This add src format validation, this avoid registering element for
drivers we don't support any of their src formats. This also special
case the AlphaDecodeBin wrapper, as we know that alphacombine element
only support I420 and NV12 for now.

codecalpha is a new plugin introduced to support VP8/VP9 alpha as
defined in the WebM and Matroska specifications. It splits the stream
into two streams, one for the alpha and one for the actual content,
then it decodes them separately with vpxdec and finally combine the
results as A420 or AV12 (i.e. YUV + an extra alpha plane).
The workflow above is setup by means of a bin, gstcodecalphabin.
This patch simulates the same workflow into the v4l2codecs namespace,
thus using the new v4l2 stateless decoders for hardware acceleration.
This is so we can register the new alpha decode elements only if the
hardware produces formats we support, i.e. I420 or NV12 for now.

The new H.264 uAPI requires that all drivers support
scaling matrix only as an option, when a non-flat
scaling matrix is provided in the bitstream headers.
Take advantage of this and avoid passing the scaling
matrix if not needed.

Frame-based decoding mode doesn't require SLICE_PARAMS and
PRED_WEIGHTS controls.
Moreover, if the driver doesn't support these two controls, trying
to set them will fail. Fix this by only setting these on
slice-based decoding mode.

This adds a non-thread safe refcount to the GstV4l2Request. This will
allow holding on more then one request in order to implement render
delay. This is made non-thread safe for speed as we know this will all
happen on the same streaming thread.

Starting from this patch, all queue and dequeue operation happening
on V4L2 is now abstracted with the request. Buffers are dequeued
automatically when pending requests are marked done and only 1 in-flight
request is now used.
Along with fixing issues with request not being reused with slice
decoders, this change reduces the memory footprint by allocating only
two bitstream buffers.

Managing reference picture type by using two variables
(ref and long_term) seems to be redundant and that can be
represented by using a single enum value.
This is to sync this implementation with gstreamer-vaapi so that
make comparison between this and gstreamer-vaapi easier and also
in order to minimize the change required for subclass to be able
to support interlaced.

All subclasses are retrieving list to get target output frame, which
can be done by baseclass. And pass the ownership of the GstH264Picture
to subclass so that subclass can clear implementation dependent resources
before finishing the frame.

In slice mode, we'll do one request per slice. In order to recycle
bitstream buffer, and not run-out, wait for the last pending
request to complete and mark it done.
We only wait after having queued the current slice in order to reduce
that potential driver starvation and maintain performance (using dual
buffering).

There was a missing break for the 4:4:4 case which would break the sizeimage
calculation. We don't currently have hardware that supports 4:4:4, so this
code wasn't tested. This was detected by Coverity.

The Cedrus driver would otherwise choose 1KB buffer, which is too small.
This follows what some drivers do, which is simply to use the size a
packed raw image would have. Specifications do not really guaranty any minimum
compression ratio.

This adds support for slice based decoder like the Allwinner/Cedrus driver. In
order to keep things efficient, we hold the sink buffer until we reach the end
of the picture. Note that as we don't know which one is last, we lazy queue the
slices. This effectively introduces one slice latency.

This code add required mechanism to try and allocate (not implemented yet)
otherwise wait for more buffers. This also comes with mechanism to terminate
the wait on flush or PAUSED_TO_READY transitions.
Use a goto to ensure that for all cases we cleanup the current picture state.
And move the src buffer allocation higher, so we don't queue a bitstream
buffer if we don't have a picture buffer to decode into.
This allow negotiating the output format through caps. Some drivers can
pipeline the decoder buffer through an image processor. This only support
colorspace conversion for now.
In some case, when downstream does not support GstVideoMeta, we need to
normalize the stride and offset of the buffer so that downstream can render
properly with a GstVideoMeta. This code is not called when GstVideoMeta is
supported downstream.
Don't let downstream cause a renegotiation at random point in time. This would
lead to spurious renegotiation and the decoder state may not be recoverable.
We now pass the controls, associated to a request, queue the bitstream, qeueue
a picture buffer to decode into and finally queue the request. This now runs
until the buffer pool is exhausted. The next step will be to dequeue.
In this patch we fill the control structure with the bitstream paramter and
copy the bitstream data into V4L2 memory. Slice paramters are only the subset
of what Hantro needs, without any support for interlaced content.
