This marker is optional, its name refer to RTP marker bit. This mark can
be use to reduce latency in various use cases. With the split between
finish_frame() and finish_subframe() we will now be able to identitfy
the last subframe with no latency.
In order to detail the use of GST_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER in a video
use case, the flag GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER has been introduced
with a proper documentation clarifying marker's role.
Introduce a new API so encoders can split the encoding in subframes.
This can be useful to reduce the overall latency as we no longer need to
wait for the full frame to be encoded to start decoding or sending it.
... if subclass didn't update values. Note that the mastering-display-info
and content-light-level might be updated by user defined value (e.g., encoding option).
Release STREAM_LOCK before calling gst_pad_push() and take it
back afterward so that upstream isn't blocked while output
buffer is being pushed downstream.

The lock is already taken before calling the flush method and can lead to
deadlock for some encoders that need to take the same lock from another
thread while flushing

It allows encoders to detect and drop input frames which are already
late to increase the chance of the pipeline to catch up.
The QoS logic and code is directly copied from gstvideodecoder.c.

Since the allocation query caps contains memory size and the pad's caps
contains the display size, a video encoder or decoder might need to allocate
a different frame size than the size negotiated in the caps.
This patch splits this logic distinction for videodecoder and videoencoder.
The user if needs a different allocation caps, should set the allocation_caps
in the GstVideoCodecState before calling negotiate() vmethod. Otherwise the
allocation_caps will be the same as the caps set in the src pad.

POOL meta just means that this specific instance of the meta is related to a
pool, a copy should be made when reasonable and the flag should just not be
set in the copy.
Add flags and enums to support multiview signalling in
GstVideoInfo and GstVideoFrame, and the caps serialisation and
deserialisation.

This makes sure that the element is in the same state before start() is called
the very first time and every future call after the element was used already.
Also it ensure that we always have a clean state before start(), cleaned the
same way in every case.
The stop() vfunc might mess with some of our fields we have just
reset, which could cause memory leaks or invalid state taken over
to later.
Also the stop() vfunc, or anything called until it from another thread,
might want to be able to use the fields that were just resetted and
become confused because of that.
In the decoder we already had a workaround for things like this happening,
this workaround is not needed anymore.
Refactor the encoder's caps query proxying function to a common place
and use it in the videodecoder to proxy downstream restrictions.
The new function is private to the gstvideo lib.
