When input frame's formate changes, vp{8,9} encoders don't reset their frame
counter, hence the newly created frame could become a P-frame, leading to some
major troubles (sigabrt in libdrm in case of vp9). This patch adds some frame
prediction-related reset logic to the `flush' methods of GstVaapiEncoderVP8 and
GstVaapiEncoderVP9 implementations.
This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:
The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
consumption.
The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.
Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".
All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

gcc 7.0.1 gives a memset-elt-size warning in gst_vaapi_encoder_vp9_init:
'memset' used with length equal to number of elements without
multiplication by element size [-Werror=memset-elt-size]

While doing the mode-1 referece picture selection,
the circular buffer logic was not correctly setting the
refresh frame flags as per VP9 spec.
Make sure refresh_flag[0] get updated correclty after
each cycle of GST_VP9_REF_FRAMES.

Added two modes(as properties) for reference picture selection:
ref-mode-0: AltRef and GoldRef pointing to the recent keyframe
and LastRef is pointing to the previous frame.
ref-mode-1: Previous frame (n) as LastRef , n-1 th frame as GoldRef
and n-2 th frame as AltRef
