Instead of using a hard-coded list of preferred formats according the
chroma type, now if now caps are pre-negotiated, from template caps
will choose the first format with the same chroma type. If
pre-negotiated, then it will choose the first format, with same chroma
type, from the first caps structure.
Also all the decoders will check if GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN is
returned, failing the negotiation.

Make all codecs consistent so that subclass can know additional DPB
size requirement depending on render-delay configuration regardless
of codec. Note that render-delay feature is not implemented for AV1
yet but it's planned.
Also, consider new_sequence() is mandatory requirement, not optional

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the
picture will populate the DPB if it is a key-frame. To ensure this, remove the
default implementation.

Using GstBaseDec hack to access the parent_object of each element in
the element itself is a bit fragile. It would be better to keep its
own parent object as the usual global variable. It would make it
resistant to code changes.
The GstBaseDec macro to access the parent object now it's internal to
base decoder.
