prpose_allocation:
-- always instantiate a pool for for upstream
-- use async_depth + 1 as min buffer count
decide_allocation:
-- always create a new bufferpool for source pad.
Each of the msdk element has to create it's own mfxsurfacepool
which is an msdk contraint. For eg: Each Msdk component (vpp, dec and
enc)
will invoke the external Frame allocator for video-memory usage
So sharing the pool between gst-msdk elements might not be a good idea.

Using the default value (InterleavedDec == MFX_SCANTYPE_UNKNOWN)
causing issues with non-interleaved sample decode. Ideally the usage
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader should fix these type of issue, but
it seems to be not. But hardcoding the InterleaveDec to
MFX_SCANTYPE_NONINTERLEAVED
is fixing the problem and fortunately msdk seems to be taking care of
Interleaved samples
too .So let's hardcode it for now.

This patch includes:
1\ Implements MsdkDmaBufAllocator and allocation of msdk dmabuf memroy.
2\ Each msdk dmabuf memory include its own msdk surface kept by GQuark.
3\ Adds new option GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_MSDK_USE_DMABUF
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793707
There needs to be generalized for the parameter from
GstVideoMsdkVideoMemory to GstMemory.
Thus we can call these functions if using DMABuf memory.

For example, if framerate 0/1 is provided from upstream, the driver
fails to configure and complain about it.
We can let it go and make the driver assuming framerate itself.

There was not handling the end of encoding sequence in encoder.
This patch does drain any remaining internal streams while decoder
already does this.
Document says:
"To mark the end of the encoding sequence, call this function with a
NULL surface
pointer. Repeat the call to drain any remaining internally cached
bitstreams—one
frame at a time—until MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA is returned."

Sometimes parent context is released before its children get released.
In this case MFXClose of parent session fails.
To make sure that child sessions are closed before closing a parent
session,
Parent context needs to manage child sessions and close them first when
it's released.

Currently a gst buffer has one mfxFrameSurface when it's allocated and
can't be changed.
This is based on that the life of gst buffer and mfxFrameSurface would
be same.
But it's not true. Sometimes even if a gst buffer of a frame is finished
on downstream,
mfxFramesurface coupled with the gst buffer is still locked, which means
it's still being used in the driver.
So this patch does this.
Every time a gst buffer is acquired from the pool, it confirms if the
surface coupled with the buffer is unlocked.
If not, replace it with new unlocked one.
In this way, user(decoder or encoder) doesn't need to manage gst buffers
including locked surface.
To do that, this patch includes the following:
1. GstMsdkContext
- Manages MSDK surfaces available, used, locked respectively as the
following:
1\ surfaces_avail : surfaces which are free and unused anywhere
2\ surfaces_used : surfaces coupled with a gst buffer and being used
now.
3\ surfaces_locked : surfaces still locked even after the gst buffer
is released.
- Provide an api to get MSDK surface available.
- Provide an api to release MSDK surface.
2. GstMsdkVideoMemory
- Gets a surface available when it's allocated.
- Provide an api to get an available surface with new unlocked one.
- Provide an api to release surface in the msdk video memory.
3. GstMsdkBufferPool
- In acquire_buffer, every time a gst buffer is acquired, get new
available surface from the list.
- In release_buffer, it confirms if the buffer's surface is unlocked or
not.
- If unlocked, it is put to the available list.
- If still locked, it is put to the locked list.
This also fixes bug #793525.

Since there is already an "adaptive-B" option, just
use boolean property for B-pyramid enabling.
Fixme: Not sure whether this can be supported in vp8 and vp9.
It could be possible through GPB (b without backward ref) but
can't verify currently. We can move this as common property
once verified with vp8 and vp9 without breaking any backward
compatibility.

Add a new property "trellis" to enable trellis quantization.
Keeping trellis as a flag value (which is boolean for gst x264 enc element)
since it is possible to enable/disable this seperately for
I,P and B frames through MediaSDK ext option headers.
The subclass implementations always need to inform base-encoder
if it requires the inclusion of Extend Header buffers (mfxExtCodingOption2
and mfxExtCodingOption3).

This option controls down sampling in look ahead bitrate
control mode. According to spec it is only supported in AVC.
Fixme: Probably HEVC also have support for this in recent
MSDK versions. We could move the enumeration types to common
header usable for multiple codecs.

MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.
