The patch adds a serios of changes to support dynamic resolution
change and efficient utilization of resources.
Major changes:
-- Use MSDK's apis to retrieve the headers instead of only relying
on upsteram notification. For eg: avc decoder requires SEI header
information for dpb count calculation which we don't get from caps.
-- For all codecs other than VP9, we force the reset of decoder
if resoultion changes to fit with gstreamer flow. VP9 enfource
the hard reset only if the new resolution is bigger.
-- delay the src caps setting till msdk api's invokation in
handle_frame to avoid caching multiple configuration values
-- ensure pool negotiation is based on decoder's allocation_caps.
--dynamic resoluttion change use an explicit allocation_query
to reclaim the buffers before closing the decoder (thanks to v4l2dec)
--In case if we don't get upstream notification of res change (for eg,
this can can happen for vp9 frames with ivfheader where ivfparse
is not able to notify the dynamic changes), we handle the the case
based on MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM which is the return value
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync
-- calculate the minimum surfaces to be preallocated based on
msdk suggestion, downstream requirement, async depth and scratch surface
count for smooth display.

Fixes random crashes when an allocated webrtcbin isn't
given fresh 0-filled memory in its allocation. It works
mostly because GMutex and GCond are automatically initialised
in that case.
Move freeing of the pad blocks back to before we call the
GstBin state change function, as there's something racy
going on on the build server otherwise, where the pads don't
unblock during downward state changes.
This is a bit of a stab in the dark, since I can't recreate
the build server failure locally.
Adds AV01 FOURCC to the list of allowed media files, in order to allow
parsing the IVF Container holding AV1 content.
At a later point dynamic resolution change can be supported - therefore
the sequence header OBU and frame header OBU of AV1 file must be parsed,
which can be done in future with the help of gst-lib gstav1parse.

Release references in pad blocks and release the memory in the
dispose function too, in case the state change doesn't get
run (because calling the parent state change fails).
When changing state downward, we can't set pads
to inactive if they are blocked, it will deadlock
trying to acquire the streaming lock.
Just calling the parent state change function
will do the correct things to unblock probes and
set the pad inactive, so let it do that and
remove the probes after the parent state change
function has run

When max is GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE in the query, it should not
be set in the query handler, this otherwise could lead to
impossible situations, where the minimum latency ended up
greater than the maximum.

The flush function immediately returned when pitch->next_buffer_offset
was 0.
This is clearly wrong, as next_buffer_offset can be 0 when a single
input buffer has been received, and no output buffer has been produced
before receiving EOS.
Simply remove that condition.

The transform from mediacodec applies to the texture coords, but
GStreamer affine meta applies to the video geometry, which is the
opposite - so invert it to get display correct for decoders
that require transforming
According to msdk spec, there are two ways to enable filters:
1: Filters can be enabled by adding a filter ID
to mfxExtVPPDoUse. In this case, default filter parameters are used
2: Add filter configuration structures directly to mfxVideoParam.
Using 1 with 2 is optional but legal. Unfortunately it won't work
with some specific use cases like Detail/EdgeEnhancement.
Let's stick with option2 which works fine for all VPP operations.

Since we do the MSDK initializing in set_caps(), a FALSE
return may still cause the invokation of set_caps() again
and this will leads to buffer allocation and other mess-up.
So make sure the msdk initialized correctly before trying
to do any buffer allocation.

Make sure all the enabled filter structures are added in the
mfxVideoParm before doing the VPPQuery so that msdk
can do the input param validation

Update the license blurb in camconditionalaccess.[hc] from GPL to LGPL.
The plugin is LGPL and the GPL header in those two files was just a
copy/paste mistake.
