In case of streaming, controlling bitrate dynamically for encoder might be
important to manage quality of the streaming.
This patch is to support such a scenario.

VPP support is only needed for advanced deinterlacing, which is not
enabled by default either. Error out if it is selected but VPP is not
supported, and otherwise just work without VPP support.

gstreamer-vaapi initializes the display by trial-and-error, thus
logging an error message if the display initialisation fails the user
may be weary of the error message in the screen, if using VA-API 1.0
This commit set the VA error log handler to GStreamer warning level
while calling vaInitialize() and set it to error after that.

When creating the test display for querying capabilites, it try in
certain order: DRM, Wayland and finally X11. GLX nor EGL are tried
since they are either composited with X11 or Wayland.
The reason for this is to reduce the posibility of failure that could
blacklist the plugin.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782212
GstVaapiDisplayEGL is a wrapper of another GstVaapiDisplay, either X11
or Wayland. Nonetheless it created another vaDisplay for it, instead
of using the wrapped one.
This patch enables the reuse of the wrapped vaDisplay avoiding
instantiating two.

We returned FALSE from ::start() if VPP support is not available, but it
is only really needed for complex filters and during transform we check
for that. For simple deinterlacing it is not needed.
Instead of reusing a parameter variable for the return value of
gst_vaapipostproc_transform_caps(), this patch uses the function
scoped pointer. Thus, the code is cleaner.

Instead of reusing a parameter variable for the return value of
gst_vaapipostproc_fixate_caps(), this patch uses the function scoped

When glimagesink negotiates the caps feature memory:DMABuf the
exported dmabufs buffers with NV12 format are not well rendered, thus
setting only planar.

Instead of using the gst_vaapi_display_get_property(), this patch
replaces it with g_object_get_property() to dump the available VA
display properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788058
Instead of using gst_vaapi_display_set_property() or
gst_vaapi_display_get_property(), this patch set replace it usage
with g_object_set() or g_object_get().
Also the internal helper cb_set_value() is removed since it is not
used anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788058
This is a difference between the GObject API and the GstVaapi one: the
GValue passed to get a property value, in GObject has to be
initialized with g_value_init(), but in GstVaapi is has not.
In order to overcome this mismatch, this patch call g_value_init()
internally only in the passed one is not already initialized.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788058
Shuffled some code to avoid to find the properties descriptor in the
array twice, adding the internal functions _set_property() and
_get_property().

Fixes regression introduced by commit 2eb2b26a.
There is a use case when the decoder set the src caps and immediatly
tries to process the media codec_data, this happens before decoder is
even opened, thus priv->parser is not instantiated yet.

Instead of handling the macroblock bitrate control as a integer, this
patch changes it as a enum, which is more self documented in the
GStreamer elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787855
This patch fixes a regression introduced in commit 148f867c, since the
props variable is set to object's member variable
encoder->properties. And it is set in the instance initialization,
thus it will not be leaked.

Creates 2 properties, qp-ip and qp-ib for setting different QP for P/B

Creates 2 properties, qp-ip and qp-ib for setting different QP for P/B
frames
and set slice_qp_delta for each frame according to the value provided.
In addition, remove the limitation of (<= 4) when setting
slice_qp_delta.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785923
Creates new variable for QP for I frame and keep it at configuration and
use this for pic_init_qp and slice_qp_delta setting.
Since changing min qp doesn't make sense, keep min qp as is.

This is doing the same as h264 encoder as the following:
Using num_ref_frames provided and the result of the Query
VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames, it determines the size of reference list
and perform encoding with multi reference frames as the following:
1\ The num_ref_frames is being considered as the number of
reference picture list0
2\ Encoder adds 1 reference frame more to the reference picture list1
internally if b-frame encoding.
3\ If num_ref_frames is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
Also this patch includes:
- Set num_negative_pics and num_positive_pics according to the number of
refs.
- Set delta_poc according to the number of refs.
- Increase max_dec_pic_buffering according to the number of refs
- Change max_num_reorder_pics according to num of bframes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783804
Users can provide the number of reference frame by this property,
which is exaclty same as h264.
The value of the property will be considered as the number of
reference picture list0 and will add 1 reference frame more to the
reference picture list1 internally if b-frame encoding.
If the value provided is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
The maximum value is aligned to the value of the driver supported now.

Follows the specification as below:
7.4.7.1 in Rec. ITU-T H.265 v4 (12/2016)
num_ref_idx_active_override_flag equal to 1 specifies that the syntax
element num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1 is present for P and B slices and
that the syntax element num_ref_idx_l1_active_minus1 is present for B
slices.
num_ref_idx_active_override_flag equal to 0 specifies that the syntax
elements num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1 and num_ref_idx_l1_active_minus1
are not present.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783804
Remove FIXME code, which makes previous assignation spurious.
This also means to make idr_period equal to keyframe period,
which is same as h264 encoder.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783804
Make sure vaapisink create a va surface backed buffer pool and all
required attributes get assigned correctly for drm display type.
This is needed to make the below pipeline working:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location= raw_video.mov ! videoparse format=uyvy
width=320 height=240 framerate=30/1 ! vaapisink display=drm
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786954
A new FEI based encoder element for h264 is added: vaapih264feienc
FEI is a an extension to VA-API which is providing low level
advanced control over different stages of encoding.
Extending vaapih264enc with fei support is possible, but it will
make the code too much complicated and will be difficult
to debug. So adding the new encoder element, but keeping
the rank as 0 , vaapih264enc will stay as the primary
encoder for normal use cases.
The vaaih264feienc is mainly useful for customers who want to play
with MotionVectors and Macroblock Predictions. Also user can
do one stage of encoding(eg: only the Motion Vector Calculation)
in software and offload trasformation/entroy-coding etc to
Hardware (which is what PAK module is doing) using FEI element.
vaapih264feienc can work in different modes using fei-mode properoty
eg: gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! vaapih264feienc fei-mode=ENC+PAK ! filesink location=sample.264
Important Note: ENC only mode won't produce any encoded data which is expected.
But ENC alwys requires the output of PAK in order to do the inter-prediction
over reconstructed frames.
Similary PAK mode alway requires MV and MBCode as input, so unless there is an
upstream element providing those buffers, PAK only won't work as expected.
In a nutshell, ENC_PAK and the ENC+PAK modes are the only options we can verify
with vaapih264feienc. But ideally, EN+PAK mode verification is enough to make sure
that ENC and PAK are working as expected since ENC+PAK mode always invoke ENC and PAK
separately in vaapih264feienc.

Adding FEI encoder to core lib.
The code is splitted into three session:
1: gstvaapiencoder_h264_fei.{h,c}
This is the replica of gstvaapiencoder_h264.{c,h} but with FEI.
All the modes ENC, PAK and ENC_PAK are running based
the code in these files.
2: gstvaapifeienc_h264.{h,c}
Abstract implementation intended for ENC (only VME) operation.
3: gstvaapifeipak_h264.{h,c}
Abstrct implementation intended for PAK (only the PAK module)
Right now ENC_PAK, ENC and PAK are running based on code
in gstvaapiencoder_h264_fei.{h,c}. The abstract implementations
in gstvaapifeienc_h264.{h,c} and gstvaapifeipak_h264.{h,c} are
needed if user request for ENC+PAK mode operation.
ENC+PAK: Here we need to invoke two sequence of
vaBeginPicture/vaRenderPicutre/vaEndPicture for each frame,
first for the ENC only and the second for PAK only.
Each mode associated with separate context ,but same pool of surfaces are
shared between the modes.
This is more useful once we have custom BRC algorithms.
