Instead of recalculating the miscellaneous buffer parameters for
every buffer, it is only done once, when the encoder is configured.
And for every buffer, the same structures are just copied.

This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.
It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.
I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.

Move the Hypothetical Reference Decoder (HRD) parameter, from
ensure_misc_params() to ensure_control_rate_params(), since it
only shall be defined when the control rate is either VBR or CBR.

Right now, H264 and HEVC can set as a property the number of slices to
process. But each driver can set a maximum number of slices, depending
on the supported profile & entry point.
This patch verifies the current num_slices to process against the maximum
permitted by the driver and the media size.

This patch adds the handling of VAEncMiscParameterTypeQualityLevel,
in gstreamer-vaapi encoders:
The encoding quality could be set through this structure, if the
implementation supports multiple quality levels. The quality level set
through this structure is persistent over the entire coded sequence, or
until a new structure is being sent. The quality level range can be queried
through the VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange attribute. A lower value means
higher quality, and a value of 1 represents the highest quality. The quality
level setting is used as a trade-off between quality and speed/power
consumption, with higher quality corresponds to lower speed and higher power
consumption.
The quality level is set by the element's parameter "quality-level" with a
hard-coded range of 1 to 8.
Later, when the encoder is configured in run time, just before start
processing, the quality level is scaled to the codec range. If
VAConfigAttribEncQualityRange is not available in the used VA backend, then
the quality level is set to zero, which means "disabled".
All the available codecs now process this parameter if it is available.

If the profile is main-10 the bit_depth_luma_minus8, in the sequence
parameter buffer, shall be the color format bit depth minus 8, 10-8
which is 2. Also for bit_depth_chroma_minus8.
This patch gets the negotiated sink caps format and queries its
luma's depth and uses that value to fill the mentioned parameters.

Implements gst_vaapi_utils_h26x_write_nal_unit(), which writes NAL
unit length and data to a bitwriter.
Note that this helper function applies EPB (Emulation Prevention
Bytes), since otherwise produced codec_data might be broken when
decoder/parser considering EPB, starts parsing.
See sections 7.3 and 7.4 of the H264 and H264 specifications, which
describes the emulation_prevention_three_byte.

Since there is duplicated code in h264/265 encoder, we could
refactor it to avoid duplicated code.

Validate that fps numerator is non-zero so it can be used to calculate
the duration of the B frame.
Also it gst_util_uint64_scale() is used instead of normal arithmetic in
order to aviod overflows, underflows and loss of precision.

After setting the release flags, the compiler warns about a couple
initialized variables.
Also marked a couple of set variables as unused, because they are only
used for assertion.

The approximation of 6 times compression ratio migh not
work in all cases. Especially when enabling I frames.
Provide large enough size for coded-buffer creation.
