Given the amount of complains about artifacts when negotiating dmabuf
given incompatible drm-formats, and that there's no enough bandwidth
for a proper and quick fix in gstreamer-vaapi, this patch disables,
from decoders and postprocessor, the DMABuf caps feature.
For those who needs DMABuf can use the va elements in -bad, increasing
their ranking for autoplugging by using the environment variable
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=vah264dec:MAX, for example.
This can be considered a first step to the deprecation of
gstreamer-vaapi in favor of the va plugin in -bad.

Platform wise, is not possible, as far as I known, to have Wayland
without kernel's DRM. Though, it's possible to configure
gstreamer-vaapi without DRM but Wayland support, with the enhanced
handling of dmabuf in vaapisink for Wayland, vaapisink will always
fail. Given both issues, configuration with no DRM but Wayland, makes
things more complex, and a simpler approach is to refuse that
configuration.
This patch disables Wayland support if there isn't DRM support. Also,
it disables the display test for Wayland, relying only on DRM and
X11.

vaapidecode is used in vaapidecodebin and it exposes all the
theoretically supported caps, but that slows down autoplug. With this
autplug is negotiated faster, giving more option to decodebin to select
other decoder.
