VUI(Video Usability Information) parameters should be set
according to the specification. However, some of the existing
hardware decoders refuse to decode in certain combinations of
the resolution and VUI parameters. To support the legacy
decoders, this patch provides 'insert-vui' to skip the settings.

Move creation of supported sink pads into class_init function
which is also the only place where they're used. Unref the
caps when no longer needed, the pad template will take its
own ref.

If the caps are interlaced, interlacing is always enabled on the
encoder. If the interlace-mode field is missing or if it's progressive,
the encoder uses the "interlaced" property.

x264 has to be compiled specifically for a target bit depth.
Distributions currently ship various libraries in their packages, with
different bit depths.
This change now allows to provide them all at configure time and have
the x264enc element dynamically switch between them based on the bit
depth of the input format.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
_stdint.h is generated by Autotools and we don't really need it. All
supported platforms now ship with stdint.h. The only stickler was MSVC,
and since Visual Studio 2015 it also ships stdint.h now.
Don't artificially limit the bitrate, x264enc allows much
higher bitrates, and for intra-only 4k AVC they are needed.
x264 clips to 2Gbps internally, so use that as limit for now.

This method replace the manual adjustment of PTS and DTS to avoid
negative DTS issues. Using this method will also update the segment so
we don't loos sync.

Provide new frame-packing property to directly set
x264enc frame packing, or pass through upstream settings
The explicit layout from the frame-packing property is
preferred over any info from the caps.
The meaning of the max latency is *not* the maximum latency this element will
introduce. It is the maximum latency this element can endure without
overflowing any buffers, which is infinite for x264enc.
Fixes latency configuration in zero latency mode, where max latency was
becoming 0... which usually won't work well if something else introduces
latency as then max < min in the end, and latency configuration just fails.
There is no reason x264enc should enforce a maximum allocation size.
The maximum is normally set by buffer pool which cannot grow, but we
don't offer a buffer pool. This would lead to stall when used with
element that don't implement allocation query.

Currently we only shift DTS to compensate that we don't support negative
timestamp. This cause a problem that PTS is no longer >= DTS and may
make muxers live much harder. Instead, shift both PTS/DTS forward. Also
remove all the hack to handle this which seems the result of thinking libx264
is bugged.
