Since DXVA does not support some profiles such as HEVC RExt,
vendor specific decoding API is still required.
When decoder is negotiated with d3d11 caps, decoder will convert
semi-planar frame to planar since semi-planar format (e.g.,
DXGI_FORMAT_NV12) is not supported by CUDA/D3D11 interop.

Adding cudaipc{src,sink} element for CUDA IPC support.
Implementation note:
* For the communication between end points, Win32 named-pipe
and unix domain socket will be used on Windows and Linux respectively.
* cudaipcsink behaves as a server, and all GPU resources will be owned by
the server process and exported for other processes, then cudaipcsrc
(client) will import each exported handle.
* User can select IPC mode via "ipc-mode" property of cudaipcsink.
There are two IPC mode, one is "legacy" which uses legacy CUDA IPC
method and the other is "mmap" which uses CUDA virtual memory API
with OS's resource handle sharing method such as DuplicateHandle()
on Windows. The "mmap" mode might be better than "legacy" in terms
of stability since it relies on OS's resource management but
it would consume more GPU memory than "legacy" mode.

It is really difficult for people to figure out why nvcodec has
0 features. Even the debug log is cryptic. Also make sure the errors
go to the ERROR log level, which is more likely to be enabled by
default.

Adding nvautogpu{h264,h265}enc class which will accept upstream logical
GPU device object (GstCudaContext or GstD3D11Device) instead of
using pre-assigned GPU instance.
If upstream logical GPU device object is not NVENC compatible
(e.g., D3D11 device of non-NVIDIA GPU) or it's system memory,
then user specified "cuda-device-id" or "adapter-luid" property
will be used for GPU device selection.

Adding new encoder elements nvd3d11{h264,h265}enc for Direct3D11
input support and re-written nvcuda{h264,h265}enc elements.
Newly writeen elements have some differences compared with old
nv{h264,h265}enc including non-backward compatible changes.
* RGBA is not a supported input format any more:
New elements will support only YUV formats to avoid implicit conversion
done by hardware. Ideally it should be done by upstream element
in order to have more control on it. Moreover, RGBA support can cause
redundant RGBA -> YUV conversion if multiple encoders are
used for the same RGBA input
* Subsampled planar format support is dropped:
I420 and YV12 format are not supported formats for Direct3D11.
Although it's supported in CUDA mode, it's not a hardware friendly
memory layout and it will waste GPU memory since UV planes
will have large padding due to the memory layout requirement of NVENC.
* GL support is dropped: Similar to the RGBA case,
GL support in encoder would be suboptimal if GL input is
used by multiple encoders, because each encoder will copy GL memory
into CUDA memory.
Upstream cudaupload element can be used for GL <-> CUDA
interop instead.
* No more pre-allocation of encoder input surfaces. New implementation
will use input CUDA memory without copy (zero-copy) or
will copy into a NVENC's input buffer struct in case of
system memory input.

* Hide GstCudaMemory member variables
* Make GstCudaAllocator object GstCudaContext independent
* Set offset/stride of memory correctly via video meta
* Drop GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_VIDEO_ALIGNMENT support.
This implementation actually does not support custom alignment
because we allocate device memory via cuMemAllocPitch
of which alignment is almost uncontrollable
