Pipeline such as:
gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,colorimetry=\(string\)bt709 \
! videoscale ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! fakesink
Always trigger a error:
ERROR video-info video-info.c:556:gst_video_info_from_caps: no width property given
Because it is called before the fixate_size(), the src caps' resolution
may be absent or not fixed. That causes that the src video info can not
be created correctly and we can not inherit the colorimetry and chroma-site
from the input caps.

Returning TRUE from the `transform_meta` function tells
GstBaseTransform to copy the meta into the new buffer. If videoscale
has already transformed a meta by scaling it, it should always return
FALSE to avoid duplicating the meta.

Since d0133a2d11 "videoconvert: Allow
passthrough for ANY caps features" videoconvert will always claim that
it supports any kind of memory which is true in very specific case (when
it is running in passthrough mode). To get elements that autoplug
converters depending on the caps running in the pipeline (like
autovideoconvert), we need to have converters no lie about what they can
do when queried `accept_caps` or `query_caps`.
This still accepts any caps feature as before but it introduces
a restriction in the way we handle memory capsfeatures.
We keep previous behaviour in videoconvert and videoscale.

Now that videoconvert and videoscale's are both based on
GstVideoConverter and are using the exact same code, it makes much more
sense to have one element doing the two operation, and it can be
more efficient in some cases (one single path for both operations).
This removes the `videoscale` and `videoconvert` plugins but keeps the element
but makes them also do both operations (adding some APIs to each element).
There is a small change in API for the `videoscale:dither` property which
was previously a totally unused boolean, it is now an enum and is used.
