The FORCE_KEYFRAME frame which has GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME
bit set should be the sync point. So we should let it be an IDR frame to begin
a new GOP, rather than just promote it to an I frame.

1. The PTS of all frames should not be changed.
2. Just update the DTS based on the PTS. For the frame which is not
reordered, the DTS is equal to PTS. For frame which is reordered,
the DTS is equal to previous DTS. For example:
Input: F0[D0, P0] -- F1[D1, P1] -- F2[D2, P2] -- F3[D3, P3]
Output: F0[I, D0, P0] -- F3[P, D0, P3] -- F1[B, D1, P1] -- F2[B, D2, P2]

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, format, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

The last frame which has the smallest diff should be consider as
the first choice rather than the golden frame. Especially when only
one reference available, this way can improve the BD rate about 5
percentage.

This fixes a crash in `gst_va_h264_enc_class_init` and `gst_va_h265_enc_class_init`
(and probably also in gst_va_av1_enc_class_init) when calling
`g_object_class_install_properties (object_class, n_props, properties);`
When rate_control_type is 0, the following code is executed in :
```
} else {
n_props--;
properties[PROP_RATE_CONTROL] = NULL;
}
```
n_props has initially a value of N_PROPERTIES but PROP_RATE_CONTROL
is not the last element in the array, so it's making
g_object_class_install_properties fail to iterate over the
properties array.
This applies the same fix to gstvah264enc.c, gstvah265enc.c and
gstvaav1enc.c.

When the conversion is only caps feature from memory:VAMemory to system memory,
it's possible to optimize by doing a pseudo pass-through since the va-backed
buffers are the same for system memory buffers.
This change will also mitigates #2940

If the allocation query received from downstream doesn't handle GstVideoMeta but
it requests memory:DMABuf caps feature, it's incomplete, so we rather reject the
negotiation.
Both in base decoder, base transform and compositor.

This is a simplification of the venerable
gst_va_base_dec_get_preferred_format_and_caps_features() function, which
predates since gstreamer-vaapi. It's used to select the format and the
capsfeature to use when setting the output state. It was complex and hard to
follow. This refactor simplifies a lot the algorithm.
The first thing to remove _downstream_has_video_meta() since, most of the time
it will be called before the caps negotiation, and allocation queries make sense
only after caps negotiation. It might work during renegotiation but, in that
case, caps feature change is uncommon. Better a simple and common approach.
Also, for performance, instead of dealing with caps features as strings, GQuarks
are used.
The refactor works like this:
1. If peer pad returns any caps, the returned caps feature is system memory and
looks for a proper format in the allowed caps.
2. The allowed caps are traversed at most 3 times: one per each valid caps
feature. First VAMemory, later DMABuf, and last system memory. The first to
match in allowed caps is picked, and the first format matching with the
chroma is picked too.
Notice that, right now, using playbin videoconvert never return any.

The output of VP9 and AV1 encoder is a little different from the H264
and H265 encoder, it may contain repeat frames and so the output frame
number may be more than the input. We need to call finish_subframe()
when some frame will be repeated later. So we need to extend the
current prepare_output() virtual function.

The input of the vacompositor may be DMA buffers. And in this case, the input
caps has the format=DMA_DRM, which can not be recognized by base video
aggregator class' find_best_format() function. So we need to override the
update_caps() virtual function.
Also we consider the DMA kind caps in negotiated_src_caps() for output.

When creating a new VA pool set config size to zero because it's not used.

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.

In the case of encoders and filters when importing a DMABuf, use
GstVideoInfoDmaDrm to get the drm fourcc and modifier.
In both cases, instead of keeping the original GstVideoInfoDmaDrm from caps, the
GstVideoInfo part of the structure is converted as canonical one, given the
format from the fourcc. It's kept in the way to handle V4L2 linear DMABufs and
to avoid too many changes in the current code.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/5264>
Instead of guessing the DRM format and modifier, pass a DRM video info to
gst_va_dmabuf_memories_setup().
Still, it checks for the DRM parameters in DRM info, if they are not available,
as in the case of V4L2 buffers, the part of the video info is used.
This is an API breakage, but since the plugin is still in stage, it's still
allowed.
