The default memory allocator of the decklink library allocates
a fixed pool of buffers, and the number of buffers is unknown.
This makes it impossible do useful queuing downstream. The new
memory allocator can create an unlimited number of buffers,
giving all queuing features one would expect from a live source.

In this patch we keep track of the cached kmsmem in a way
that we can clear the cache during the drain process. This
release the framebuffer before waiting for the next vblank,
hence add support for DRM driver (like Intel one) that release
the associated DMABuf reference asynchronously.

kmssink keeps a reference on the last rendered buffer. If this buffer
refers to an upstream buffer, it should be should be released on DRAIN
and ALLOCATION queries so all upstream buffers can be returned to the
pool if needed. As the buffer may be used for scanout, we copy this
buffer into a dumb buffer prior to let it go.

This otherwise breaks DMABuf reclaiming. This is not visible from
userspace, but inside the kernel, the DRM driver will hold a ref to the
DMABuf object. With a V4L2 driver allocating those DMABuf, it then
prevent changing the resolution and re-allocation new buffers.

Milliseconds was wrong and made use of this timeout quite
confusing. The code uses the value as microsenconds so
any meaningful number was off by orders of magnitude.
Set the pts and dts on the frame that we receive from the msdk.
Also fix the inverted logic in setting sync points, previously we
were marking all frames as sync points except IDRs.

When extracting an aux buffer from an MJPG carrier, at
*least* put the original timestamp on it, even if we
fail to apply any other timestamp (which we always do
at the moment, because the timestamp calculating code
was never finished). Apply a DTS using the camera
supplied delay value as well, assuming that there's
no re-ordering going on (there isn't in the C920,
which is really the only extant camera doing this
stuff) and a warning if that turns out not to be true.
This is basically a frame counter provided by the driver and it's
advancing at the speed of the HDMI/SDI input. Having this available on
each buffer allows to know what constant-framerate-based timestamp each
frame is corresponding to and can be used e.g. to write out files
accordingly without having the local pipeline clock timestamps used.

The main advantage is that our sleeps can be interrupted in case of
an src_reset(). Earlier, we would need to wait for a read to complete
before we could do a reset, which could take a long time.

The audio packet times can be completely unrelated to the video stream
time, depending on the card. While this looks like a bug in the driver,
just always using the video stream time (which is correct) works as a
workaround for now.
Earlier, the plugin was ignoring those settings and blindly setting
buffer-time to 2 seconds and latency-time to 200ms, which forced all
pipelines to have a minimum latency of 200ms + sink latency.
The values of segsize and segtotal were also not derived correctly.
Now we obey these values, and you can get close to the previous
behaviour by setting buffer-time and latency-time manually. Note that
they are set in microseconds.
As a consequence, when we haven't received enough data from the
device, we now sleep for a time proportional to the data remaining.
However, Directsound is a deprecated API so it maintains its own
software ringbuffer which updates at arbitrary intervals. Hence we
might have to wait a full segsize to get the last 10% of data. To
avoid tight loops, we clamp our sleep floor at 10ms.
In my testing, this keeps the wakeups not-too-high (proportional to
the latency-time set on the source). Further improvements should be
made by fixing the WASAPI audio source plugin instead of this.
Directsound is deprecated and as the comments explain, it is
impossible to get low latency, decent quality, or good performance
from it.

This reverts commit 845832263b.
The commit broke cross-mingw CI:
https://ci.gstreamer.net/job/GStreamer-master/8659/console
It seems that cross-mingw on Autotools and native-mingw on Meson
disagree about the size of HRESULT. Revert for now till I can
investigate the Meson side of things some more.
MinGW does not provide comsupp.lib, so there's no implementation of
_com_util::ConvertBSTRToString. Use a fallback implementation that
uses wcstombs() instead.
On MinGW we also truncate the name to 100 chars which should be fine.
The QTKit framework had been deprecated for long in favour of AVFundation
framework and we already have avfvideosrc that provides the same
functionality.

MediaCodec gives us a presentation timestamp of 0 if it does not know
anything, but GStreamer gives us GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE. Don't mix up these
two.

This reverts commit 6d256d9908.
It was configuring the period/buffer size in a way that often causes
drop-outs or complete underruns. Needs further investigation.
