In some cases, the user might want the stream outputted by encodebin to
be in the exact same format during all the stream. We should let the
user specify when this is the case. This commit add some API in the
GstEncodingProfile to determine whether the format can be renegotiated
after the encoding started or not.
API:
gst_encoding_profile_set_allow_dynamic_output
gst_encoding_profile_get_allow_dynamic_output

This avoids a race where we would get new tag but we are already
prerolled and analyzing results.
It is the way it is supposed to be handled as stated in comment:
"If preroll is complete, drop these tags - the collected information is
possibly already being processed and adding more tags would be racy"
Otherwize the pipeline would be in an wrong state and on the next
iteration any kind of error could happen
Everytime an error happens in a pipeline the application has to set the
pipeline back to NULL instead of READY.

Recognize H.264 Level 5.2, as exposed by modern 2160p30+ streams,
i.e. commonly known as 4K. Also add initial support for handling
Annex.G (SVC) profiles.

Currently the API is far from optimal and the user has to work around
our badly defined API to simply install missing plugins.
API:
new:
gst_discoverer_info_get_missing_elements_installer_details
deprecated:
gst_discoverer_info_get_misc
gst_discoverer_stream_info_get_misc

We're checking the caps to see if we got more caps details after a parser got
plugged. This will also have a flipped 'parsed' field. If the field was already
present before the parse the match will fail. Add a function that will do the
check while excluding this field.
Mark terms such as "planar", "packed", and "palettized" as
translatable, and re-arrange strings a bit to make them
better suited for translation.
Also fix bug in yuv descriptions, one plane is packed, more
is planar (or semi-planar).

Caps description and missing plugin code does not really need caps to
be fixed, and indeed they may not be if giving encodebin unfixed caps
that correspond to an unknown encoder or muxer.
So we relax the check, and allow unfixed caps if all the structures
refer to the same media type.
We already have internally the information on what type of stream (audio,
video, container, subtitle, ...) a certain caps is.
Instead of forcing callers to specify which CODEC_TAG category a certain
caps is, use that information to make a smart choice.
Does not break previous behaviour of gst_pb_utils_add_codec_description_to_tag_list
(if tag is specified it will be used, if caps is invalid it will be rejected,
...).
