In some cases you want to ensure that a specific element factory is used
while requiring some specific caps but this was not possible. You can
now do `qtmux:video/x-prores,variant=standard|factory-name=avenc_prores_ks`
to ensure that the `avenc_prores_ks` factory is used to produce the
'standard' variant of prores video stream.
This also enhances a bit the documentation

The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

This counter is incremented once for every segment, meaning it would
e.g. overflow after 24 days when using 1ms segments. Once that happens,
completely wrong positions are reported and invalid memory is handed out
for writing/reading the next segments.
As the affected variables are unfortunately part of the public API of
the struct, a second set of variables is added together with accessor
functions and both variables are kept in sync for backwards
compatibility.
All existing users of the two variables are moved to the new ones but
external code might still run into the overflow.
This also slightly breaks API as external code updating the variables
will have no effect anymore but the only known user of this is
pulsesink.

If the muxer times out because of the latency deadline it can happen
that some pads have no caps yet. In that case skip creation of streams
for these pads and create updated section tables once the first buffer
arrives later.

This makes sure that for sparse streams (KLV, DVB subtitles, ...) the
muxer does not wait until the next buffer is available for them but
times out on the latency deadline and outputs data.
For non-live pipelines it will still be necessary for upstream to
correctly produce gap events for sparse streams.

* gst_ffmpegviddec_frame() is the only caller of gst_ffmpegviddec_video_frame()
and has the same signature. Just move the checks into a single function and
use that.
* Make it clear which frames are the input and output ones in
gst_ffmpegviddec_video_frame() to make issues like the one fixed in the previous
commit more obvious.

The FORCE_KEYFRAME frame which has GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME
bit set should be the sync point. So we should let it be an IDR frame to begin
a new GOP, rather than just promote it to an I frame.

__STDC_NO_ATOMICS doesn't seem to exist. In fact the only compiler
I've found that sets any of those is msvc, but it sets
__STDC_NO_ATOMICS__, not __STDC_NO_ATOMICS.
__STDC_NO_ATOMICS__ is the one documented by C11 standard.

This fixes the code regarding dropping "ghost frames", that is to say input
frames which ended up not producing any decoded frame.
The iteration itself makes sense.. but it was stopping at the "input" frame and
not the decoded frame we just got back.
When dealing with I-frame codecs, ffmpeg will decode frames in separate frames,
so there is no guarantee that they are decoding in order.

Set the P and B frame qp to I frame value to avoid generating delta
QP between different frame types. For ICQ and QVBR modes, we can
only set the qpi value, so the qpp and qpb values should be set to
the same value as the qpi.

There's nothing requiring <= 64 channels except for getting the reorder
map and creating a channel mixing matrix, but those won't be possible to
call anyway as channel positions can only express up to 64 channels.

Certain V4L2 fourccs don't (yet) have DRM counter parts, in which case
we can't create DMA_DRM caps for them. This is usually the case for
specific tilings, which are represented as modifiers for DMA formats.
While using these tilings is generally preferable - because of e.g.
lower memory usage - it can result in additional conversion steps when
interacting with DMA based APIs such as GL, Vulkan or KMS. In such cases
using a DMA compatible format usually ends up being the better option.
Before the addition of DMA_DRM caps, this was what playbin3 ended up
requesting in various cases - e.g. prefering NV12 over NV12_4L4 - but
the addition of DMA_DRM caps seems to confuse the selection logic.
As a simple and quite robust solution, assume that peers supporting
DMA_DRM caps always prefer these and reorder the caps accordingly.
In the future we plan to have a translation layer for cases where
there is a matching fourcc+modifier pair for a V4L2 fourcc, ensuring
optimal results.
