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

and set slice_qp_delta for each frame according to the value provided.

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

In addition, remove the limitation of (<= 4) when setting
slice_qp_delta.

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.

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.

MbCode, MV and Distortion buffers (fei codec objects)
can be treated as output of different fei modes based user request.
For eg: MbCode and MV are the output of ENC only. MbCode, MV and Dist
can be dumped as output in ENC_PAK mode for analysis purpose.
So treating them as a part of CodedBufferProxy too.
Here we avoided Qp, MbControl and MvPredictor codec objects since
there is no practical use case of treating them as "output buffers".

Add fei codec objects to surface proxy since handling the
fei buffers(codec objects here) external to gstvaapisurfaceproxy
will make the code complicated. Especially considering the behavior
of encoder where the input frame order from upstream and output
frame order to the downstream are not sequential.

There are 6 new va buffer types, each defined as a specific codec object.
Borrowed the code from gstvaapicodecobject , but made a clear separation
to avoid any possible mess-up. Because unlike the other gstvaaicodecobjects,
feicodecobjects can be shared between elements and also can be accessed
from different thread.
Unlike the other fei codecs object, VAEncMiscParameterTypeFEIFrameControl
object is not shared between elements.So we utilize the already
existing gst_vaapi_enc_misc_param_new(), but still keeping the code
in gstvaapfei_objects_priv.h in order to have a better
code readability.
Fixme:
-- Probably we need _locked_map() and _unlocked_map()
-- Context can be associated with PreEnc(not just Enoder)
once we have the proper support inplace, but for now we don't have
PreEnc support, so should be safe enough to use GstVaapiEncoder.

Add a new vitrual method ensure_secondary_context to the
base encoder which is only required for the FEI entrypoint, that too
only when user configures the ENC+PAK mode. ENC+PAK mode is not something
supported directly by libva or driver, but this can be enabled
from the middleware.

Drops non-base NALs when the base-only property is set to TRUE.
This modifies the behavior for MVC streams with base-only too: All the
non-base units are dropped before they are decoded instead of dropping
the non-base frames.
The relevant part from the H264 spec is:
> Decoders that conform to one or more of the profiles specified in
Annex A rather than the profiles specified in Annexes G or H shall
ignore (remove from the bitstream and discard) the contents of all NAL
units with nal_unit_type equal to 14, 15, or 20.
To eliminate side effects from the offending units:
- PPS's with a broken seq_parameter_set_id (referring to dropped subset
SPS's) are ignored.
- The NAL parsing is skipped and their flags are set to
GST_VAAPI_DECODER_UNIT_FLAG_SKIP.
- Prefix units are not stored in prev_pi. Otherwise, parse_slice() would
use them even if they are flagged to be skipped. Subset SPS's and slice
extension units are not stored there either.

In VA-API 1.0 the enum VAEncPackedHeaderH264_SEI is deprecated, and
instead VAEncPackedHeaderRawData should be used.
This patch creates a compatibility symbol,
VA_ENC_PACKED_HEADER_H264_SEI, to expose the used enum according the
VA-API version.

In VA-API 1.0 the union bits in VAEncMiscParameterBufferROI has
renamed one member from roi_value_is_qp_delat to
roi_value_is_qp_delta, which is the correct name.
In order to keep back compatibility a macro has added to access this
union member.

ip_period is assigned first to be rewritter inmediatly after. The
