Added a new property "low-power-enc" for enabling low power
encoding mode. Certain encoding tools may not be available
with the VAEntrypointEncSliceLP.

Add support for H.264 MVC Multiview High profile encoding with
more than 2 views. All views within the same accesss unit are
provided in increasing order of view order index (VOIdx).
Upto 10 view are supported for now.
A new property "view-ids" has been provided for the plugins to
set the view ids (which is an array of guint values) to be used
for mvc encoding.

Add initial support for Subset SPS, Prefix NAL and Slice Extension NAL
for non-base-view streams encoding, and the usual SPS, PPS and Slice
NALs for base-view encoding.
The H.264 Stereo High profile encoding mode will be turned on when the
"num-views" parameter is set to 2. The source (raw) YUV frames will be
considered as Left/Right view, alternatively.
Each of the two views has its own frames reordering pool and reference
frames list management system. Inter-view references are not supported
yet, so the views are encoded independently from each other.

Fix default CPB buffer size to something more reasonable (1500 ms)
and that still fits the level limits. This is a non configurable
property for now. The initial CPB removal delay is also fixed to
750 ms.

Allow user to precise the largest profile to use for encoding due
to target decoder constraints. For instance, if CABAC entropy coding
mode is requested by "constrained-baseline" profile only is desired,
then an error is returned during codec configuration.
Also make sure that the suitable profile we derived actually matches
what the HW can cope with.

Automatically derive the minimum profile and level to be used for
encoding, based on the activated coding tools. The encoder will
be trying to generate a bitstream that has the best chances to be
decoded on most platforms by default.
Also change the default profile to "constrained-baseline" so that
to ensure maximum compatibility when the stream is decoded.

The libgstvaapi core encoders are meant to support raw bitstreams only.
Henceforth, we are always producing a stream in "byte-stream" format.
However, the "codec-data" buffer which holds SPS and PPS headers is
always available. The "lengthSizeMinusOne" field is always set to 3
so that in-place "byte-stream" format to "avc" format conversion could
be performed.
Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: rename some
variables, drop unused macro definitions, drop initialization of vars
that are zero-initialized from the base class, drop un-necessary casts.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_keyframe_period() interface to allow the
user control the maximum distance between two keyframes. This new
property can only be set prior to gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state().
A value of zero for "keyframe-period" gets it re-evaluated to the
actual framerate during encoder reconfiguration.
Add interface to communicate configurable properties to the encoder.
This covers both the common ones (rate-control, bitrate), and the
codec specific properties.
