Move common VA display creation code to GstVaapiPluginBase, with the
default display type remaining "any". Also add a "display-changed"
hook so that subclasses could perform additional tasks when/if the
VA display changed, due to a new display type request for instance.
All plug-ins are updated to cope with the new internal APIs.
Introduce a new GstVaapiPluginBase object that will contain all common
data structures and perform all common tasks. First step is to have a
single place to hold VA displays.
While we are at it, also make sure to store and subsequently release
the appropriate debug category for the subclasses.
Port vaapidecode and vaapisink plugins to GStreamer API >= 1.0. This
is rather minimalistic so that to test the basic functionality.
Disable vaapiupload, vaapidownload and vaapipostproc plugins. The latter
needs polishing wrt. to GStreamer 1.x functionality and the former are
totally phased out in favor of GstVaapiVideoMemory map/unmap facilities,
which are yet to be implemented.

Move GstVaapiVideoMeta from core libgstvaapi decoding library to the
actual plugin elements. That's only useful there. Also inline reference
counting code from GstVaapiMiniObject.
Use gst_element_class_set_static_metadata() from GStreamer 1.0, which
basically is the same as gst_element_class_set_details_simple() in
GStreamer 0.10 context.
Move GstImplementsInterface and GstVideoContext support functions up
so that to keep a clear separation between the plugin element and its
interface hooks.
Update plugin elements with the new GstVaapiVideoMeta API.
This also fixes support for subpictures/overlay because GstVideoDecoder
generates a sub-buffer from the GstVaapiVideoBuffer. So, that sub-buffer
is marked as read-only. However, when comes in the textoverlay element
for example, it checks whether the input buffer is writable. Since that
buffer read-only, then a new GstBuffer is created. Since gst_buffer_copy()
does not preserve the parent field, the generated buffer in textoverlay
is not exploitable because we lost all VA specific information.
Now, with GstVaapiVideoMeta information attached to a standard GstBuffer,
all information are preserved through gst_buffer_copy() since the latter
does copy metadata (qdata in this case).
Try to allocate the GstVaapiUploader helper object prior to listing the
supported image formats. Otherwise, only a single generic caps is output
with no particular pixel format referenced in there.
Use GstVaapiUploader helper that automatically handles direct rendering
mode, thus making the "direct-rendering" property obsolete and hence it
is now removed.
The "direct-rendering" level 2, i.e. exposing VA surface buffers, was never
really well supported and it could actually trigger degraded performance.

If vaapisink is in the GStreamer pipeline, then we shall allocate a
unique GstVaapiDisplay and propagate it upstream. i.e. subsequent
queries from vaapidecode shall get a valid answer from vaapisink.
This flag is obsolete. It was meant to explicitly enable/disable VA/GLX API
support, or fallback to TFP+FBO if this API is not found. Now, we check for
the VA/GLX API by default if --enable-glx is set. If this API is not found,
we now default to use TFP+FBO.
Note: TFP+FBO, i.e. using vaPutSurface() is now also a deprecated usage and
will be removed in the future. If GLX rendering is requested, then the VA/GLX
API shall be used as it covers most usages. e.g. AMD driver can't render to
an X pixmap yet.
Bump GStreamer required version to 0.10.14, needed for
gst_element_class_set_details_simple().
