Don't return static caps that don't mean anything for the underlying codecs
that are actually supported for decoding. i.e. always allocate a VA display
and retrieve the exact set of HW decoders available. That VA display may be
re-used later on during negotiation through GstVideoContext "prepare-context".
This fixes fallback to SW decoding if no HW decoder is available.
Make vaapidecode derive from the standard GstVideoDecoder base element
class. This simplifies the code to the strict minimum for the decoder
element and makes it easier to port to GStreamer 1.x API.

The use of heap allocated GMutex/GCond is deprecated. Instead place them
inside the structure they are locking.
These changes switch to use g_mutex_init/g_cond_init rather than the heap
allocation functions.
Because we cannot test for a NULL pointer for the GMutex/GCond we must
initialise inside the GObject _init function and clear inside the _finalize
which is guaranteed to only be called once and after the object is no longer
in use.
Previously, vaapidecode would wait up to one second until a free surface
is available, or it aborts decoding. Now, vaapidecode waits until the
last decoded surface was to be presented, plus one second. Besides, end
times are now expressed relative to the monotonic clock.
GStreamer codecparsers-based decoders are the only supported decoders now.
Though, FFmpeg decoders are still available in gstreamer-vaapi 0.3.x series.
Rationale: playbin2 links all elements at run-time. Once vaapidecode
is created and a NEWSEGMENT event arrives, downstream element may not
be ready yet. So, delay this event until next element is chained in,
otherwise basesink could output "Received buffer without a new-segment.
Assuming timestamps start from 0".

Otherwise, the decoder would always create its own X display instead
of probing it from the downstream element, which is not reliable.
e.g. DISPLAY is not :0 or when running on Wayland.
