In h265, bigger profile idc may not be compatible with the small profile
idc. And more important, there are multi profiles with the same profile
idc. Such as main-422-10, main-444 and main-444-10, they all have profile
idc 4.
So recording the max profile idc is not enough, the encoder needs to know
all allowed profiles when deciding the real profile.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-vaapi/-/merge_requests/349>
The current get_profile just return one possible profile for the encode,
which is not enough. For example, if we want to support HEVC 4:4:4
profile, the input of encode should be VYUA rather than NV12 in HEVC
main profile. So the command line:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! fakesink
can not work because vaapih265enc just report NV12 in sink caps, we need
to specify the profile obviously like:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! capsfilter caps=video/x-h265, \
profile=main-444 ! fakesink
The encode should have the ability to choose the profile based on input
format automatically. If the input video format is VUYA, the main-444
profile should be auto choosed.
We modify to let get_allowed_profiles of each encode sub class to return
an array of all supported profiles based on downstream's allowed caps, or
return NULL if no valid profiles specified by downstream.
If no allowed profiles found, all profiles which belong to the current
encoder's codec will be the candidates.
The function gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_attributes collects the surface's
attributes for that profile list we just get.
So for this case, both NV12 and VUYA should be returned.
TODO: some codec like VP9, need to implement the get_profile() function.
This new virtual method, get_profile(), if implemented by specific
encoders, will return the VA profile potentially determined by the
source caps.
Also it is implemented by h264 and h265 encoders, which are the main
users of this vmethod.

There is no difference in VAAPI surface caps between encoders and decoders.
Thus, the patch makes a simplification by removing encoders specific caps and
shares the same definition of VAAPI surfaces caps for all the elements.
Trying to comply with GStreamer's element names, this patch renames the
encoders using the name format vaapi{codec}enc.
In this way, the plugin documentation is linked correctly.

Refactor the main vaapi caps strings into three macros:
GST_VAAPI_MAKE_SURFACE_CAPS, GST_VAAPI_MAKE_ENC_SURFACE_CAPS and
GST_VAAPI_MAKE_GLTEXUPLOAD_CAPS.
Those are in gstvaapipluginutil.h so all the elements could use them, instead
of re-declaring them every time.
No functional changes.
