Some frameworks (EFL) expect BGRA textures for storage. However,
adding support for that broadly into GStreamer framework implies
two kinds of hacks: (i) libgstgl helpers currently do not support
BGRA textures correctly, (ii) we need to better parse downstream
suggested caps and intersect them with what the VA plugin elements
can offer to them for GL texturing.
When multiple display servers are available, the glimagesink element
(from GStreamer 1.4) may not be able to derive a global display in
Wayland. Rather, a "window"-specific display is created. In this case,
the GstGLDisplay handle available through GstGLContext is invalid.
So, try to improve heuristics for display server characterisation in
those particular situations.
Add initial support for EGL through GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta.
Fix gst_vaapi_ensure_display() to allocate a GstVaapiDisplay off the
downstream supplied GstGLContext configuration, i.e. use its native
display handle to create a GstVaapiDisplay of type X11 or Wayland ;
and use the desired OpenGL API to allocate the GstVaapiDisplayEGL
wrapper.

If a GstGLContext is supplied by the downstream element, then make
sure that the VA plugin element gets a compatible display to what
is requested by the GL context. e.g. re-allocate a VA/GLX display
when a GLX context is provided by the downstream element.
Make gst_vaapi_display_get_display_type() return the actual VA display
type. Conversely, add a gst_vaapi_display_get_class_type() function to
return the type of the GstVaapiDisplay instance. The former is used to
identify the display server onto which the application is running, and
the latter to identify the original object class.
dvbsuboverlay signals no subtitles present by not setting
GstVideoOverlayCompositionMeta on a buffer.
Detect this, and remove subtitles whenever we have no overlay composition to
hand.

In the current implementation, gst_video_info_set_format() would reset
the whole GstVideoInfo structure first, prior to setting video format
and size. So, coleteral information like framerate or pixel-aspect-
ratio are lost.
Provide and use a unique gst_video_info_change_format() for overcome
this issue, i.e. only have it change the format and video size, and
copy over the rest of the fields.

Allow implicit conversions to raw video formats, while still keeping
VA surfaces underneath. This allows for chaining the vaapipostproc
element to a software-only element that takes care of maps/unmaps.
e.g. xvimagesink.

Introduce new gst_caps_has_vaapi_surface() helper function to detect
whether the supplied caps has VA surfaces. With GStreamer >= 1.2, this
implies a check for memory:VASurface caps features, and format=ENCODED
for earlier versions of GStreamer.
Rework the logics behind the configuration of an adequate bufferpool,
especially when OpenGL meta or additional capsfeatures are needed.
Besides, for GStreamer >= 1.4, the first capsfeatures that gets matched,
and that is not system memory, is now selected by default.
Add a "display-name" property to vaapisink so that the end user could
select the desired output. Keep "display-name" in-line with the existing
"display" (GstVaapiDisplayXXX type).
So, for X11 or GLX, the "display-name" is the usual display name as we
know for XOpenDisplay(); for Wayland, the "display-name" is the name used
for wl_display_connect(); and for DRM, the "display-name" is actually the
DRI device name.

Always expose I420 format by default when the VA surface could be
mapped for interoperability with non harware accelerated elements.
However, the default behaviour remains the auto-plugging of vaapi
elements, down to the sink.
Side effect: "direct-rendering" mode is also disabled most of the
times as plain memcpy() from uncached speculative write combining
memory is not going to be efficient enough.
Add gst_vaapi_video_format_new_template_caps_with_features() helper
function to add the supplied caps feature string on GStreamer >= 1.2.
Add gst_vaapi_find_preferred_caps_feature() helper function to discover
the "best" caps feature to use for the supplied pad. In practice, we
will always favor memory:VASurface first, then meta:GLTextureUploadMeta,
and finally the system memory caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719372
Add new helper functions to build video template caps.
- gst_vaapi_video_format_new_template_caps():
create GstCaps with size, frame rate and PAR to full range
- gst_vaapi_video_format_new_template_caps_from_list():
try to create a "simplified" list from the supplied formats
Add new helper functions to build GValues from GstVideoFormat:
- gst_vaapi_value_set_format():
build a GValue from the supplied video format
- gst_vaapi_value_set_format_list():
build a GValue list from the supplied array of video formats
Fix display creation code to check that any display obtained from a
neighbour actually has the type we expect. Note: if display type is
set to "any", we can then accept any VA display type.
Move common VA display creation code to GstVaapiPluginBase, with the
default display type remaining "any". Also add a "display-changed"
hook so that subclasses could perform additional tasks when/if the
VA display changed, due to a new display type request for instance.
All plug-ins are updated to cope with the new internal APIs.
Return earlier if the creation of a VA display failed. Likewise, simplify
gst_vaapi_video_context_propagate() now that we are guaranteed to have a
valid VA display.
Add support for "mixed" interlace-mode, whereby the video frame buffer
shall be deinterlaced only if its flags mention that's actually an
interlaced frame buffer.
Add gst_caps_set_interlaced() helper function that would reset the
interlace-mode field to "progressive" for GStreamer >= 1.0, or the
interlaced field to "false" for GStreamer 0.10.
Add thin compatibility layer for the deprecated GstVideoContext API.
For GStreamer API >= 1.2, this involves the following two functions:
- gst_vaapi_video_context_prepare(): queries if a context is already
set in the pipeline ;
- gst_vaapi_video_context_propagate(): propagates the newly-created
context to the rest of the pipeline.

Port vaapidecode and vaapisink plugins to GStreamer API >= 1.2. This
is rather minimalistic so that to test the basic functionality.
Disable vaapipostproc plugin for now as further polishing is needed.
Also disable GstVideoContext interface support since this API is now
gone in 1.2.x. This is preparatory work for GstContext support.

After the code got moved to create the gst_vaapi_create_display() helper,
this comparison was not updated to dereference the newly-created
pointer, so the code was comparing the pointer itself to the type, and
therefore failing to retrieve the VA display.
This fixes the following error (and gets gst-vaapi decoding again):
ERROR vaapidecode gstvaapidecode.c:807:gst_vaapidecode_ensure_allowed_caps: failed to retrieve VA display

Simplify gst_vaapi_create_display() helper as gst_vaapi_display_XXX_new()
performs the necessary validation checks for the underlying VA display
prior to returning to the caller. So, if an error occurred, then NULL is
really returned in that case.
If the gstreamer-vaapi plug-in elements are built with GLX support, then
try to allocate a GstVaapiDisplayGLX first before resorting to a VA/X11
display next.

Port vaapidecode and vaapisink plugins to GStreamer API >= 1.0. This
is rather minimalistic so that to test the basic functionality.
Disable vaapiupload, vaapidownload and vaapipostproc plugins. The latter
needs polishing wrt. to GStreamer 1.x functionality and the former are
totally phased out in favor of GstVaapiVideoMemory map/unmap facilities,
which are yet to be implemented.

Fix gst_vaapi_apply_composition() to not fail if no overlay composition
was found. i.e. return success (TRUE). This was harmless though extra
debug messages are not nice.
This is a regression introduced by commit 95b8659.
Make gst_vaapi_reply_to_query() first check whether the query argument
is actually a video-context query, i.e. with type GST_QUERY_TYPE_CUSTOM.
Then, make sure vaapisink propagates the query to the parent class if
it is not a video-context query.
If vaapisink is in the GStreamer pipeline, then we shall allocate a
unique GstVaapiDisplay and propagate it upstream. i.e. subsequent
queries from vaapidecode shall get a valid answer from vaapisink.
Move display types from gstvaapipluginutil.* to gstvaapidisplay.* so that
we could simplify characterization of a GstVaapiDisplay. Also rename "auto"
type to "any", and add a "display-type" attribute.
vaapisink is now built with support for multiple display types, whenever
they are enabled. The new "display" attribute is used to select a particular
renderer.
This flag is obsolete. It was meant to explicitly enable/disable VA/GLX API
support, or fallback to TFP+FBO if this API is not found. Now, we check for
the VA/GLX API by default if --enable-glx is set. If this API is not found,
we now default to use TFP+FBO.
Note: TFP+FBO, i.e. using vaPutSurface() is now also a deprecated usage and
will be removed in the future. If GLX rendering is requested, then the VA/GLX
API shall be used as it covers most usages. e.g. AMD driver can't render to
an X pixmap yet.
This ensures the display name provided to gst_vaapi_display_*_new()
maps to the system defaults, instead of forcing "" that could be different
from the current DISPLAY name.
This new interface allows for upstream and downstream display sharing
that works in both static and dynamic pipelines.
