Always use a GstAdapter when collecting access units (alignment="au")
in either byte-stream or avcC format. This is required to properly
preserve config headers like SPS and PPS when invalid or broken NAL
units are subsequently parsed.
More precisely, this fixes scenario like:
<SPS> <PPS> <invalid-NAL> <slice>
where we used to reset the output frame buffer when an invalid or
broken NAL is parsed, i.e. SPS and PPS NAL units were lost, thus
preventing the next slice unit to be decoded, should this also
represent any valid data.

Carefully track cases when skipping broken or invalid NAL units is
necessary. In particular, always allow NAL units to be processed
and let that gst_h264_parse_process_nal() function decide on whether
the current NAL needs to be dropped or not.
This fixes parsing of streams with SEI NAL buffering_period() message
inserted between SPS and PPS, or SPS-Ext NAL following a traditional
SPS NAL unit, among other cases too.
Practical examples from the H.264 AVC conformance suite include
alphaconformanceG, CVSE2_Sony_B, CVSE3_Sony_H, CVSEFDFT3_Sony_E
when parsing in stream-format=byte-stream,alignment=au mode.

Improve parser state tracking by introducing new flags reflecting
it: "got-sps", "got-pps" and "got-slice". This is an addition for
robustness purposes.
Older have_sps and have_pps variables are kept because they have
a different meaning. i.e. they are used for deciding on when to
submit updated caps or not, and rather mean "have new SPS/PPS to
be submitted?"

Use gst_h264_parser_identify_nalu_unchecked() to identify the next
NAL unit. We don't want to parse the full NAL unit, but only the
header bytes and possibly the first RBSP byte for identifying the
first_mb_in_slice syntax element.
Also fix check for failure when returning from that function. The
only success condition for that is GST_H264_PARSER_OK, so use it.

The gst_h264_parse_pps() function dynamically allocates the slice
group ids map array, so that needs to be cleared before parsing a
new PPS NAL unit again, or when it is no longer needed.
Likewise, a clean copy to the internal NAL parser state needs to be
performed so that to avoid a double-free corruption.

The recovery point SEI message helps a decoder in determining if the
decoding process would produce acceptable pictures for display after
the decoder initiates random access or after the encoder indicates
a broken link in the coded video sequence.
This is not used in the h264parse element, but it could help debugging.

It is not perfect but it allows us to be sure that the mandatory 'framerate'
field is present in the caps.
As soon as some information is found in the stream, that will be
updated.

An SEI RBSP could contains more than one SEI message as specified in
7.4.2.3.1.
This commit change the parser API: the gst_h264_parser_parse_sei()
function now create and fill a GArray containing GstH264SEIMessage.

Conversion to byte-stream/nal crashes without that because the
baseparse frame of all NALUs is finished for the first NALU, then
used again for parsing the second NALU. Just that now the buffer
of the frame is already gone. Instead we create temporary frames
for every NALU.
the initial par_n = par_d = 0; was always overwritten since the switch/case
handles all values
And remove the 0 case (it's the same handling as default)
When outputting in AVC3 stream format, the codec_data should not
contain any SPS or PPS, because they are embedded inside the stream.
In case of avc->bytestream h264parse will push the SPS and PPS from
codec_data downstream at the start of the stream, at intervals
controlled by "config-interval" and when there is a codec_data change.
In the case of avc3->bytstream h264parse detects that there is
already SPS/PPS in the stream and sets h264parse->push_codec to FALSE.
Therefore avc3->bytstream was already supported, except for the stream
type.
In the case of bystream->avc h264parse will generate codec_data caps
from the parsed SPS/PPS in the stream. However it does not remove these
SPS/PPS from the stream. bytestream->avc3 is the same as bytestream->avc
except that the codec_data must not have any SPS/PPS in it.

Amendment 2 of ISO/IEC 14496-15 (AVC file format) is defining a new
structure for fragmented MP4 called "avc3". The principal difference
between AVC1 and AVC3 is the location of the codec initialisation
data (e.g. SPS, PPS). In AVC1 this data is placed in the initial MOOV box
(moov.trak.mdia.minf.stbl.stsd.avc1) but in AVC3 this data goes in the
first sample of every fragment.

Updating caps results in downstream elements potentially reconfiguring themselves
(such as decoders). If we do this in the middle of keyframes, we would result
in those elements being reconfigured and handling garbage until the next keyframe.
Instead of this only send (potentially) new codec_data when we have *both* SPS and
PPS.

Otherwise we will intersect with the srcpad template caps and add all the caps fields
that the parser will ever set, no matter if downstream restricts this field or not.
This requires upstream to set this field on the caps to successfully negotiate.

All these formats have re-ordered PTS which the base class gets
wrong. It's better to leave them blank and let the decoder sort it
out. Better yet would be to track and interpolate the timestamps
in the subclasses (FIXME)
Anonymous union is an ISO C (2011) feature that is not exposed in
compilers strictly conforming to the previous standard.

They should take the filter caps into account and always return
the template caps appended to the actual caps. Otherwise the
parsers stop to accept unparsed streams where upstream does not
know about width, height, etc.
Fixes bug #677401.
.. since the bytewriter is explicitly created with non-fixed size to
allow (very much so expected) growth.
Partially reverts commit 20669d461a while
trying to keep (some?) compilers happy.
IIRC, the purpose of GstByteWriter in the first place was (at least)
being able to dump data without having to fuss with memory expansion
and size issues ...
Fixes#673485.
This always happens with GstByteReader/Writer and friends when
not taking into account returned boolean of the _read/_write functions
(which is actually wrong).
Make use of the *_unchecked variant as much as possible, or take the
returned value into account.
As we can now rely upon being passed upstream delineated data in
::handle_frame(), the latter can also parse avc formatted data
without having to intercept baseparse's chain function.
While this evidently requires 2 separate parsing paths, each can
be streamlined accordingly.
... as baseparse then provides whole chunks of data (as it should) at once
to be parsed, and so the assumptions used to optimize are no longer valid.
Fixes#667560.
Although some decoders can start decoding with just PPS and SPS and waiting for
a keyframe is bad when the keyframe interval is large, gst-ffmpeg does need a
keyframe to start decoding.
