A context can create a GLsync object that can be waited on in order
to ensure that GL resources created in one context are able to be
used in another shared context without any chance of reading invalid
data.
This meta would be placed on buffers that are known to cross from
one context to another. The receiving element would then wait
on the sync object to ensure that the data to be used is complete.
gst_video_info_set_format() will reset the complete video-info, but
we want to keep values like the PAR, colorimetry and chroma site.
Otherwise we risk setting different values on the srcpad caps than
what is actually inside the buffers.
Otherwise we might negotiate from the sinkpad streaming threads at
the same time as on the srcpad streaming thread, and then all kinds
of crazy bugs happen that don't make any sense at all.
This gives more flexibility to the subclasses and permits to remove the
GstVideoAggregatorClass->disable_frame_conversion ugly API.
WARNING: This breaks the API as it removes the disable_frame_conversion
field
API:
+ GstVideoAggregatorClass->find_best_format
+ GstVideoAggregatorPadClass->set_format
+ GstVideoAggregatorPadClass->prepare_frame
+ GstVideoAggregatorPadClass->clean_frame
- GstVideoAggregatorClass->disable_frame_conversion

With the current code, we will end up setting the preferred downstream
format as the srcpad format, and it might not be accepted by the next
sinkpad to be added. We should instead let the next sinkpad reconfigure
everything.
Otherwise, it is only possible for the sink pads and the src pads to
have the exact same caps features. We can convert from any feature
to another feature so support that.

The aggregator.segment is not to be initialized by the subclasses but
by the aggregator itself. Moreover, initializing it on start would make
us loose the information coming from the initial seek.
We should be able to always keep the VIDEO_AGGREGATOR_LOCK while
negotiating caps, this patch introduce that change.
That also implies that we do not need the SETCAPS_LOCK anymore because
now VIDEO_AGGREGATOR_LOCK guarantees that setcaps is not called from
several threads and the gst_aggregator_set_caps method is now
protected.

This is about converting the format, not about converting any widths and
heights. Subclasses are expected to handler different resolutions themselves,
like the videomixers already do properly.
