Adding RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx, VUYA and RGB10A2_LE format support for performance.
However, these formats are not still recommended if upstream can support
native YUV formats (e.g., NV12, P010) since NVENC does not expose
conversion related optiones. Note that VUYA format is 4:4:4 YUV format
already but NVENC runtime will convert it to 4:2:0 format internally

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, format, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

The last frame which has the smallest diff should be consider as
the first choice rather than the golden frame. Especially when only
one reference available, this way can improve the BD rate about 5
percentage.

Some extreme case such as "videotestsrc pattern=1" can generate pure
white noise videoes, for which encoder may generate too big output
for current coded buffer size. We now consider the qindex and bitrate
to avoid that.

It might happen that the key event arrives when the d3d11videosink
is stopping. In case of GstD3D11WindowWin32 it can raise a
navigation event even when the sink is already freed, because the
window object's refcount may reach 0 in the window thread. In
other words sometimes the GstD3D11WindowWin32 lives few ms more
then the GstD3D11VideoSink, because it's freed asynchronously.

In the case of multi-channels transcoding, a context with child
sesseion can be parent for others, so we need to check if the
msdkcontext has any child session in the list to avoid session
leaks. Otherwise, we will see the failure of closing a parent
session because one of its child's child session not released.

Calling gst_pad_peer_query_caps() without a filter can give us EMPTY caps, whereas all the code below
assumes that's not the case. Replacing query+intersect with a filtered query ensures we always get a subset
of the template caps back.

In an early non-linked scenario, this was causing a ton of criticals about the queue array,
because the output callback would still fire for leftover frames that were still being processed by VT
at the time the output loop stopped. This makes sure they're flushed correctly as well.
Also renames gst_vtdec_loop to gst_vtdec_output_loop for consistency with related functions.

Sometimes a call to negotiate (and thus drain) can happen from the output loop
(via finish_frame()), which will tell VT to output all internal frames, but that won't succeed
if we happen to decide to wait for the queue to empty (because the loop is waiting for draining to finish and
will not make space in the queue!). This commit adds an override for the queue size limit if we're draining/flushing.
This bug could happen for any formats, but was especially obvious for ProRes, which has dpb_size of 0.

Because ID3D12Device objects are singletons per adapter,
GstD3D12Device was following the API design, that is, keep track
of global GstD3D12Device objects and reuses it.
That means ID3D12Device object can be released at the time
when GstD3D12Device is destroyed.
But exetrnal APIs such as NVENC does not seem to be happy
with the released ID3D12Device, that could be a driver bug though.
Let's hold already opened ID3D12Device permanently without releasing
it for now.

In order to simplify caps negotiations for clients and, notably, be more
compatible with va* decoders.
Crucially this allows clients to know ahead of time whether buffers will
actually be DMABufs.
Similar to GstVaBaseDec we only announce system memory caps if the peer
has ANY caps. Further more, and again like va decoders, we fail in
`decide_allocation()` if DMA_DRM caps are used without VideoMeta.
Apart from buggy peers this can happen e.g. when a peer with ANY caps
is used in combination with caps filters.

Most importantly rely on video info helpers instead of manual parsing
of caps, which will allow us to use additional helpers in the future.
While on it, tighen the check for supported formats - failing that
indicates a bug in caps negotiation - and make some style changes.

This ensures we don't create filter caps that are not supported by the
individual codec implementations, as well as that the resulting caps
have the required fields so they can be turned into a GstVideoFormat.

Do not chain up to parent's GstBufferPool::start() which will do
preallocation. We don't want it to be preallocated
since there are various cases where negotiated downstream buffer pool is
not used at all (e.g., zero-copy decoding, IPC elements).

This fixes a crash in `gst_va_h264_enc_class_init` and `gst_va_h265_enc_class_init`
(and probably also in gst_va_av1_enc_class_init) when calling
`g_object_class_install_properties (object_class, n_props, properties);`
When rate_control_type is 0, the following code is executed in :
```
} else {
n_props--;
properties[PROP_RATE_CONTROL] = NULL;
}
```
n_props has initially a value of N_PROPERTIES but PROP_RATE_CONTROL
is not the last element in the array, so it's making
g_object_class_install_properties fail to iterate over the
properties array.
This applies the same fix to gstvah264enc.c, gstvah265enc.c and
gstvaav1enc.c.

osxaudio has a few helper methods potentially useful in atdec (or future atenc), like GStreamer -> CoreAudio
channel mapping. Doesn't make sense to duplicate them in applemedia, and atdec is the only audio-oriented

Provide a clock from the source that is a monotonic system clock with
the rate corrected based on the measured and ideal capture rate of the
frames.
If this clock is selected as pipeline clock, then provide perfect
timestamps to downstream.
Otherwise, if the pipeline clock is the monotonic system clock, use the
internal clock for converting back to the monotonic system clock.
Otherwise, use the monotonic system clock time calculated in the above
case and convert that to the pipeline clock.
In all cases this will give a smoother time than the previous code,
which simply took the difference between the driver provided capture
time and the current real-time clock time, and applied that to the
current pipeline clock time.

Otherwise there's a small window between querying the state and doing
the transfer in which a frame could be dropped, and we would then output
the frame right after the dropped one as if it was the dropped frame.

In low delay B mode, the P frame is converted as B frame with forward
references. For example, One P frame may refers to P-1, P-2 and P-3 in
list0 and refers to P-3, P-2 and P-1 in list1.
So the num in list0 and list1 does not reflect the forward_num and
backward_num. The vaapi does not provide ref num for forward or backward
so far. In this case, we just consider the backward_num to be 1 conservatively.

In b_pyramid mode, B frames can be ref and prevPicOrderCntLsb can
be the B frame POC which is smaller than the P frame. This can cause
POC diff bigger than MaxPicOrderCntLsb/2 and generate wrong POC value.

Unprepare method posts WM_GST_D3D11_DESTROY_INTERNAL_WINDOW
command to the window queue, and from that moment considers
internal_hwnd to be released, and so it sets it to null.
The problem is that it's possible that right at that moment
the window thread might be already processing some other
command, or just another command might be already in the queue.
On practice we met a crash when WM_PAINT got processed in between
(unprepare already finished and WM_GST_D3D11_DESTROY_INTERNAL_WINDOW
was not handled yet)

When the conversion is only caps feature from memory:VAMemory to system memory,
it's possible to optimize by doing a pseudo pass-through since the va-backed
buffers are the same for system memory buffers.

If the allocation query received from downstream doesn't handle GstVideoMeta but
it requests memory:DMABuf caps feature, it's incomplete, so we rather reject the

This is a simplification of the venerable
gst_va_base_dec_get_preferred_format_and_caps_features() function, which
predates since gstreamer-vaapi. It's used to select the format and the
capsfeature to use when setting the output state. It was complex and hard to
follow. This refactor simplifies a lot the algorithm.
The first thing to remove _downstream_has_video_meta() since, most of the time
it will be called before the caps negotiation, and allocation queries make sense
only after caps negotiation. It might work during renegotiation but, in that
case, caps feature change is uncommon. Better a simple and common approach.
Also, for performance, instead of dealing with caps features as strings, GQuarks
are used.
The refactor works like this:
1. If peer pad returns any caps, the returned caps feature is system memory and
looks for a proper format in the allowed caps.
2. The allowed caps are traversed at most 3 times: one per each valid caps
feature. First VAMemory, later DMABuf, and last system memory. The first to
match in allowed caps is picked, and the first format matching with the
chroma is picked too.
Notice that, right now, using playbin videoconvert never return any.
