need_reconfig is added to allow sub class requires a reconfig when
the input frame or the MetaData (e.g. GstVideoRegionOfInterestMeta)
attached to the input frame is changed.
Renegotiation was implemented for bitrate change. We can re-use
the same sequence when video info changes except that this can be
executed right away when receiving the new input format. I.e. no
need to wait for the next call to handle_frame.
In future, a sub class of GstMsdkEncClass may decide a native format by
using this method, e.g. JPEG encoder may accept YUY2 input, however the
current implemation needs a conversion from YUY2 to NV12 before encoding.
In addtion, a sub class may choose a format for encoding if the input
format is not supported by MSDK, e.g. the current implemation does
UYVY->NV12 if the input format is UYVY. We may do UYVY->YUY2 for JPEG
encoder in future
Upon bitrate change, make sure to close the encoder otherwise
the encoder is not re-initialized and the target bitrate is
never reached, and the encoder was flushed at each frame
from this moment.
Regression introduced in f2b35abcab which replaced the call
that was closing the encoder by an early return to avoid
re-initialization.
When the bitrate is changed in playing state the encoder issues a reconfig
that drains and recreates the underlaying hw encoder instance.
With this set of changes we ensure that all this work is only made when
the bitrate did actually change. It also tries to reuse the vpp buffer
pool and fixes the pool leak spotted when testing this feature.
Add new macro for sink/src pad template to ensure no DMABuf caps
features are exposed on Windows. Some DMABuf caps features
were not handled by the commit 9ec62418c3
Both g_list_delete_link and g_list_remove remove an element and free it,
so l->next is invalid (catched by valgrind) after calling g_list_delete_link
or g_list_remove
It is possible that the output region size (e.g. 192x144) is different
from the coded picture size (e.g. 192x256). We may adjust the alignment
parameters so that the padding is respected in GstVideoInfo and use
GstVideoInfo to calculate mfx frame width and height
This fixes the error below when decoding a stream which has different
output region size and coded picture size
0:00:00.057726900 28634 0x55df6c3220a0 ERROR msdkdec
gstmsdkdec.c:1065:gst_msdkdec_handle_frame:<msdkh265dec0>
DecodeFrameAsync failed (failed to allocate memory)
Sample pipeline:

The call of MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync may not generate output and
the function returns MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA with NULL sync point, the input
frame is cached in this case, so it is possible that all allocated
frames go into the surfaces_used list after calling
MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync a few times, then the encoder will fail
to get an available surface before releasing used frames
This patch adds a new field of num_extra_frames to GstMsdkEnc and allows
encode element requires extra frames, the default value is 0.
This patch is the preparation for msdkvp9enc element.
msdkenc supports CSC implicitly, so it is possible that two VPP
processes are required when a pipeline contains msdkvpp and msdkenc.
Before this fix, msdkvpp and msdkenc may share the same context, hence
the same mfx session, which results in MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR
in MSDK because a mfx session has at most one VPP process only
This fixes the broken pipelines below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! msdkh264enc ! \
msdkh264dec ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! fakesink

msdkh264enc ! fakesink
BRCParamMultiplier in mfxInfoMFX is a parameter which specifies a
multiplier for bitrate control parameters [1], it impacts TargetKbps,
MaxKbps, BufferSizeInKB and InitialDelayInKB.

In general, we should assume any unhandled error is
non-recoverable.
In the flush frames loop, some error states can cause us
to never increment the task and therefore we get stuck
in an infinite loop and generate GST_ELEMENT_ERROR
over and over again. This eventually consumes all
system memory and triggers OOM. Thus, assume the worst
and break out of the loop upon the first "unhandled" error.

According to MediaSDK specification,
Width must be a multiple of 16 and Height must be a multiple
of 16 for progressive frame sequence and a multiple of 32 otherwise.
This patch sets a 16 bit alignment for width and 32 bit alignment
for height as default.

There was not handling the end of encoding sequence in encoder.
This patch does drain any remaining internal streams while decoder
already does this.
Document says:
"To mark the end of the encoding sequence, call this function with a
NULL surface
pointer. Repeat the call to drain any remaining internally cached
bitstreams—one
frame at a time—until MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA is returned."

MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.

The base encoder common properties are not valid for
mjpeg encoder where there is no motion compensation or rate control.
Delaying the property installation on the base gobject
untill the subclass class_init get invoked.

In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.
