The current way of DMA buffer mapping is simply forwarding the job
to parent's map function, which is a mmap(). That can not handle the
non-linear buffers, such as tiling, compressed, etc. The incorrect
mapping of such buffers causes broken images, which are recognized
as bugs. We should directly block this kind of mapping to avoid the
misunderstanding.

The problem is for uploading YUV frames using derived images, is that
derived images imply tiling, so frames are wrongly uploaded.
Though derived for reading might work we cannot know the Intel graphics
generation to validate the caching. Overall, it's safer to disable derived
images for i965.

Implementation of mem_copy() virtual method for GstVaAllocator.
It's a deep copy where a new VA memory is popped out from the pool or,
if pool is empty, a new memory is allocated. The original memory is
mapped to read, and if its VAImage is not derived and size to copy is
the whole surface, the mapped VAImage of the original memory is put in
the new memory. Otherwise a slow memcpy is done between both memories.
Fixes: #1568

Derived images are direct maps to surfaces bits, but in Intel Gen7 to
Gen9, that memory is not cachable, thus reading can be very slow (it
might produce timeout is tests such as fluster).
This patch tries first to define if derived images are possible, and
later use them only if mapping is not for reading.

The AV1 codec needs to support the film grain feature. When the film
grain feature is enabled, we need two surfaces as the output of the
decoded picture, one without film grain effect and the other one with
it. The first one acts as the reference and is needed for later pictures'
reconstruction, and the second one is the real display output.
So we need to attach another aux surface to the gst buffer/mem and make
that aux surface as the target of vaBeginPicture.

One problem that va dmabuf allocator had is when preparing a buffer from
dmabuf memories in the allocator pool, specially when a buffer is composed by
several memories. This memories have to be by certain number and in certain
order.
This patch stores the number of memories and their address in order when a
dmabuf-based buffer is created and when preparing a buffer, it is reconstructed
with this info.
Finally, instead of pushing the memories as soon as they are unrefed, they are
hold until GstVaBufferSurface's ref_mems_count reaches zero (all the memories
related with that buffer/surface are unrefed). Until that happen, all the
memories are pushed back into the queue, locked, assuring that all the memories
related with a single buffer (with the same surface) remain contiguous, so the
buffer reconstruction is assured.

In order to honor GST_BUFFER_POOL_ACQUIRE_FLAG_DONTWAIT in VA pool, allocators'
wait_for_memory() has to be decoupled from their prepare_buffer() so it could be
called in pools' acquire_buffer() if the flag is not set.
wait_for_memory() functions are blocking so the received memories are assigned
to the fist requested buffer, if multithreaded calls. For this a new mutex were
added.

An application, using for example appsink, can hold buffers from any
va allocator after setting the pipeline to NULL. We need to destroy
the allocator when that memory is unrefed.
This patch juggles a bit with the allocator reference count in
memories in order to achieve this:
1. When memory is created no alloc ref is modified
2. When memory is released, alloc ref is decreased
3. When memory is reassiged to a buffer, alloc ref is increased
4. When memory is flushed, alloc ref is increased becase it is going
to be decreased in gst_memory_unref()
Also this patch moves the deallocation of member variables to
finalize() rather than dispose()

When gst_va_dmabuf_allocator_setup_buffer_full() receives info (not NULL) it is
supposed that this buffer is not part of the allocator pool, so it has to be
de-allocated as soon it is freed.
This patch sets the destroy notify of the assigned GstVaBufferSurface if info is
not NULL.

Use this standalone function to update the allocator info and make
all ensure_image() and mem_alloc() API clean.
We also change the default way of using image. We now set the non
derive manner as the default manner, and if it fails, then fallback
to the derived image manner.
On a lot of platforms, the derived image does not have caches, so the
read and write operations have very low performance.

Moving the parameters testing and setting from the allocator_alloc_full()
to the allocator_try(). The allocator_alloc_full() will be called every
time when we need to allocate a new memory. But all these parameters such
as the surface and the image format, rt_format, etc, are unchanged during
the whole allocator lifetime. Just setting them in set_format() is enough.

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

Every time a new surface is created the counter increases by one, and when it is
destroyed (or will be destroyed in case of GstVaAllocator), the counter is
decreased. Then, at allocator dispose, it is warning if the counter is not zero.
This counter will be also used to check if the allocator can change its
configuration if the counter is zero or can not.

1. Allocators don't implement memory free() methods since all the memories will
implement dispose() returning FALSE
2. Memory/miniobject dispose() will act as memory release, enqueueing the
release memory
3. A new allocator's method prepare_buffer() which queries the released memory
queue and will add the requiered memories to the buffer.
4. Allocators added a GCond to synchronize dispose() and prepare_buffer()
5. A new allocator's method flush() which will free for real the memories.
While the bufferpool will
1. Remove all the memories at reset_buffer()
2. Implement acquire_buffer() calling allocator's prepare_buffer()
3. Implement flush_start() calling allocator's flush()
4. start() is disabled since it pre-allocs buffers but also calls
our reset_buffer() which will drop the memories and later the
buffers are ditched, something we don't want. This approach avoids
buffer pre-allocation.

Renamed the first variable member of GstVaMemory from parent to mem in
order to avoid confusion with GstMemory's parent.
When freeing the structure, memory's parent is check in order to
decide if surfaces has to be destroyed or not, since only the parent
class have to destroy it.
Removed GST_MEMORY_FLAG_NO_SHARE in memory initialization, since it is
deprecated.
Implemented allocator's share virtual method which creates a new
shallow GstVaMemory structure based on the passed one which will be
it's parent.

This function will take an array of DMABuf GstMemory and an array of
fd, and create a VASurfaceID with those fds. Later that VASurfaceID is
attached to each DMABuf through GstVaBufferSurface.
In order to free the surface GstVaBufferSurface now have GstVaDisplay
member, and _buffer_surface_unref() were added.

There are, in VPP, surfaces that doesn't support 4:2:2 fourccs but it
supports the chroma. So this patch gives that opportunity to the
driver.
This patch also simplifiies
gst_va_video_surface_format_from_image_format() to just an iterator
for surfaces available formats.
