This adds tests to validate whether the avtpcrfsync element applies the
adjustment correctly.
Also, the infrastructure to include additional source files while compiling
is added. This change is exactly the same as the one in gst-plugins-good.
This commit introduces the AVTP Clock Reference Format (CRF) Checker
element. This element re-uses the GstAvtpCrfBase class introduced along
with the CRF Synchronizer element.
This element will typically be used along with the avtpsrc element to
ensure that the AVTP timestamp (and H264 timestamp in case of CVF-H264
packets) is "aligned" with the incoming CRF stream. Here, "aligned" means
that the timestamp value should be within 25% of the period of the media
clock recovered from the CRF stream.
The user can also set an option (drop-invalid) in order to drop any packet
whose timestamp is not within the thresholds of the incoming CRF stream.
This commit introduces the AVTP Clock Reference Format (CRF) Synchronizer
element. This element implements the AVTP CRF Listener as described in IEEE
1722-2016 Section 10.
CRF is useful in synchronizing events within different systems by
distributing a common clock. This is useful in a scenario where there are
multiple talkers who are sending data to a single listener which is
processing that data. E.g. CCTV cameras on a network sending AVTP video
streams to a base station to display on the same screen.
It is assumed that all the systems are already time-synchronized with each
other. So, the AVTP Talker essentially adjusts the AVTP Presentation Time
so it's phase-locked with the reference clock provided by the CRF stream.
There are 2 different roles of systems which participate in CRF data
exchange. A system can either be a CRF Talker, which samples it's own
clock and generates a stream of timestamps to transmit over the network, or
a CRF Listener, the system which receives the generated timestamps and
recovers the media clock from the timestamps. It then adjusts it's own
clock to align with recovered media clock. The timestamps generated by the
talker may not be continuous and the listener might have to interpolate
some timestamps to recover the media clock. The number of timestamps to
interpolate is mentioned in the CRF stream AVTPDU (Refer IEEE 1722-2016
Section 10.4 for AVTPDU structure). Only CRF Listener has been implemented
in this commit.
The CRF Sync element will create a separate thread to listen for the CRF
stream. This thread will calculate and store the average period of the
recovered media clock. The pipeline thread will use this stored period
along with the first timestamp of the latest CRF AVTPDU received to
calculate adjustment for timestamps in the audio/video streams. In case of
CRF AVTPDUs with single timestamp, two consecutive CRF AVTPDUs will be used
to figure out the average period of the recovered media clock.
In case of H264 streams, both AVTP timestamp and H264 timestamp will be
adjusted.
In the future commits, another "CRF Checker" element will be introduced
which will validate the timestamps on the AVTP Listener side. Which is why
a lot of code has been implemented as part of the gstcrfbase class.
If we are in a state where we are answering, we would start gathering
when the offer is set which is incorrect for at least two reasons.
1. Sending ICE candidates before sending an answer is a hard error in
all of the major browsers and will fail the negotiation.
2. If libnice ever adds the username fragment to the candidate for
ice-restart hardening, the ice username and fragment would be
incorrect.
JSEP also hints that the right call flow is to only start gathering when
a local description is set in 4.1.9 setLocalDescription
"This API indirectly controls the candidate gathering process."
as well as hints throughout other sections.

D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG flag will be used while creating d3d11 device
to activate debug layer. However, if system doesn't support the
debug layer for some reason, we should try to create d3d11 device
without the flag. Debug layer should be optional for device creation.

The Microsoft Media Foundation (MF) is the successor of DirectShow.
This commit includes two kinds of video capture implementation,
one uses IMFSourceReader interface which is available since Windows Vista
and the other is based on IMFCaptureEngine interface which is available
since Windows 8.
Note that this new video source element cannot be used in UWP app
for now, since device activation using those APIs are not allowed by MS.

the old manner does not consider the profile idc. The profile idc should
play an more important role in recognizing the profile than the other
information. And there is no need to mix profiles of different extensions
together to find the closest profile when the bits stream is not standard,
different extensions support different features and should not be mixed.
The correct way should be recognize the extension category by profile idc
firstly, and then find the closest profile.

FormatRangeExtensionProfile declares the common bits used for not
only format range extensions profiles, but also for several different
h265 extension profiles, such as high throughput, screen content
coding extensions, etc. And So the old name is not proper.
We also rename the get_h265_extension_profile function.

We should use the traget ExtensionProfile's IDC to check the
profile_compatibility_flag, rather than the profile_idc in the
stream. The old profile_compatibility_flag check always return
true. This causes that profiles with same constraint flags but
different profile_idc can't be recognized correctly. For example,
the screen-extended-main-444 profile is always be recognized as
the high-throughput-444 profile.

In case of IDR, any previously decoded pictures must be drained
before the IDR and POC of IDR should be zero. So we can output
IDR immediately. Also, when POC of current picture is expected to be
the next output POC, decoder can output the picture as well
without waiting.
