MaxDpbSize specified in A.4.2 tells upper bound of decoded picture
buffer size but does not tell actual required size.
Use max_dec_pic_buffering value as a dpb size. Some backends
such as DXVA and NVDEC might require pre-allocated DPB buffer
and unnecessary large DPB size will result in waste of GPU memory.

The v4l2codecs H.265 decoder uses the
GstH265SliceHdr::entry_point_offset_minus1 array so make sure that it is not
freed before decoding the frame.
Before this patch, some H.265 input would segfault in
gst_v4l2_codec_h265_dec_fill_slice_params() when executing the line:
guint32 entry_point_offset = slice_hdr->entry_point_offset_minus1[i] + 1;
Make sure that the array is not freed before using it.

If DPB is full already, GstH265Decoder::new_picture() might fail if
subclass uses fixed size picture pool and its size is equal to the DPB
size. Call the new_picture() after DPB is cleared in gst_h265_decoder_dpb_init()

The h265decoder class does not implement the ->parse() virtual function,
and we always need to add the h265parse element before it. So we should
set_needs_format of the decoder to TRUE, then if no parse before it, it
can fail with a "not-negotiated" error early, rather than go on and
generate unexpected error.

Currently the element calls abort when failed to prepare reference
picture set. This can happent when the input stream is somehow
corrupted, like a rtsp strem with lost packets. Now it will only
return with GST_FLOW_ERROR instead of terminating whole process.

In theory, input caps can be updated anytime at non-keyframe or
sequence boundary, such as HDR10 metadata, framerate, aspect-ratio
or so. Those information update might not trigger ::new_sequence()
or subclass may ignore the changes.
By this commit, input state change will be tracked by baseclass
and subclass will be able to know the non-decoding-essential
update by checking the codec specific picture struct
on ::output_picture()

It may happens that bitstream doesn't provided SPS in decoding order
(like in VPSSPSPPS_A_MainConcept_1 conformance test file).
To be sure that the decoder got the correct SPS parameters process
SPS just before start decoding the frame.

Use newly added gst_h265_parser_identify_and_split_nalu_hevc()
method to handle broken streams where packetized NAL unit
contain start code prefix in it.
It's obviously wrong stream but we know how to work around it
and even need to support such broken streams since
stateless decoder implementations are being a primary
decoder element.

Baseclass calls get_preferred_output_delay() in a chain of
sequence header parsing and then new_sequence() is called
with required DPB size (includes render-delay) information.
Thus latency query should happen before the sequence header
parsing for subclass to report required render-delay accordingly
via get_preferred_output_delay() method.
(e.g., zero delay in case of live pipeline)
This commit is to fix wrong liveness signalling in case of
upstream packetized format.

Holding previously decoded but not outputted pictures even after
new_sequence is not a safe approach in various aspect.
However, we cannot drain out DPB on new_sequence() unconditionally,
because there is a case where decoder should drop decoded pictures
if NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag is set.
To detect NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag before the new_sequence() call,
this patch splits decoding process into two path, one for nal unit parsing
in order to detect NoOutputOfPriorPicsFlag and then each nal unit
will be decoded.

The GST_VIDEO_DECODER_ERROR() should be used only for robust/error-resilient
decoding purpose. Any other error codes such as not-negotiated or flushing
should be returned without modified for upstream to be able to handle
it immediately. (for example, application might want to try other
decoder element on not-negotiated)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/1070>
boolean return value is not sufficient for representing the reason
of error in most cases. For instance, any errors around new_sequence()
would mean negotiation error, not just *ERROR*.
And some subclasses will allocate buffer/memory/surface on new_picture()
but it could be failed because of expected error, likely flushing
