in one single commit because they basically all work together and lead
to basically reimplementing the element):
* Make smartencoder a bin so that the reencoding chain of elements are
inside of it instead of not having any parent. Those elements were not
be visible when dumping the pipeline which was very confusing.
* Make encodebin create the right encoder with a capsfilter (and parser)
to properly enforce the format specified by the user, and so that the
encoder properties specified in the encoding profile are respected.
* Use `decodebin` to do the decoding instead of selecting a decoder
ourself and not plug any parser etc...
* Ensure that negotiated format in the sinkpad of smart encoder is fixed
through time when the user requested a non dynamic output
* Add a parser at the beginning of the smart encoder
* Handle errors when reencoding
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/-/merge_requests/751>
Following the [design document] encodebin needs to handle sources that
output multiple streams, for that purpose and to make it simpler,
we ensure that a single segment is outputted to the encoders by using
an `identity single-segment=true` at the beginning of streams chains.
Added API to enable or disable the use of that new feature.
Added support for the encoding profile parser for that new property,
keeping backward compatibility

It was checking for GST_IS_CAPS only and that would fail if the new
restriction caps was NULL and its documentation says it accepts NULL as
valid input.
Instead of trying to guess what profile to build, just get the possible
elements to use with the specified caps and determine the
EncodingProfile from it.

Otherwise it won't be possible to specify some profiles such as
video/x-h264,profile=(string)high-4:4:4
With this patch, we can do
video/x-h264,profile=(string)high-4\:4\:4
It is often usefull to make sure that you get a full copy of a profile.
For example you want to let the user modify it in the user interface
but still keep an unchanged version for later use.

Instead of enforcing the user to know and understand caps to describe
the encoding format, let him use element factory names directly.
This also makes it possible to ensure that a specific encodore/muxer
is used instead of letting the ranking system do it.
It is now possible to describe an encoding format simply specifying:
matroskamux:x264enc:vobisenc
Factor out functions in the parsing, cleaning up the whole thing.
Update documentation.
parsed, framed, stream-format and alignment are only relevant for parsers and
should not matter here. We still want to be able to use an encoder that can
only output byte-stream if the input was avc.

If we e.g. have AVI with DV container with video/audio inside the DV
container, we can't handle this at this point with an encoding profile.
Instead of erroring out, flatten the container hierarchy.

When converting discoverer output to an encoding profile, it makes sense to
omit these. It's very very unlikely that our encoder is going to produce bit
by bit the same codec_data or streamheader.

When we run the loop for another time and do not have a preset name, we would
try to print the preset name of a previous iteration that is already freed.
Also move some other variables into the block where they are actually used
to prevent similar mistakes in the future.

Summary:
So that the user can easily use the same encoding profile to render
with/without audio/video stream.

In some cases, the user might want the stream outputted by encodebin to
be in the exact same format during all the stream. We should let the
user specify when this is the case. This commit add some API in the
GstEncodingProfile to determine whether the format can be renegotiated
after the encoding started or not.
API:
gst_encoding_profile_set_allow_dynamic_output
gst_encoding_profile_get_allow_dynamic_output
