In P-pictures, prediction shall be made from the two most recently
decoded reference fields. However, when the first I-frame is a field,
the next field of the current picture could be a P-picture but only a
single field was decoded so far. In this case, create a dummy picture
with POC = -1 that will be used as reference.
Some VA drivers would error out if P-pictures don't have a forward
reference picture. This is true in general but not in this very specific
initial case.
Allow fallback from simple to main profile when the HW decoder does
not support the former profile and that no sequence_header_extension()
is available to point out this.
Introduce a POC field in GstVaapiPicture so that to store simpler sequential
numbers. A signed 32-bit integer should be enough for 1 year of continuous
video streaming at 60 Hz.
Use this new POC value to maintain the DPB, instead of 64-bit timestamps.
This also aligns with H.264 that will be migrated to GstVaapiDpb infrastructure.
Always prefer PTS from the demuxer layer for GOP times. If this is invalid,
i.e. demuxer could not determine the PTS or the generated PTS is lower than
max PTS from past pictures, then try to fix it up based on the duration of
a frame.
For picture PTS, simply use the GOP PTS formerly computed then use TSN to
reconstruct a current time. Also now handle wrapped TSN correctly.
Some streams, badly constructed, could have signaled an interlaced
frame while the sequence was meant to be progressive. Warn and force
frame to be progressive in this case.
Add first-field (FF) flag to GstVaapiPicture, thus not requiring is_first_field
member in each decoder. Rather, when a GstVaapiPicture is created, it is considered
as the first field. Any subsequent allocated field will become the second field.
Add top-field-first (TFF) and interlaced flags to GstVaapiPicture so they
could be propagated to the surface proxy when it is pushed for rendering.
Besides, top and bottom fields are now expressed with picture structure flags
from GstVaapiSurfaceRenderFlags.
Some streams have incorrect GOP timestamps, or nothing set at all.
i.e. GOP time is 00:00:00 for all GOPs. Try to recover in this case
from demuxer timestamps, which are monotonic.

Skip all pictures prior to the first sequence_header(). Besides,
skip all picture_data() if there was no prior picture_header().

VA-API expects slice_vertical_position as the initial position from the
bitstream. i.e. the direct slice() information. VA drivers will be fixed
accordingly.
Original values from sequence_header() are 12-bit and the remaining
2 most significant bits are coming from sequence_extension().

6.3.15 says that "some slices may have the same slice_vertical_position,
since slices may start and finish anywhere". So, we can't submit the current
picture to the HW right away since subsequent slices would be missing.
The new API simplifies a lot reference counting and makes it more
flexible for future additions/changes. The GstVaapiCodecInfo is
also gone. Rather, new helper macros are provided to allocate
picture, slice and quantization matrix parameter buffers.
