The picture structure in the output parameters from
MFXVideoDECODE_Query is set to MFX_PICSTRUCT_UNKNOWN for some codecs, so
the structure of the corresponding mfx surfaces created for decoding are
unknown. The pipeline will be broken when these surfaces are used as the
input for msdkvpp.
Example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=input_vp8.webm ! matroskademux !
msdkvp8dec ! msdkvpp ! fakesink
Error message:
0:00:00.031568911 14259 0x55b79dc684a0 ERROR msdkvpp
gstmsdkvpp.c:728:gst_msdkvpp_transform:<msdkvpp0> MSDK Failed to do VPP
ERROR: from element
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstMatroskaDemux:matroskademux0: Internal data
stream error.
This is a workaround for the above issue
The memory type was used as bitwise enum, but the enum was not
defined in that way.
Nonetheless, most of the usage of the memory type was as mutually
exclusive options, rather than option composition.
This patch refactor how the memory type is defined, so it is kept
the mutual exclusion among options.
When building the msdk plugin even if libmfx is found, unless the
plugin is explicitly enabled we should not error out if msdk
dependencies are not found.
Also give an error message when we don't build the plugin on Windows
because we're not building with MSVC.
BRCParamMultiplier in mfxInfoMFX is a parameter which specifies a
multiplier for bitrate control parameters [1], it impacts TargetKbps,
MaxKbps, BufferSizeInKB and InitialDelayInKB.

According to the MSDK documation[1], MFXCloneSession is a light-weight
equivalent of MFXJoinSession after MFXInit, so MFXJoinSession call isn't
needed in the msdk plugin, otherwise the cloned session is joined to the
parent session twice, and we will get a MFX error when closing the
parent session
example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=352,height=288 ! msdkh264enc ! msdkh264dec ! \
msdkh264enc ! fakesink
Error message:
0:00:00.211948518 21733 0x5586ee741c60 ERROR msdk
msdk.c:148:msdk_close_session: Close failed (undefined behavior)

In gst-msdk, a mfx session may be shared between different gst
elements, each element tries to set the frame allocator. However, per
the MSDK documation[1], the behavior is undefined if reset the frame
allocator while the previous allocator is in use. Fortunately all
elements use the same frame allocator, so we can avoid to call
MFXVideoCORE_SetFrameAllocator again.

If so, BGRA is the preferred output format hence BGRA will be selected
as input format by default, e.g. in the pipleline below, BGRA instead of
NV12 is selected without renegotiation, so we can avoid the NV12 issue
(see commit 3f2314a) by default.
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! glimagesink
Otherwise MFXVideoVPP_Init will fail because it is called twice without
a close.
Example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! glimagesink
Sometimes glimagesink emits GST_EVENT_RECONFIGURE event which results
in that MFXVideoVPP_Init is called twice, then get the negotiation
failure below:
0:00:00.093715518 21218 0x558ef56231e0 ERROR msdkvpp
gstmsdkvpp.c:995:gst_msdkvpp_initialize:<msdkvpp0> Init failed
(undefined behavior)
WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstMsdkVPP:msdkvpp0: not
negotiated
After applying this commit, the pipeline above may run without
negotiation failure, however NV12 layout in dmabuf mode is selected in
renegotiation, the display image is corrupted due to the NV12 issue which
was mentioned in commit 3f2314a. Some other fixes are needed to avoid
renegotiation by default
In general, we should assume any unhandled error is
non-recoverable.
In the flush frames loop, some error states can cause us
to never increment the task and therefore we get stuck
in an infinite loop and generate GST_ELEMENT_ERROR
over and over again. This eventually consumes all
system memory and triggers OOM. Thus, assume the worst
and break out of the loop upon the first "unhandled" error.

We will add more profiles in the sink caps of msdkh265enc, so let
msdkh265enc re-add the sink pad template. Note this change doesn't
impact any capability
CodecProfile will be set in MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader() to match
the input stream. Setting the hard-coded profile here will mislead
user that msdkh265dec supports a special profile only.
