When the driver does not implement ENUM_FRMESIZE for some specific
formats, the caps limiting the sizes may endup empty, which results in
assuming the driver can scale to any sizes.
Ensure that the original size is in the caps to prevent this assumption.
This happens with Hantro drive, since it only reply to that call if the
format is postprocessed.

Add helpers function to call VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS ioctl.
If the driver support this feature buffers are removed from the queue when:
- the pool when is detached from the decoded.
- the pool is released.
- allocation failed.

Use VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS ioctl to create buffers instead of VIDIOC_REQBUFS
because it allows to create buffers also while streaming.
To prepare the introduction of VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFFERS create
the buffers one per one instead of a range of them. This way
it can, in the futur, fill the holes.
gst_v4l2_decoder_request_buffers() is stil used to remove all
the buffers of the queue.

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.

In order to simplify caps negotiations for clients and, notably, be more
compatible with va* decoders.
Crucially this allows clients to know ahead of time whether buffers will
actually be DMABufs.
Similar to GstVaBaseDec we only announce system memory caps if the peer
has ANY caps. Further more, and again like va decoders, we fail in
`decide_allocation()` if DMA_DRM caps are used without VideoMeta.
Apart from buggy peers this can happen e.g. when a peer with ANY caps
is used in combination with caps filters.

Most importantly rely on video info helpers instead of manual parsing
of caps, which will allow us to use additional helpers in the future.
While on it, tighen the check for supported formats - failing that
indicates a bug in caps negotiation - and make some style changes.

This ensures we don't create filter caps that are not supported by the
individual codec implementations, as well as that the resulting caps
have the required fields so they can be turned into a GstVideoFormat.

We were previously always querying index 0, and while the number of planes per
buffer will never change, it seems more proper to query the right buffer rather
than always the first one.
This was found while reading strace logs, and wondering why the
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED flag was present on all ¬0 indices even though that
happened before VIDIOC_EXPBUF.

When decoding stream using hardware V4L2 decoder element, in any of the
currently supported formats, the decoding will fail once frame number
1000000 is reached. The reported error clearly indicates a wrap-around
occured, instead of receiving decoded frame 1000000, frame 0 is received
from the hardware V4L2 decoder driver.
The problem is actually not in the driver itself, but rather in gstreamer,
which uses `struct v4l2_buffer` member `.timestamp` in a special way. The
timestamp of buffers with encoded data added to the SINK (input) queue of
the driver is copied by the driver into matching buffers with decoded data
added to the SOURCE (output) queue of the driver. In fact, the timestamp
is not a timestamp at all, but rather in this special case, only part of
it is used as an incrementing frame counter.
The `.timestamp` is of type `struct timeval`, which is defined in
`sys/time.h` [1]. Only the `tv_usec` member of this structure is used
for the incrementing frame counter. However, suseconds_t tv_usec [2]
may be limited to range [-1, 1000000]:
"
[XSI] The type suseconds_t shall be a signed integer type capable of
storing values at least in the range [-1, 1000000].
"
Therefore, once frame 1000000 is reached, a rollover occurs and decoding
fails.
Fix this by using both `struct timeval` members, `.tv_sec` and `.tv_usec`
with matching modular arithmetic, this way the failure would occur again
just short of 2^84 frames, which should be plenty.

Produce an error if we try to use the feature of holding capture buffer
but it is not supported by the driver. Ingoring this can lead to stalls
as the driver will run-out of capture buffer to decode into. This
affects slice decoders but also split-field interlaced decoding.

Set minimum sizeimage such that there is enough space for any overhead
introduced by the codec.
Notably fix a vp9 issue in which a small image would not have a
bitstream buffer large enough to accomodate it.
