Some decoding APIs support delayed output for performance reasons.
One example would be to request decoding for multiple frames and
then query for the oldest frame in the output queue.
This also increases throughput for transcoding and improves seek
performance when supported by the underlying backend.
Introduce support in the mpeg2 base class, so that backends that
support render delays can actually implement it.

Downstream might need the start code offset when decoding.
Previously this computation would be scattered in multiple sites. This
is error prone, so move it to the base class. Subclasses can access
slice->sc_offset directly without computing the address themselves
knowing that the size will also take the start code into account.

The GstV4l2CodecAllocator dispose function clears `self->decoder` but
the finalize function then tries to use it if the allocator has no been
detached yet.
Fix by detaching in the dispose function before we clear
`self->decoder`.

Standard interlace handling:
* If we have interlace-mode=interleaved and the field order, we just
set it when creating the session
* If we have interlace-mode=(interleaved|mixed) and no field order, we
set the field order on the first buffer
The encoder session does not support changing the FieldDetail after it
has started encoding frames, so we cannot support mixed streams
correctly.

Meson now explicitly blacklists pkg-config.bat from Strawberry Perl and
thus building GStreamer on Windows has been fixed.
This allows for instance to build GStreamer on GitHub Action Windows
runners that have Strawberry Perl by default.
It is also useful when needing to build OpenSSL on the same Windows
machine because it requires Perl.

Delay decoders downstream negotiation just before an output frame
needs to be allocated.
This is required, are least for H.264 and H.265 decoders, since
codec_data might trigger a new sequence before finishing upstream
negotiation, and sink pad caps need to set before setting source pad
caps, particularly to forward HDR fields. The other decoders are
changed too in order to keep the same structure among them.

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.

We were checking if the start time of the gap event was
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, which is superfluous because that cannot happen,
and then not checking if it was NONE after gst_segment_to_running_time,
which caused a crash if an identity received a gap event fully or
partially outside the current segment.

.. if a current direction has already been set
When `webrtcbin` has created an offer based on codec_preferences,
it might not have received caps on its sinkpads by the time a
remote description is set, in which case we want to connect the
input stream upon actual reception of the caps instead.

With mpeg4videoparse drop=false config-interval=N|-1 we might be
trying to insert a config before we have actually received one,
in which case we'll try to map a NULL buffer which will generate
lots of criticals.
