CMBlockBuffer offers a model similar to GstBuffer, as it can
consist of multiple non-consecutive memory blocks.
Prior to this change, what we were doing was:
1) Incorrect:
CMBlockBufferCreateWithMemoryBlock does not copy the data,
but we gst_buffer_unmap'd right away.
2) Inefficient:
If the GstBuffer consisted of non-contiguous memory blocks,
gst_buffer_map resulted in malloc / memcpy.
With this change, we construct a CMBlockBuffer out of individual mapped
GstMemory objects. CMBlockBuffer is made to retain the GstMemory
objects (through the use of CMBlockBufferCustomBlockSource), so the
original GstBuffer can be unref'd.

Copying arbitrary metas is going to cause problems and this should really be
handled by the base class. It overrides most other things already anyway,
including timestamp and duration. Those are just set here now so we can
insert the frame sorted into the queue.

This decoder does not work if width and height field are not set
in the sinkpad caps. Let's make this explicit by adding them to
the template caps.

while having the default vtdec at secondary rank. This allows decodebin/playbin
to prefer the hardware based decoders, and if that fails to initialize because
hardware resources are busy to fall back to e.g. the libav based h264 decoder
instead of the software based vtdec (which is slower), and only fall back to
the software based vtdec if there is no higher ranked decoder available.
Use YUV instead of RGB textures, then convert using the new apple specific
shader in GstGLColorConvert. Also use GLMemory directly instead of using the
GL upload meta, avoiding an extra texture copy we used to have before.
Set reorder_queue_frame_delay from the DPB size (in frames). Still not optimal,
as the DPB size is larger than the max bframe forward prediction length, but I
don't know how to compute the latter without parsing every group of pictures.
The decoder output frames in DTS order, even with the flag
kVTDecodeFrame_EnableTemporalProcessing. We store a internal
queue of the decoded frames and push them PTS order.
FigVideoFormatDescriptionCreateWithSampleDescriptionExtensionAtom
is an un-documented private function which might change its signature
as it already did in the past. Replace it with
CMVideoFormatDescriptionCreate and the also un-documented Extensions
dictionary.
Public frameworks don't need to build the API dynamically, we instead
use the framework directly.
The exception is for VideoToolbox which went public in the 10.8 SDK,
but it's still private in older version of the SDK and iOS. This allow
building the plugin against SDK's where it's not a public framework.
