Try prioritizing downstream's caps over upstream's if possible so the
parser can configured in "passthrough" if possible and save it from
doing useless conversions.
Exact same change as the one I just did in h264parse.

The parser handles the downstream force-key-unit event incorrectly,
it tries to parse it as an upstream force-key-unit event, does not
check the return value, and then uses uninitialized memory in
"all_headers" boolean variable.

When sps data is NULL, the buffer allocated and mapped is not being freed.
In this scenario there is no need to allocate the buffer as we are supposed to return NULL.

This is to support byte-stream decoder that does not remember the
PPS/SPS after a flush. This is not needed by all decoders, but is
harmless for those that do remember.

As it's recursive, gst_pad_get_allowed_caps() may also return
empty for anything incompatible downstream. EMPTY is not valid caps
value for gst_caps_fixate(). This lead to assertion and then crash.
Ideally, the negotiate function should be re-factored to have a return
value, and we could make the negotiation fails earlier.

Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice. So we should relax the
profile restriction for allowing the decoder to get connected with parser.

VPS is not mandatory, and need not check for its presence before setting
the caps. Because of the check, in streams which don't have VPS,
sticky event mishandling happens.

Don't use the apis in codec-utils to extract the profile,tier and level
syntax elements since it is wrong if there are emulation prevention
bytes existing in the byte-stream data.

In ISO/IEC 14496-15, the minimum size of a HEVCDecoderConfigurationRecord
(i.e., the contents of a hvcC box) is 23 bytes. However, the code in h265parse
checks that the size of this data is not less than 28 bytes, and it refuses to
accept caps if the check fails. The result is that standards-conformant streams
that don't carry any parameter sets in their hvcC boxes won't play.
