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.

There are some symbols that are not used when compiling with old

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.

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.

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.
Right now, H264 and HEVC can set as a property the number of slices to
process. But each driver can set a maximum number of slices, depending
on the supported profile & entry point.
This patch verifies the current num_slices to process against the maximum
permitted by the driver and the media size.

Queries if the driver supports "Region of Interest" (ROI) during the config
creation.
This attribute conveys whether the driver supports region-of-interest (ROI)
encoding, based on user provided ROI rectangles. The attribute value is
partitioned into fields as defined in the VAConfigAttribValEncROI union.
If ROI encoding is supported, the ROI information is passed to the driver
using VAEncMiscParameterTypeROI.

This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:
The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
consumption.
The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.
Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".
All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

When the function gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_formats() was added
it was under the assumption that any VA profile of the specific codec
supported the same format colors. But it is not, for example the
profiles that support 10bit formats.
In other words, different VA profiles of a same codec may support
different color formats in their upload surfaces.
In order to expose all the possible color formats, if no profile is
specified via source caps, or if the encoder doesn't have yet a
context, all the possible VA profiles for the specific codec are
iterated and their color formats are merged.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771291
In order to get the supported surface formats within a specific
profile this patch adds the GstVaapiProfile as property to
gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_formats().
Currently the extracted formats are only those related with the
default profile of the element's codec.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771291
Instead of creating (if it doesn't exist, yet) the encoder's context
the method gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_formats() now it creates
dummy contexts, unless the encoder has it already created.
The purpose of this is to avoid setting a encoder's context with a
wrong profile.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771291
In order to generate vaapi contexts iterative, the function
init_context_info() is refactored to pass, as parameters the
GstVaapiContextInfo and the GstVaapiProfile.

Instead of initialize the chroma_type with a undefined value, which
will be converted to GST_VAAPI_CHROMA_TYPE_YUV420 by GstVaapiContext,
this patch queries the VA config, given the received
GstVaapiContextInfo's parameters, and gets the first response.
In order to get the GstVaapiChromaType value, also it was needed to
add a new utility function: to_GstVaapiChromaType(), which, given a
VA_RT_FORMAT_* will return the associated GstVaapiChromaType.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771291
Currently, it set rate control information even when query fails.
In addition, it doesn't update any more since the flag
got_rate_control_mask is set to TRUE.

The encoder should be able to change its caps even it is already
processing a stream.
This is suppose to happen after a flush so the codedbuf_queue should
be empty.

This method will return the valid surface formats in the current

Practically we should be able to support more formats, for eg:
JPEG Encoder can support YUV422, RGBA and all.
But this is causing more issues which need proper fix here and there.
Add gst_vaapi_get_config_attribute() helper function that takes a
GstVaapiDisplay and the rest of the arguments with VA types. The aim
is to have thread-safe VA helpers by default.
Make sure to configure the encoder with the set of packed headers we
intend to generate and submit. i.e. make selection of packed headers
to submit more robust.
Cache the first compatible GstVaapiProfile found if the encoder is not
configured yet. Next, factor out the code to check for the supported
rate-control modes by moving out vaGetConfigAttributes() to a separate
function, while also making sure that the attribute type is actually
supported by the encoder.
Also fix the default set of supported rate control modes to not the
"none" variant. It's totally useless to expose it at this point.
Introduce GstVaapiContextUsage so that to explicitly determine the
usage of a VA context. This is useful in view to simplifying the
creation of VA context for VPP too.
Improve documentation and debug messages. Clean-up APIs, i.e. strip
them down to the minimal set of interfaces. They are private, so no
need expose getters for instance.
Make sure to submit the packed headers only if the underlying VA driver
requires those. Currently, only handle packed sequence and picture
headers.

Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: rename some
variables, drop unused macro definitions, drop initialization of vars
that are zero-initialized from the base class, drop un-necessary casts,
allocate GPtrArrays with a destroy function.
Add encoder "tune" option to override the default behaviour that is to
favor maximum decoder compatibility at the expense of lower compression
ratios.
Expected tuning options to be developed are:
- "high-compression": improve compression, target best-in-class decoders;
- "low-latency": tune for low-latency decoding;
- "low-power": tune for encoding in low power / resources conditions.
Only expose the exact static set of supported rate-control properties
to the upper layer. For instance, if the GstVaapiEncoderXXX class does
only support CQP rate control, then only add it the the exposed enum
type.
Add helper macros and functions to build a GType for an enum subset.
