vapostproc tries to be in passthrough mode as much as possible. But
they might be situations where the user might force to process the
frames. For example, when upstream sets the crop meta and the user
wants VA do that cropping, rather than downstream.
For those situations this property will disable the passthrough mode,
if it's enabled.

If incoming buffers have crop meta it's done by vapostproc, iif
vapostproc is not in passthrough mode and downstream doesn't handle
it.
This patch announces the crop meta API in proposed bufferpool, while
it stops filtering meta APIs, since it was only filter crop api.
Also if downstream supports crop and video metas, vapostporoc
announces both meta APIs in upstream bufferpool.
Finally, the meta is removed from the buffer if the crop is enabled.

This new struct describes the input and output GstBuffers to
post-process, including VA flags. It also contains the VASurfaceID and
VARectangle, but those are private, completed inside GstVaFilter.
It is used for pass arguments to gst_va_filter_convert_surface() function.

When an input buffer needs to be copied into a VA memory, it's
required to create a buffer pool. This patch uses the
propose_allocation() caps to instantiate the allocator and pool,
instead of the negotiated caps, which rather represents the resolution
to display.

After the VA filter creation, when changing the element's state from NULL
to READY, immediatly checks for any filter operation requested by the user.
If any, the passthrough mode is disabled early, so there's no need for a
future renegotiation.

When we transform the caps from the sink to src, or vice versa, the
"caps" passed to us may only contain parts of the features. Which
makes our vpp lose some feature in caps and get a negotiation error.
The correct way should be:
Cleaning the format and resolution of that caps, but adding all VA,
DMA features to it, making it a full feature caps. Then, clipping it
with the pad template.

Added helper function _update_passthrough() which will define and set
the pass-through mode of the filter, and it'll either reconfigure both
pads or it will just mark the src pad for renegotiation or nothing at
all.
There are cases where both pads have to be reconfigured (direction
changed, for example), other when just src pad has to (filters
updated) or none (changing to ready state).
The requirement of renegotiation depends on the need to enable/disable
its VA buffer pools.
This patch sets pass-through mode by default, so the buffer pools
aren't allocated if no filtering/direction operations are defined,
which is the correct behavior.

Just like the decoder, the vapostproc also needs to copy the output
buffer to raw buffer if downstream elements only supports raw caps
and does not support the video meta.
The pipeline like:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=xxxx ! h264parse ! vah264dec ! \
vapostproc ! capsfilter caps=video/x-raw,width=55,height=128 ! \
filesink location=xxx
needs this logic to dump the data correctly.

There were two problems with frame copy:
1. The input video info are from the format color, not form the allocated VA
surface, it's needed to update the sink video info according with the
allocator's data.
2. The parameters of `gst_video_frame_copy()` were backwards.

transform_size() basetransform vmethod is used when there's no output buffer
pool and allocates a system memory buffer. With VA this cannot be allowed, since
it needs VASurfaces to process.
Thus transform_size() is not required, but to play safe let's return FALSE.

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

These function were repeated in the different implemented
elements. This patch centralize them.
The side effect is dmabuf memory type is no longer checked with the
current VAContext, but assuming that dmabuf is a consequence of caps
negotiation from dynamic generated caps templates, where the context's
memory types are validated, there's no need to validate them twice.

Add a global mutex to exclusive access to shared stream buffers, such
as DMABufs or VASurfaces after a tee:
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD \
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! tee name=t t. ! queue ! \
vapostproc skin-tone=9 ! xvimagesink \
t. ! queue ! vapostproc ! xvimagesink
