Explicitly calls gst_vtenc_pause_output_loop when going PAUSED->READY to make sure GST_PAD_STREAM_LOCK is not taken.
Before this change, a deadlock would occur if pipeline got stopped right after one output buffer was generated by vtenc.

This was easy to trigger when testing with e.g. vtenc ! vtdec ! glimagesink and closing the sink via window button,
causing GST_FLOW_ERROR to be received by the output loop, stopping it with the queue still full. This made the
enqueue_buffer() callback to lock waiting for space in our queue, while handle_frame() was waiting for the internal
VideoToolbox queue to free up, so that VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame could finish. As the output loop was not
running, both functions waited forever.
Fixed by 1) immediately emptying our queue when GST_FLOW_ERROR is received (like we already did with _FLUSHING)
and 2) unconditionally setting the flushing flag in finish_encoding() when it sees the output loop stopped because
of GST_FLOW_ERROR, so that enqueue_buffer() will immediately discard any new frames coming out of VideoToolbox.
Both of those make sure we never run into the both-queues-full scenario.

vtenc has an async output queue, which we only iterate over after another frame is enqueued.
At the very least it means we're always a frame behind the fastest possible output.
In edge cases it's also bug-prone - for example if we only have 1 frame, the downstream caps negotiation
will never happen.
This commit adds a separate task running on the source pad, which only iterates over the output queue
and pushes frames out as soon as they're put there. The queue length is limited to ensure we don't encode
too far ahead compared to what downstream can consume. Any failures that occur when pushing data downstream
will be signalled in self->downstream_ret so that other parts of code can act accordingly.

These checks were introduced to prevent exposing ARGB64/RGBA64 in the caps
when running on M1 Pro/Max with macOS <13 because of a bug in VideoToolbox.
Unfortunately, the initial buffer size of 15 is too short when running
in a VM - the CPU brand string there looks like "Apple M1 Pro (Virtual)",
which due to its length causes sysctlbyname to return -1, resulting in
broken formats still showing up in the caps.

Fixes#1358.
Passing ARGB64/RGBA64 to vtenc caused the encoding to fail
when running on M1 Pro/Max variants with macOS 12.x, so let's
remove these formats from caps when such scenario is detected.
This issue appears to have been fixed OS-side in macOS 13.0.

Due to a bug in the VT API, attempting to encode interlaced content
with ProRes results in an error, halting the pipeline instead of
gracefully falling back to software encoding.
Should be removed in the future if Apple ever fixes this issue.

The kCVPixelFormatType_64RGBALE enum is only available on macOS Big
Sur (11.3) and newer. We also cannot use that while configuring the
encoder or decoder on older macOS.
Define the symbol unconditionally, but only use it when we're running
on Big Sur with __builtin_available().

When the image is opaque but the output ProRes format has an alpha
component (4 component, 32 bits per pixel), Apple requires that we
signal that it should be ignored by setting the depth to 24 bits per
pixel. Not doing so causes the encoded files to fail validation.
So we set that in the caps and qtmux sets the depth value in the
container, which will be read by demuxers so that decoders can skip
those bytes entirely. qtdemux does this, but vtdec does not use this
information at present.
The sister change was made in qtmux and qtdemux in:

Standard interlace handling:
* If we have interlace-mode=interleaved and the field order, we just
set it when creating the session
* If we have interlace-mode=(interleaved|mixed) and no field order, we
set the field order on the first buffer
The encoder session does not support changing the FieldDetail after it
has started encoding frames, so we cannot support mixed streams
correctly.
