Port vaapidecode and vaapisink plugins to GStreamer API >= 1.2. This
is rather minimalistic so that to test the basic functionality.
Disable vaapipostproc plugin for now as further polishing is needed.
Also disable GstVideoContext interface support since this API is now
gone in 1.2.x. This is preparatory work for GstContext support.

Fix _getcaps() implementation to not report codecs with size information
filled in the returned caps. That's totally useless nowadays. Ideally,
this is a hint to insert a video parser element, thus allowing future
optimizations, but this is not a strict requirement for gstreamer-vaapi,
which is able to parse the elementary bitstreams itself.

If there is no frame delimiter at the end of the stream, e.g. no
end-of-stream or end-of-sequence marker, and that the current frame
was fully parsed correctly, then assume that last frame is complete
and submit it to the decoder.

Add support for GstVideoCropMeta in GStreamer >= 1.0.x builds and gst-vaapi
specific meta information to hold video cropping details. Make the sink
support video cropping in X11 and GLX modes.
Add gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame_with_timeout() helper function that will
wait for a frame to be decoded, until the specified timeout in microseconds,
prior to returning to the caller.
This is a fix to performance regression from 851cc0, whereby the vaapidecode
loop executed on the srcpad task was called to often, thus starving all CPU
resources.
Rework heuristics to detect when downstream element ran into errors,
and thus failing to release any VA surface in due time for the current
frame to get decoded. In particular, recalibrate the render time base
when the first frame gets submitted downstream, or when there is no
timestamp that could be inferred.
Rework GstVideoDecoder::handle_frame() to decode the current frame,
while possibly waiting for a free surface, and separately submit all
decoded frames from a task. This makes it possible to pop and render
decoded frames as soon as possible.
Add support for interlaced streams with GStreamer 1.0 too. Basically,
this enables vaapipostproc, though it is not auto-plugged yet. We also
make sure to reply to CAPS queries, and happily handle CAPS events.
Make gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() return the original codec state,
i.e. make the GstVaapiDecoder object own the return state so that callers
that want an extra reference to it would just gst_video_codec_state_ref()
it before usage. This aligns the behaviour with what we had before with
gst_vaapi_decoder_get_caps().
This is an ABI incompatible change, library major version was bumped from
previous release (0.5.2).
Handle GST_QUERY_CAPS, which is the GStreamer 1.0 mechanism to retrieve
the set of allowed caps, i.e. it works similar to GstPad::get_caps().
This fixes fallback to SW decoding if no HW decoder is available.
Introduce a new configure option --with-gstreamer-api that determines
the desired GStreamer API to use. By default, GStreamer 1.0 is selected.
Also integrate more compatibility glue into gstcompat.h and plugins.
Use new GstVaapiVideoBufferPool to maintain video buffers. Implement
GstBaseSink::propose_allocation() to expose that pool to upstream
elements; and also implement GstVideoDecoder::decide_allocation() to
actually use that pool (from downstream), if any, or create one.

Port vaapidecode and vaapisink plugins to GStreamer API >= 1.0. This
is rather minimalistic so that to test the basic functionality.
Disable vaapiupload, vaapidownload and vaapipostproc plugins. The latter
needs polishing wrt. to GStreamer 1.x functionality and the former are
totally phased out in favor of GstVaapiVideoMemory map/unmap facilities,
which are yet to be implemented.

Don't return static caps that don't mean anything for the underlying codecs
that are actually supported for decoding. i.e. always allocate a VA display
and retrieve the exact set of HW decoders available. That VA display may be
re-used later on during negotiation through GstVideoContext "prepare-context".
This fixes fallback to SW decoding if no HW decoder is available.
Move GstVaapiVideoMeta from core libgstvaapi decoding library to the
actual plugin elements. That's only useful there. Also inline reference
counting code from GstVaapiMiniObject.
Use gst_element_class_set_static_metadata() from GStreamer 1.0, which
basically is the same as gst_element_class_set_details_simple() in
GStreamer 0.10 context.
Move GstImplementsInterface and GstVideoContext support functions up
so that to keep a clear separation between the plugin element and its
interface hooks.
Decode-only frames may not have a valid surface proxy. So, simply discard
them gracefully, i.e. don't create meta data information. GstVideoDecoder
base class will properly handle this case and won't try to push any buffer
to downstream elements.
Implement GstVideoDecoder::reset() as a destruction of the VA decoder
and the creation of a new VA decoder.

Split GstVideoDecoder::handle_frame() implementation into two functions:
(i) one for decoding the provided GstVideoCodecFrame and (ii) another one
for purging all decoded frames and submit them downstream.
Update plugin elements with the new GstVaapiVideoMeta API.
This also fixes support for subpictures/overlay because GstVideoDecoder
generates a sub-buffer from the GstVaapiVideoBuffer. So, that sub-buffer
is marked as read-only. However, when comes in the textoverlay element
for example, it checks whether the input buffer is writable. Since that
buffer read-only, then a new GstBuffer is created. Since gst_buffer_copy()
does not preserve the parent field, the generated buffer in textoverlay
is not exploitable because we lost all VA specific information.
Now, with GstVaapiVideoMeta information attached to a standard GstBuffer,
all information are preserved through gst_buffer_copy() since the latter
does copy metadata (qdata in this case).
Fix calculation of the time-out value for cases where no VA surface is
available for decoding. In this case, we need to wait until downstream
sink consumed at least one surface. The time-out was miscalculated as
it was always set to <current-time> + one second, which is not suitable
for streams with larger gaps.
Don't call gst_video_decoder_drop_frame() if gst_video_decoder_finish_frame()
was already called before and it returned an error. In that case, we were
releasing the frame again, thus leading to a "double-free" condition.
Maintain decoded surfaces as GstVideoCodecFrame objects instead of
GstVaapiSurfaceProxy objects. The latter will tend to be reduced to
the strict minimum: a context and a surface.
Make sure to push all decoded frames downstream as soon as possible.
This makes sure we don't need to wait for a new frame to be ready to
be decoded before receiving new decoded frames.
This also separates the decode process and the output process. The latter
could be moved to a specific GstTask later on.
Directly use the GstVideoCodecState associated with the VA decoder
instead of parsing caps again.

Make vaapidecode derive from the standard GstVideoDecoder base element
class. This simplifies the code to the strict minimum for the decoder
element and makes it easier to port to GStreamer 1.x API.

GstVaapiSurfaceProxy does not use any particular functionality from
GObject. Actually, it only needs a basic object type with reference
counting.
This is an API and ABI change.
The use of heap allocated GMutex/GCond is deprecated. Instead place them
inside the structure they are locking.
These changes switch to use g_mutex_init/g_cond_init rather than the heap
allocation functions.
Because we cannot test for a NULL pointer for the GMutex/GCond we must
initialise inside the GObject _init function and clear inside the _finalize
which is guaranteed to only be called once and after the object is no longer
in use.
Don't care of the return value for gst_vaapi_decoder_put_buffer()
during destruction of the element. Don't print out (uninitialised)
error code when allocation of video buffer failed.
Reset, i.e. destroy then create, the decoder in _setcaps() handler only
if the underlying codec type actually changed. This makes it possible
to be more tolerant with certain MPEG-2 streams that get parsed to
form caps that are compatible with the previous state but minor changes
to "codec-data".
Add new gst_vaapi_codec_from_caps() helper to determine codec type from
the specified caps. Don't globally expose this function since this is
really trivial and only used in the vaapidecode element.
Previously, vaapidecode would wait up to one second until a free surface
is available, or it aborts decoding. Now, vaapidecode waits until the
last decoded surface was to be presented, plus one second. Besides, end
times are now expressed relative to the monotonic clock.
When playback stops the GstVaapiDecode object is reset into a clean
state. However, surfaces may still be referenced by library users and
unreferencing them after the reset triggers an access to an unset mutex.
