If buffers were released from the pool while
gst_omx_video_enc_handle_frame() was waiting for new buffers,
gst_omx_port_acquire_buffer() was never awaken as the buffers weren't
released through OMX's messaging system.
GQueue isn't thread safe so also protect it with the lock mutex.
Propose pool upstream so input buffers can be allocated by the port and
exported as dmabuf.
The actual OMX buffers are allocated when the pool is activated, so we
don't end up doing useless allocations if the pool isn't used.

Increase the number of output buffers by the number of buffers requested
downstream.
Prevent buffers starvation if downstream is going to use dynamic buffer
mode on its input.

The OMX specs states that the nBufferCountActual of a port has to default
to its nBufferCountMin. If we don't change nBufferCountActual we purely rely
on this default. But in some cases, OMX may change nBufferCountMin before we
allocate buffers. Like for example when configuring the input ports with the
actual format, it may decrease the number of minimal buffers required.
This method checks this and update nBufferCountActual if needed so we'll use
less buffers than the worst case in such scenarios.
SetParameter() needs to be called when the port is either disabled or
the component in the Loaded state.
Don't do this for the decoder output as
gst_omx_video_dec_allocate_output_buffers() already check
nBufferCountMin when computing the number of output buffers.
On some platform, like rpi, the default nBufferCountActual is much
higher than nBufferCountMin so only enable this using a specific gst-omx
hack.

0xffffffff is the magic number in gst-omx meaning 'the default value
defined in OMX'. This works fine with OMX parameters which are only set
once when starting the component but not with configs which can be
changed while PLAYING.
Save the actual OMX default bitrate so we can restore it later if user
sets back 0xffffffff on the property.
Added GST_OMX_PROP_OMX_DEFAULT so we stop hardcoding magic numbers
everywhere.

The OMX specs defines 8 headers that implementations can use to define
their custom extensions. We were checking and including 3 and ignoring
the other ones.

This hack tries to pass as much information as possible from caps to the
decoder before it receives any buffer. These information can be used by
the OMX decoder to, for example, pre-allocate its internal buffers
before starting to decode and so reduce its initial latency.
This mechanism is currently supported by the zynqultrascaleplus decoder.

The Zynq UltraScale+ encoder implements a custom OMX extension to
directly import dmabuf saving the need of mapping input buffers.
This can be use with either 'v4l2src io-mode=dmabuf' or an OMX video
decoder upstream.

OMX 1.2.0 introduced a third way to manage buffers by allowing
components to only allocate buffers header during their initialization
and change their pBuffer pointer at runtime.
This new feature can save us a copy between GStreamer and OMX for each
input buffer.
This patch adds API to allocate and use such buffers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787093
This information can be useful to zynqultrascaleplus decoders. They may
use this information to reduce startup latency by configuring itself
before receiving the first frames.
We also have a custom OMX extension allowing the decoder to report the
latency. The profile/level information helps it reporting a more
accurate latency earlier.

egl_render seems to have a bug and signals EOS before it has finished
pushing out all data; this hack simply makes acquire_buffer() wait
a bit more before signalling EOS, in case egl_render decides to spit
out some more data.

No mutex is locked while calling any OpenMAX functions anymore
and everything from the OpenMAX callbacks is inserted into a message
queue and handled from outside the callbacks.
Also there's only a single mutex and condition variable per component
now for handling anything from OpenMAX callbacks and a single mutex
for keeping our component/port state sane.
