In commit 6d11a00 were introduced a regression when gstreamer-vaapi is
compiled with out EGL/GLX support: it shall not support
GST_VAAPI_MAKE_GLTEXUPLOAD_CAPS.
This patch guards the inclusion of GST_VAAPI_MAKE_GLTEXUPLOAD_CAPS in the
allowed src caps for vaapedecode if EGL/GLX.
Just as vaapipostproc, VA decoder's context can be queried to get the possible
raw formats, so, the src caps can negotiate the exact caps that the context
supports.
In the spirit of the codec split, this patch removes the documentation of
vaapidecode and adds a page per each possible decoder.
Nonetheless, only those available in the compilation system are going to be
instrospected, because the rest are not registered.
vaapidecode has a member named allowed_caps, but this name is not enough
explicit. This patch renames allowed_caps to allowed_sinkpad_caps.
No functional changes were included.

set_format() is called by upstream when the stream capabilites has changed.
Before, if the new stream is compatible with the old one the VA decoder was
not destroyed. Nonetheless, with this behavoir, the VA decoder ignores
when the upstreamer parsers gets more details of the stream, such as the
framerate. Hence, when the src caps are negotiates, the further sink caps
updates are ignored.
This patch forces the VA decoder destroying and recreation when set_format()
is called.

In order to register only the available decoders, this patch queries the
created test VA display, which uses the currently used back-end (X11, Wayland,
DRM, …) on the used display device.

Split the vaapidecode to all the supported codecs with the format
vaapi{codec}dec.
vaapidecode is stil registered as a GObject type, but not as a
GStreamer feature, so it can be used internally by vaapidecodebin without
changing its code too much.

Delay the GstVaapiDisplay instantiating until when changing the state from
READY to PAUSE. In this way the element has more chances to find an already
created GstVaapiDisplay, or a GL context, in the pipeline.

Since the driver checkup is done at registering, there is no need to do it
when changing the element state from NULL to READY. This patch remove this
vmethod from vaapidecode.
To avoid surface-exhausted situation during reverse playback,
drop frames except for key frame.
Also, to avoid the corruption of the parser state, flush() vmethod
doesn't destroy the VA decoder when playing in reverse.

The queue in GstVaapiDecode adds an extra reference to the frames. This patch
unref that extra reference earlier making the code simpler to follow.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768652
Calling drain() vmethod means "decode any data it can at this point, but that
more data may arrive after". Hence, vaapidecode should check if there is data
in the output adapter and process them, without destroying the decoded picture
buffer (dpb).
Since this operation is done by gst_vaapidecode_internal_flush(), the operation
was refactored into a new function gst_vaapidecode_flush_output_adapter().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768652
Calling flush() vmethod means "to flush all remaining data from the decoder
without pushing it downstream".
Nonetheless flush() is calling gst_vaapidecode_internal_flush(), which calls
gst_video_decoder_have_frame() if there is still something in the input
adapter, which may push buffers to downstream by calling handle_frame().
This patch changes this behavior by calling gst_vaapidecode_purge() rather
than gst_vaapidecode_internal_flush(), which does what we want: flushes the VA
decoder and releases all the rest of decoded frames.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768652
If the backend driver vendor string is not in a white-list, and the
environment variable GST_VAAPI_ALL_DRIVERS is not set either, the decoder will
change it state from NULL to READY, hence the auto-plug mechanism will look
for another decoder.
This patch assumes the GstContext has already being shared along the pipeline
and the element has a valid GstVaapiDisplay instance.

In bug 757598 was added the set_context() vmethod chain up in
GstVaapiPluginBase. But it is buggy, since the parent_class address is
assigned to the last element which called gst_vaapi_plugin_base_class_init().
No error has shown up since none of the element's base classes redefined
set_context() vmethod from GstElement, so always the correct function was
called. Still this code is wrong and this patch make it right.
Since set_context() is the same code, a macro is used to implement that code
in all the gst-vaapi elements.

Instead of using the srcpad template caps for filtering the peer caps, the
function gst_vaapi_find_preferred_caps_feature(), now receives a new parameter
for the element's allowed caps.
With this modification, the vaapipostproc element simplifies a bit its code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765223
The native format parameter in gst_vaapi_find_preferred_caps_feature() can be
saved if the out format is used for both: in and out. Thus the code is more
readable.

If the downstream feature is system memory, the surface has to be mapped,
hence a warning message is logged saying that the driver has to do color
conversions. This might be troublesome because not all the color conversion
combinations are supported by the VA-API drivers, and there is not a reliable
way to know them before hand.

As decoded_info is assured to be valid when gst_vaapidecode_update_src_caps()
is called, then we don't need to verify or replace it with the sinkpad info
(reference state).

active, do_pool_renego and do_outstate_renego class variables were used to
indicate when negotiate downstream once, but now that each time a new surface
resolution is pop out a renegotation verified, these variable are not required
anymore.

When resolving bug 753914, a custom allocation query was added, overlapping
the responsibilities of GstVideoDecoder.
But with the merge of the patches from bug 764421 this overlapping was not
required anymore. This patch restores this situation setting the
allocation_caps in the GstVideoCodecState when needed.

The plugins should not expose the feature meta:GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta in
their caps templates if they were not compiled either with GLX or EGL support.
The P010 video format is the native format used by the vaapi intel driver
for HEVCMain10 decode . Add support for planes and images of this video format.

After the decoding of first frame, try to extract the exact
decoded surface format using vaDeriveImage and keep this
as the format in decoded_info.

-- Maintaing decoded surface resoluton and actual display resoultion separately
-- Before pushing every frames downstream, check for the requirement of pool negoation and
output_state negotiation: This is needed to avoid multiple issuses with cropping,
multi-resoluton video handling, more complex multi resolution decode scenarios for vp9decode,
possible wrong behaviour from upstream element to report uncropped values etc. Due to these reasons,
We can't just reliably use the resolution change notification from libgstvaapi for pool renegotiation too.
This is slight overhead, but safe enough. Optimization could be possible though.
