It is possible that the output region size (e.g. 192x144) is different
from the coded picture size (e.g. 192x256). We may adjust the alignment
parameters so that the padding is respected in GstVideoInfo and use
GstVideoInfo to calculate mfx frame width and height
This fixes the error below when decoding a stream which has different
output region size and coded picture size
0:00:00.057726900 28634 0x55df6c3220a0 ERROR msdkdec
gstmsdkdec.c:1065:gst_msdkdec_handle_frame:<msdkh265dec0>
DecodeFrameAsync failed (failed to allocate memory)
Sample pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=output.h265 ! h265parse ! msdkh265dec !
glimagesink
The call of MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync may not generate output and
the function returns MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA with NULL sync point, the input
frame is cached in this case, so it is possible that all allocated
frames go into the surfaces_used list after calling
MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync a few times, then the encoder will fail
to get an available surface before releasing used frames
This patch adds a new field of num_extra_frames to GstMsdkEnc and allows
encode element requires extra frames, the default value is 0.
This patch is the preparation for msdkvp9enc element.
msdkenc supports CSC implicitly, so it is possible that two VPP
processes are required when a pipeline contains msdkvpp and msdkenc.
Before this fix, msdkvpp and msdkenc may share the same context, hence
the same mfx session, which results in MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR
in MSDK because a mfx session has at most one VPP process only
This fixes the broken pipelines below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! msdkh264enc ! \
msdkh264dec ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! fakesink
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! \
msdkh264enc ! fakesink
BRCParamMultiplier in mfxInfoMFX is a parameter which specifies a
multiplier for bitrate control parameters [1], it impacts TargetKbps,
MaxKbps, BufferSizeInKB and InitialDelayInKB.

In general, we should assume any unhandled error is
non-recoverable.
In the flush frames loop, some error states can cause us
to never increment the task and therefore we get stuck
in an infinite loop and generate GST_ELEMENT_ERROR
over and over again. This eventually consumes all
system memory and triggers OOM. Thus, assume the worst
and break out of the loop upon the first "unhandled" error.

According to MediaSDK specification,
Width must be a multiple of 16 and Height must be a multiple
of 16 for progressive frame sequence and a multiple of 32 otherwise.
This patch sets a 16 bit alignment for width and 32 bit alignment
for height as default.

There was not handling the end of encoding sequence in encoder.
This patch does drain any remaining internal streams while decoder
already does this.
Document says:
"To mark the end of the encoding sequence, call this function with a
NULL surface
pointer. Repeat the call to drain any remaining internally cached
bitstreams—one
frame at a time—until MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA is returned."

MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.

The base encoder common properties are not valid for
mjpeg encoder where there is no motion compensation or rate control.
Delaying the property installation on the base gobject
untill the subclass class_init get invoked.

In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.

How to share/create GstMsdkcontext is the following:
- Search GstMsdkContext if there's in the pipeline.
- If found, check if it's decoder, encoder or vpp by job type.
- If it's same job type, it creates another instance of
GstMsdkContext
with joined-session.
- Otherwise just use the shared GstMsdkContext.
- If not found, just creates new instance of GstMsdkContext.

According to the driver's instruction, if there are two or more encoders
or decoders in a process, the session should be joined by
MFXJoinSession.
To achieve this successfully by GstContext, this patch adds job type
specified if it's encoder, decoder or vpp.
If a msdk element gets to know if joining session is needed by the
shared context,
it should create another instance of GstContext with joined session,
which
is not shared.

1\ Proposes msdk bufferpool to upstream.
- If upstream has accepted the proposed msdk bufferpool,
encoder can get msdk surface from the buffer directly.
- If not, encoder get msdk surface its own msdk bufferpool
and copy from upstream's frame to the surface.
2\ Replace arrays of surfaces with msdk bufferpool.
3\ In case of using VPP, there should be another msdk bufferpool
with NV12 info so that it could convert first and encode.
Calls gst_msdk_set_frame_allocator and uses video memory only on linux.
and uses system memory on Windows until d3d allocator is implemented.

Makes GstMsdkContext to be a descendant of GstObject so that
we could track the life-cycle of the session of the driver.
Also replaces MsdkContext with this one.
Keeps msdk_d3d.c alive for the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
If the driver requires more data, just unref the frame at the moment
then retreive/finish the frame after encoding is finished.
This also fixes a memory leak.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790312
Set the pts and dts on the frame that we receive from the msdk.
Also fix the inverted logic in setting sync points, previously we
were marking all frames as sync points except IDRs.
