Coverity scan bug:
Dereference after null check: Either the check against null is
unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference.
In the original commit for fill_picture_gaps() (commit 5abd2b90) the
prev_picture could be NULL, that's why the code did a null check. But,
since commit 52adebe7, the previous reference frames are tracked, thus
there is no need to check null anymore.
Using num_ref_frames provided and the result of the Query
VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames, it determines the size of reference list
and perform encoding with multi reference frames as the following:
1\ The num_ref_frames is being considered as the number of
reference picture list0
2\ Encoder adds 1 reference frame more to the reference picture list1
internally if b-frame encoding.
3\ If num_ref_frames is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783803
Users can provide the number of reference frame by this property.
The value of the property will be considered as the number of
reference picture list0 and will add 1 reference frame more to the
reference picture list1 internally if b-frame encoding.
If the value provided is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783803
This function will query VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames to get the
maximum number of reference frames supported in the driver.
This will be used for h264/h265 encoding.

Added a new property "compliance-mode", which default is the normal
strict compliant mode.
The second mode, "restrict-buf-alloc", is to limit the coded buffer
allocation size to improve performance in some specific Intel
platforms (there is asignificant performance improvement in parallel
encodings). Under this new mode, we use the MinCR field in A.3.1 for
pre-calculating the coded-buffer size.

Push frames downstream as soon as possible instead of waiting until
they are ejected from the DPB.
This patch makes the decoder not comply with the H.264 specification,
but it is required for some video cameras.

If the picture is IDR, also submit a SPS header.
This means when frame number reaches to keyframe-period or an force
key unit event arrives, we insert SPS/PPS again.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_FORCE_KEYFRAME() is a flag usually used to manage
the `frame-lost` event in the case of streaming, such as RTP.
In case of this event, it is needed to start new GOP rather than just
produce an I-frame.

Insert an AUD as the first NAL of each encoded frame.
Some applications require Access Unit Delimiter for decoding the
stream.
The AU delimeter insertion is done only when the aud parameter is
TRUE (by default is disabled). The reason of this it is because this
header is only available from Intel Gen9 and the VA intel driver
should be 1.8 or superior. Otherwise, the output will be corrupted.

Currently when num_views is changed by multiview-mode on sink caps, it produces
wrong MVC encoded stream since the array view_ids is not set properly according
to changed num_views.
So this patch initializes all of the array sequentially to handle this case.
Side effect is not going to happen by this patch since this array is being
handled by num_views.

Until now, the encoder ignored the profile in src caps and chose one
according with the given parameters. But the encoder must honor the
profile specifed in src caps.
This patch do that, and if the encoder needs to choose the profile,
it will do it by following these rules:
1\ If given parameters are not compatible with given profile, the
encoder will bail out with an error.
2\ The encoder will choose the higher profile indicated in the
src caps.

Since commits in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781142 landed,
they introduced regression in seek.
Formerly, once seek is done, decoder drops P-frames until I-frame arrives.
But since the commits landed, it doesn't drop P-frame and does try to
decode it continuously because active_sps is still alive. See ensure_sps function.
But there are prev_frames and prev_ref_frames reset already, then it
causes assertion.
So it's necessary to reset active_sps/pps also in reset method.

There are some symbols that are not used when compiling with old
version of libva and those generates a compilation error.

Change the hard-coded range of quality-level from {1-8} to {1-7},
since it is the range Intel Open source driver supports.
Also perform the range clamping only if the user provided
quality-level is greater than the max-range suppored by the driver,
because there could be non-intel drivers giving lower value than
the hard-coded max value 7.

Just set the framerate parameter if the framerate numerator and
denominator are bigger than zero.
Otherwise, in Intel Gen6 driver, a warning is raised disabling the
bitrate control.

Instead of recalculating the miscellaneous buffer parameters for
every buffer, it is only done once, when the encoder is configured.
And for every buffer, the same structures are just copied.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.
It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.
I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.

According to the VA documentation:
The framerate is specified as a number of frames per second,
as a fraction. The denominator of the fraction is given in
the top half (the high two bytes) of the framerate field, and
the numerator is given in the bottom half (the low two bytes).
For example, if framerate is set to (100 << 16 | 750), this is
750 / 100, hence 7.5fps.
If the denominator is zero (the high two bytes are both zero)
then it takes the value one instead, so the framerate is just
the integer in the low 2 bytes.
This patch fixes the the framerate calculation in vp8 encoder
according to this.

Move frame-rate parameter from ensure_misc_params() to
ensure_contro_rate_param() since it only has meaning when the
control rate is either VBR or CBR.

Move the Hypothetical Reference Decoder (HRD) parameter, from
ensure_misc_params() to ensure_control_rate_params(), since it
only shall be defined when the control rate is either VBR or CBR.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
Instead of filling the control rate param in ensure_misc_params(),
this patch refactor it out, as a first step to merge the same code
for all the encoders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
Instead of using a proxy to story the buffer quality level, the
encoder now uses the native VA structure, which is copied to the
dynamically allocated VAEncMiscParameterBuffer.
This approach is computationally less expensive.
