According to Debian package auto-building, uintptr_t is not an
unsigned long in i386 arch, raising an "incompatible pointer type"
error.
This patch adds a casting for compiler's satisfaction in i386.
Increased max values of periodic key frame for h26x codecs.
This allow more fine tunning of encoder that in certian scenario
want higher periodic key frame.
For example: it doesn't want a key frame each 10 seconds but
each 120 seconds.

eglGetDisplay() is currently broken in Mesa for Wayland. Also using
eglGetDisplay() is rather fragile, and it is recommended to use
eglGetPlatformDisplay() when possible.
In order to do that, this patch uses the helper in GstGL. If
gstreamer-vaapi is not compiled with GstGL support, eglGetDisplay()
will be used.

Frames are encoded as different layers. Frame in a particular
layer will use pictures in lower or same layer as references.
Which means decoder can drop the frames in upper layer but still
decode lower layer frames.
B-frames, except the one in top most layer, are reference frames.
All the base layer frames are I or P.
eg: with 3 temporal layers
T3: B1 B3 B5 B7
T2: B2 B6
T1: I0 P4 P8
T1, T2, T3: Temporal Layers
P1...Pn: P-Frames:
B1...Bn: B-frames:
T1: I0->P4 , P4->P8 etc..
T2: I0--> B2 <-- P4
T3: I0--> B1 <-- B2, B2 --> B3 <-- P4

The frame_num generation was not correctly implemented.
According to h264 spec, frame_num should get incremented
for each frame if previous frame is a referece frame.
For eg: IPBPB sequece should have the frame numbers 0,1,2,2,3

Adds some basic building blocks to ease the implementation
of hierarchical prediction modes.
-- add an utility method to find temporal level of each frame
-- define max_ref_frame count based on temporal level count
-- add temporal_level_div[] for finding temporal level each frame
to be encoded.
-- find ip_period based on temporal level count

We can have p-frame as non-ref and also b-frame as ref
which are not supported yet. Reference flag
is the first machinery needed for more advanced
reference picture selection modes.

Adds a new function that changes the internal EGL display to the
current one (eglGetCurrentDisplay()) and sets the current context
too (eglGetCurrentContext()).
This new function is called by gst_vaapi_texture_egl_create() updating
the GstVaapiDisplayEGL with the current EGL display.

It is required to use the context of the calling thread when wrapping
a foreign texture. According the documentation of
GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta:
"The caller of gst_video_gl_texture_upload_meta_upload() must
have OpenGL set up and call this from a thread where it is valid
to upload something to an OpenGL texture."
This patch updates the EGL display and context in GstVaapiDisplay
instance to the one used by te renderer that uploads the texture.

In case of streaming, controlling bitrate dynamically for encoder might be
important to manage quality of the streaming.
This patch is to support such a scenario.

gstreamer-vaapi initializes the display by trial-and-error, thus
logging an error message if the display initialisation fails the user
may be weary of the error message in the screen, if using VA-API 1.0
This commit set the VA error log handler to GStreamer warning level
while calling vaInitialize() and set it to error after that.

GstVaapiDisplayEGL is a wrapper of another GstVaapiDisplay, either X11
or Wayland. Nonetheless it created another vaDisplay for it, instead
of using the wrapped one.
This patch enables the reuse of the wrapped vaDisplay avoiding
instantiating two.

This is a difference between the GObject API and the GstVaapi one: the
GValue passed to get a property value, in GObject has to be
initialized with g_value_init(), but in GstVaapi is has not.
In order to overcome this mismatch, this patch call g_value_init()
internally only in the passed one is not already initialized.

Fixes regression introduced by commit 2eb2b26a.
There is a use case when the decoder set the src caps and immediatly
tries to process the media codec_data, this happens before decoder is

This is doing the same as h264 encoder as the following:
Using num_ref_frames provided and the result of the Query
VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames, it determines the size of reference list
and perform encoding with multi reference frames as the following:
1\ The num_ref_frames is being considered as the number of
reference picture list0
2\ Encoder adds 1 reference frame more to the reference picture list1
internally if b-frame encoding.
3\ If num_ref_frames is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
Also this patch includes:
- Set num_negative_pics and num_positive_pics according to the number of
refs.
- Set delta_poc according to the number of refs.
- Increase max_dec_pic_buffering according to the number of refs
- Change max_num_reorder_pics according to num of bframes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783804
Users can provide the number of reference frame by this property,
which is exaclty same as h264.
The value of the property will be considered as the number of
reference picture list0 and will add 1 reference frame more to the
reference picture list1 internally if b-frame encoding.
If the value provided is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
The maximum value is aligned to the value of the driver supported now.

element num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1 is present for P and B slices and
that the syntax element num_ref_idx_l1_active_minus1 is present for B
slices.
num_ref_idx_active_override_flag equal to 0 specifies that the syntax
elements num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1 and num_ref_idx_l1_active_minus1
are not present.
