It creates a new structure for passing the codec quality structure at _start(),
where it will be filled. The quality level can be set or changed according
encoder limits.
Later the quality level will be set at _update_session_parameters() and at each
frame encoding. That's why it has to be set at _start().

The algorithm for generating the current slot index is a simple round robin,
nonetheless it's not assured that the next slot index it's not still used by a
still living encode picture.
This new way holds an array with the still living encode pictures and the next
slot index looks for a released index in the array.
Its downside is deallocating a picture need to be removed from the array, so the
helper has to be passed to the uninit() function

In GStreamer that buffer information is decoupled, holding other structures to
describe the stream: GstCaps. So, to keep the GStreamer design this patch
removes these information from GstVulkanEncoderPicture and pass to
gst_vulkan_encoder_encode() a pointer to GstVideoInfo.

That's the number of references that gst_vulkan_encoder_encode() receives to
process, so it has to go as a parameter, because it's part of the reference
list, not of the picture.
This commit also modified unit tests accordingly.

The structure already stored the generic video capabilities and the specific
codec capabilities both for encoding an decoding. The generic decoder
capabilities weren't stored because it was only used internally in the decoder
helper object. Nonetheless, for the encoder, the elements will need the generic
encoder capabilities to configure the encoding. That's why it's required to
expose it as part of GstVulkanVideoCapabilities. And the generic decoder is
included for the sake of symmetry.
While updating the API vkvideoencodeh265 test got some code-style fixes.

Instead of dragging the last destination pipeline stage as current barrier
source pipeline stage (which isn't a valid semantic) this patch adds a parameter
to gst_vulkan_operation_add_frame_barrier() to set the source pipeline stage to
define the barrier.
The previous logic brought problems particularly with queue transfers, when the
new queue doesn't support the stage set during a previous operation in a
different queue.
Now the operation API is closer to Vulkan semantics.
