The AV1 codec needs to support the film grain feature. When the film
grain feature is enabled, we need two surfaces as the output of the
decoded picture, one without film grain effect and the other one with
it. The first one acts as the reference and is needed for later pictures'
reconstruction, and the second one is the real display output.
So we need to attach another aux surface to the gst buffer/mem and make
that aux surface as the target of vaBeginPicture.

In 6ae24948 the pipeline buffer destroy were removing assuming it
wasn't required. Nonetheless, debugging the code it looks like a
buffer leak in iHD driver since the ID of the buffer kept increasing.
The difference now is that first the filter buffers are destroy first
and later the pipeline buffer.

Just like the decoder, the vapostproc also needs to copy the output
buffer to raw buffer if downstream elements only supports raw caps
and does not support the video meta.
The pipeline like:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=xxxx ! h264parse ! vah264dec ! \
vapostproc ! capsfilter caps=video/x-raw,width=55,height=128 ! \
filesink location=xxx
needs this logic to dump the data correctly.

One problem that va dmabuf allocator had is when preparing a buffer from
dmabuf memories in the allocator pool, specially when a buffer is composed by
several memories. This memories have to be by certain number and in certain
order.
This patch stores the number of memories and their address in order when a
dmabuf-based buffer is created and when preparing a buffer, it is reconstructed
with this info.
Finally, instead of pushing the memories as soon as they are unrefed, they are
hold until GstVaBufferSurface's ref_mems_count reaches zero (all the memories
related with that buffer/surface are unrefed). Until that happen, all the
memories are pushed back into the queue, locked, assuring that all the memories
related with a single buffer (with the same surface) remain contiguous, so the
buffer reconstruction is assured.

Instead of removing memories from buffers at reset_buffer()/release_buffer() the
bufferpool operation is kept as originally designed, still the allocator pool is
used too. Thus, this patch restores the buffer size configuration while removing
release_buffer(), reset_buffer() and acquire_buffer() vmethods overloads.
Then, when the bufferpool base class decides to discard a buffer, the VA
surface-based memory is returned to the allocator pool when its last reference
is freed, and later reused if a new buffer is allocated again.

There were two problems with frame copy:
1. The input video info are from the format color, not form the allocated VA
surface, it's needed to update the sink video info according with the
allocator's data.
2. The parameters of `gst_video_frame_copy()` were backwards.

transform_size() basetransform vmethod is used when there's no output buffer
pool and allocates a system memory buffer. With VA this cannot be allowed, since
it needs VASurfaces to process.
Thus transform_size() is not required, but to play safe let's return FALSE.

The vabasedec's display and decoder are created/destroyed between
the gst_va_base_dec_open/close pair. All the data and event handling
functions are between this pair and so the accessing to these pointers
are safe. But the query function can be called anytime. So we need to:
1. Make these pointers operation in open/close and query atomic.
2. Hold an extra ref during query function to avoid it destroyed.

Add the helper function _get_surface_id() which extracts the
VASurfaceID from the passed picture. This function gets the surface of
the next and previous reference picture.
Instead of if-statements, this refactor uses a switch-statement with a
fall-through, for P-type pictures, making the code a bit more readable.
Also it adds quirks for gallium driver, which cannot handle invalid
surfaces as forwarding nor backwarding references, so the function fails.
Also iHD cannot handle them, but to avoid failing, the current picture
is used as self-reference.

When missing the reference frames, we should not just discard the current
frame. Some streams have group of picture header. It is an optional header
that can be used immediately before a coded I-frame to indicate to the decoder
if the first consecutive B-pictures immediately following the coded I-frame can
be reconstructed properly in the case of a random access.
In that case, the B frames may miss the previous reference and can still be
correctly decoded. We also notice that the second field of the I frame may
be set to P type, and it only ref its first field.
We should not skip all those frames, and even the frame really misses the
reference frame, some manner such as inserting grey picture should be used
to handle these cases.
The driver crashes when it needs to access the reference picture while we set
forward_reference_picture or backward_reference_picture to VA_INVALID_ID. We
now set it to current picture to avoid this. This is just a temp manner.

Since GstVaDecodePicture is destroyed completely with its free() function and
it's used as destroy notify by codecs picture, there's no need to call
gst_va_decoder_destroy_buffers() externally, since the codecs base classes
destroy the codec picture when it's required.

The current way of GstVaDecodePicture's finalize will leak some
resource such as parameter buffers and slice data.
The current way deliberately leaves these resource releasing logic
to va decoder related function and trigger a warning if we free the
GstVaDecodePicture without releasing these resources.
But in practice, sometimes, you do not have the chance to release
these resource before picture is freed. For example, H264/Mpeg2
support multi slice NALs/Packets for one frame. It is possible that
we already succeed to parse and generate the first several slices
data by _decode_slice(), but then we get a wrong slice NAL/packet
and fail to parse it. We decide to discard the whole frame in the
decoder's base class, it just free the current picture and does not
trigger sub class's function again. In this kind of cases, we do
not have the chance to cleanup the resource, and the resource will
be leaked.

In order to honor GST_BUFFER_POOL_ACQUIRE_FLAG_DONTWAIT in VA pool, allocators'
wait_for_memory() has to be decoupled from their prepare_buffer() so it could be
called in pools' acquire_buffer() if the flag is not set.
wait_for_memory() functions are blocking so the received memories are assigned
to the fist requested buffer, if multithreaded calls. For this a new mutex were
added.

An application, using for example appsink, can hold buffers from any
va allocator after setting the pipeline to NULL. We need to destroy
the allocator when that memory is unrefed.
This patch juggles a bit with the allocator reference count in
memories in order to achieve this:
1. When memory is created no alloc ref is modified
2. When memory is released, alloc ref is decreased
3. When memory is reassiged to a buffer, alloc ref is increased
4. When memory is flushed, alloc ref is increased becase it is going
to be decreased in gst_memory_unref()
Also this patch moves the deallocation of member variables to
finalize() rather than dispose()

In case that "pic_order_cnt_type" is equal to zero, ref picture
list for B slice should not include non-existing picture
as per spec 8.2.4.2.3. And, the second field is not needed
for the process of frame picture reference list construction
since it needs to be frame unit, not field picture in that case.

force_videometa should mean that the buffer must use video meta to
map correctly. When the stride or the offset of the alloc_info is
different from the src caps, the downstream must use video meta.
So this flag should not link with the RAW caps only. All kinds of
caps(memory:VAMemory, memory:DMABuf) should have this flag.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1711>
When the downstream element reports an ANY caps, and it also fails to
support VideoMeta, we should fallback to the system memory.
Note: the basetransform kind elements never return valid allocation
query before set_caps(). So, if a basetransform return an ANY sink
caps, we always fallback to system memory for it.

When gst_va_dmabuf_allocator_setup_buffer_full() receives info (not NULL) it is
supposed that this buffer is not part of the allocator pool, so it has to be
de-allocated as soon it is freed.

not NULL.

Managing reference picture type by using two variables
(ref and long_term) seems to be redundant and that can be
represented by using a single enum value.
This is to sync this implementation with gstreamer-vaapi so that
make comparison between this and gstreamer-vaapi easier and also
in order to minimize the change required for subclass to be able
to support interlaced.

This add HEVC decoding support into the new VA plugin. This implementation has
been tested using the ITU comformance test (through fluster). It fails all
MAIN10 tests, as this is not implemented yet along with the following:
CONFWIN_A_Sony_1 (looks fine, but md5sum is incorrect)
PICSIZE_A_Bossen_1 (height too high)
PICSIZE_B_Bossen_1 (same)
VPSSPSPPS_A_MainConcept_1 (parser issue)

In our va implemenation, we just use image's info to map the buffer.
The padding info just plays a role as a place holder to expand the
allocation size in caps when decoding size is bigger than display
size. So the padding_right or padding_left does not change the result.
But we find if using padding_left, it is hard to meet the requirement
of gst_video_meta_validate_alignment(), when the video meta's stride
is different from the allocation width.

We have already done the jobs in gst_va_base_dec_decide_allocation()
and no need to call base class' decide_allocation() again. The base
class' decide_allocation() will set_format() again and let use do the

Use this standalone function to update the allocator info and make
all ensure_image() and mem_alloc() API clean.
We also change the default way of using image. We now set the non
derive manner as the default manner, and if it fails, then fallback
to the derived image manner.
On a lot of platforms, the derived image does not have caches, so the
read and write operations have very low performance.

Moving the parameters testing and setting from the allocator_alloc_full()
to the allocator_try(). The allocator_alloc_full() will be called every
time when we need to allocate a new memory. But all these parameters such
as the surface and the image format, rt_format, etc, are unchanged during
the whole allocator lifetime. Just setting them in set_format() is enough.

Fix a bug in _create_other_pool(). The old way of checking the
base->other_pool make that other_pool never be changed until the
gst_va_base_dec_stop() to stop the current decoding context.
But in some stream, the resolution may change during the decoding
process, and we need to re-negotiate the buffer pool. Then, the
old other_pool can not be clean correctly and the new correct one
can not be created.

The current bufferpool wastes all pre-allocate buffers when the
buffer pool is actived.
The pool->priv->size is 0 for va buffer pool. And every time, the
reset_buffer() will clean all mem and make the buffer size 0, that
can cache the gst_buffer in the buffer pool.
But when the buffer pool is activing, the default_start() just
allocate the buffer and release_buffer() immediately, all the pre
allocated buffers and surfaces are destroyed because of
gst_buffer_get_size (buffer) != pool->priv->size.
We need to use release_buffer() to do the clean job at the pool
start time.

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

Without preallocating buffers and memories a deadlock in pool allocator is
highly probably since it might hit the case were buffer is returned to the pool
but their memories are still hold by a copy downstream, without other
preallocated buffers available.
This kind of a hack, where buffer_reset() follow the normal path if it's called
from start().
