Some decoder drivers need to wait enough capture buffers before
starting to decode. But the dequeued buffer flag LAST but empty
has no chance to queue back to driver, which makes decode hang
after seek. So need to queue back such kind of buffer to driver.

Output buffers don't have to be writable. Accepting read-only buffers
from the V4L2 buffer pool allows upstream elements to write directly
into the V4L2 buffers without triggering a CPU copy into a new buffer
from the same V4L2 buffer pool every time.
Tested with the vivid output device:
GST_DEBUG=GST_PERFORMANCE:7 gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video5
With this change, gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf() must be allowed to not
resize read-only memories of output buffers.

Some drivers will push an buffer flagged LAST but empty. In decoder
case, this results in an "producing too many buffer" warning, even
though the result is entirely correct. Detect this case in order to
signal EOS earlier and avoid this warning.

Now that we can split GStreamer buffers over multiple v4l2 buffer, we may
endup waiting for these buffers to be processed. Avoid waiting for any of
the parts being processed. As a side effect, the pool will now try to
grow if the number of buffers is not sufficient, and will fail
otherwise.
This fixes a hang if the very first frame did not fit. In this case, the
driver will retrain that buffer until the capture is setup, but
GStreamer won't setup the capture until process() function have
returned.

When we fill a bitstream buffer the buffer might be too small to hold
the entire frame. Only resize to the filled size, preventing the
following assertion to happen.
gst_buffer_resize_range: assertion 'bufmax >= bufoffs + offset + size' failed

In the current implementation, we support for most pixel format left
and top padding by changing the offset in the video meta. Though, to
align driver bytesused to the offset, we recalculate the offset, which
removed the modification we did before.
Instead, save the plane size, and truncate the driver reported bytesused
to the expected size, which ensures that the offsets still match. This
should also fix issues were the buffer size ended up bigger then the
pool size due to driver introduced padding.

Drivers may signal end of sequence using an empty buffer and LAST buffer
set, or just an empty buffer on certain legacy implementation. When this
occured, we'd send GST_V4L2_FLOW_LAST_BUFFER were the code expected
GST_FLOW_EOS. Stop abusing GST_FLOW_EOS and port all the code to the new
GST_V4L2_FLOW_LAST_BUFFER.

Unfortunately streamoff does not flush the events, and this can cause all
sort of issues. Flush events on capture queue. We also return
GST_V4L2_FLOW_RESOLUTION_CHANGE in case a resolution change was seen.
This allow skipping streamon(capture) on flush, which could lead to a
configuration miss-match, or failure if the buffers aren't of the right
size.

When seek flush, gst v4l2 buffer pool flush is not atomic which will
lead double enqueue buffer (qbuf) issue, and v4l2 buffer pool qbuf is
also not atomic which will lead no free buffer found in the pool.
1. add lock for calculate enqueue number in streamon function
2. add lock for v4l2 capture end streamoff in pool flush function
3. lock the whole funciton of v4l2 buffer pool qbuf, then the buffer
pool index and qbuf operation are atomic

As we don't have anything smart in the fixation process, we may endup with
a format that has a lower bitdepth, even if downstream can handle higher
depth. it is notably the case when negotiating with deinterlace, which places
is non-passthrough caps before its passthrough one. This makes the generic
fixation prefer the formats natively supported by deinterlace element over
the HW 10bit format. As some HW can downscale 10bit to 8bit, this can break
10bit decoding.

In current tile representation, only tiles with power of two
width and height in bytes are supported. This limitation
prevents adding more complex tiles formats.
In this patch, we deprecate tile_ws and tile_hs from GstVideoFormatInfo and
replace if with an array of GstVideoTileInfo. Each plane tiles are then
described with their pixels width/height, line stride and total size.
The helper gst_video_format_info_get_tile_sizes() that depends on the
deprecated API is also being removed. This can simply be removed as it wasn't
in any stable release yet.

In the trick mode, driver may queue a valid buffer follow by an
empty buffer which has no valid data to indicate EOS.For the empty
buffer whose memory is multi-plane, need to resize it before
unreference it.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as
last resort. There is no need to mock gettex API any more.
This fix static build on Windows because G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION must
be defined before including libintl.h, and glib does it for us as part
as including glib.h.

There is a chance that pool->buffers[index] sets BUFFER_STATE_QUEUED, but
it has not been queued yet which makes pool->buffers[index] still NULL.
At this time, if pool_streamff release all buffers with BUFFER_STATE_QUEUED
state regardless of whether the buffer is NULL or not, it will cause segfault.
To fix this, also check buffer when streamoff release buffer.

The `gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf` function contains this ominous comment:
/* get our GstBuffer with that index from the pool, if the buffer was
* outstanding we have a serious problem.
*/
outbuf = pool->buffers[group->buffer.index];
Unfortunately it is common for buffers in _output_ buffer pools to be
both queued and outstanding at the same time. This can happen if the
upstream element keeps a reference to the buffer, or in an encoder
element itself when it keeps a reference to the input buffer for each
frame.
Since the current code doesn't handle this case properly we can end up
with crashes in other elements such as:
(gst-launch-1.0:32559): CRITICAL **: 17:33:35.740: gst_video_frame_map_id: assertion 'GST_IS_BUFFER (buffer)' failed
and:
(gst-launch-1.0:231): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 00:16:20.882: write map requested on non-writable buffer
Both these crashes are caused by a race condition related to releasing
the same buffer twice from two different threads. If a buffer is queued
and outstanding this situation is possible:
**Thread 1**
- Calls `gst_buffer_unref` decrementing the reference count to zero.
- The core GstBufferPool object marks the buffer non-outstanding.
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- If the buffer is _not_ queued:
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
**Thread 2**
- Dequeues the queued output buffer.
- Marks the buffer as not queued.
- If the buffer is _not_ outstanding:
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
If both of these threads run at exactly the same time there is a small
window where the buffer is marked both not outstanding and not queued
but before it has been released. In this case the buffer will be freed
twice causing the above crashes.
Unfortunately the variable recording whether a buffer is outstanding is
part of the core `GstBuffer` object and is managed by `GstBufferPool` so
it's not as straightforward as adding a mutex. Instead we can fix this
by additionally recording the buffer state in `GstV4l2BufferPool`, and
handle "internal" and "external" buffer release separately so we can
detect when a buffer becomes not outstanding.
In the new solution:
- The "external" buffer pool release and the "dqbuf" functions
atomically update the buffer state and determine if a buffer is still
queued or outstanding.
- Subsequent code and a new
`gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_complete_release_buffer` function can proceed to
release (or not) a buffer knowing that it's not racing with another
thread.
