VA drivers allocate surfaces given their properties, so there's no need to
provide a buffer size to the VA pool.
Though, the buffer size is provided by the driver, or the canonical size
is used for single planed surfaces.
This patch removes the need to provide a size for the function
gst_va_pool_new_with_config() and adds a helper method to retrieve the surface
size, gst_va_pool_get_buffer_size(). Also change the callers accordingly.
Changes for custom VA pool creation will be addressed in the following commits.

This method will return the caps configured in the reconstruct buffer
pool, and its maxium number of buffers to allocate.
The caps are needed later to know if the internal encoder has to be
reopened if the stream properties change.

Handle when encoder doesn't support rate control, which is set as
VA_RC_NONE, and if the set rate control mode is not supported by the
GStreamer element, the element configuration fails.
Also it logs out max and target bitrate.

The entrypoint is set when the encoder helper is constructed,
nonetheless it was also passed as parameter when opening. That's
buggy.
In order to simplify the code, the entrypoint at construction is
honored.
But gst_va_encoder_has_profile_and_entrypoint() now doesn't rely in
the internal list of profiles since it only contains those that
belongs to codec and entrypoint, thus it queries directly the VA
driver.

Added GstVaFeature enum type, and new parameter for VA allocator's
set_format() and get_format(). Also added a new parameter in VA pool
gst_va_pool_new_with_config() and
gst_buffer_pool_config_set_va_allocation_params().
This new parameter will define if derived images will by used for
buffer mapping.

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

Currently for copying the coded buffer onto a GStreamer buffer, the
coded buffer is mapped two times: one for getting the size, and later
for do the actual copy. We can avoid this by doing directly in the
element rather than in the general encoder object.
