This patch adds general mechanism for handling specific hacks. In this
case for jpeg decoder in i965 driver, which cannot create surfaces
with fourcc specified.
From jpeg decoder to the allocator, which creates the surfaces,
there's a non-simple path: basedec pseudo-class adds a hacks guint32
which will be set by actual elements (vajpegdec, in this case) and
basedec will always set the hack to the allocator when the allocator
is instantiated.

Given the supported rt formats in a profile/entrypoint config it's
possible to know the supported JPEG colorspace and subsampling. This
patch adds this information in coded caps to a safer autoplugging
after jpegparser.

This base class is intented for hardware accelerated decoders, but since
only VA uses it, it will be kept internally in va plugin.
It follows the same logic as the others video decoders in the library but.
as JPEG are independet images, there's no need to handle a DBP so no need
of a picture object. Instead a scan object is added with all the structures
required to decode the image (huffman and quant tables, mcus, etc.).

Currently, video format is decided with downstream caps intersection,
but that's not correct since chroma is not considered. The video
decoders have to decide the output format given the used chroma, not
by the downstream caps negotiation.
This patch changes that. Still, caps feature is selected by caps
negotiation, then, with the preferred caps feature, the output format
is search within that caps feature.

We should not reset the input/output_frame_count when some configure
changes. For example, the if resolution changes, the current way just
resets the frame count and make the PTS of the output buffer restart
from the original PTS of the first frame. That causes a lot of QOS
event and drop all the new frames.
We should only reset them when encoder start().

If the stream chroma doesn't match with any video format in the source
caps template (generated from va config surface formats) instead of
return unknown, return the first available format in the template,
assuming that the driver would be capable to do color conversions.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2404>
Instead of using a hard-coded list of preferred formats according the
chroma type, now if now caps are pre-negotiated, from template caps
will choose the first format with the same chroma type. If
pre-negotiated, then it will choose the first format, with same chroma
type, from the first caps structure.
Also all the decoders will check if GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN is
returned, failing the negotiation.

Make all codecs consistent so that subclass can know additional DPB
size requirement depending on render-delay configuration regardless
of codec. Note that render-delay feature is not implemented for AV1
yet but it's planned.
Also, consider new_sequence() is mandatory requirement, not optional

When we fixup src caps, the current way of handling the HDR fields is not
correct.
1. We trim the HDR fields only when the input caps is not a subset of the
fixup src caps. But in fact, the input caps with HDR fields such as the
"mastering-display-info" can possibly be the subset of the fixup src caps,
if they have all same other fields.
2. We always copy the colorimetry from input caps to src caps if it is
absent. But when hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, the HDR->SDR conversion makes
the colorimetry change. We should use downstream's setting, or just use the
default colorimetry of SDR.
We changes to:
1. If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, we trim all HDR fields and add a correct
colorimetry.
2. Copy colorimetry from input if it is still absent.
3. Consider the subset replacement.

The current way names the level by the number of B frames it contains, the
less it contains, the higher level it is. So the non ref B frames are in the
lowest layer and the B frames in the highest level refer to I/P frames.
But the widely used way is just the opposite, the ref B frames are in the
lower level and non ref B frames are at the highest level.
The is just a terminology change, and does not have any effect for compression
result and quality.

Added GstVaFeature enum type, and new parameter for VA allocator's
set_format() and get_format(). Also added a new parameter in VA pool
gst_va_pool_new_with_config() and
gst_buffer_pool_config_set_va_allocation_params().
This new parameter will define if derived images will by used for
buffer mapping.

By default, the classification is
"Converter/Filter/Colorspace/Scaler/Video/Hardware", but if VA
post-processor driver supports either color balance, skin tone
enhancement, sharpening or noise reduction, "Effect" is added.
Thus, if vapostproc ranking is raised, it can be chosen by
autovideosink.

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

Untabifying header file.
The logging category was moved from the plugin generic category to
the display category. It can argue that video formats hacks are
display dependant.
Added validations for input parameters.

Some problematic H265 stream may miss the reference frame in the DPB,
and get some message like: "No short term reference picture for xxx".
So there may be empty entries in ref_pic_list0/1 when passing to
decode_slice() function of sub class. We need to check the NULL pointer.

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the
picture will populate the DPB if it is a key-frame. To ensure this, remove the
default implementation.

1. Always set the according GstVaH264EncFrame pointer when GstVideoCodecFrame
pointer is assigned, which can make the logic safe.
2. Fix the forgotten change in _sort_by_frame_num. Its input pointer now is
GstVideoCodecFrame type.

Instead of using GstMiniObject to hold H264 frame, now it uses a plain
structure. Besides, instead of holding a reference to
GstVideoCodecFrame, the H264 frame structure is set as a
GstVideoCodecFrame user data.

Currently for copying the coded buffer onto a GStreamer buffer, the
coded buffer is mapped two times: one for getting the size, and later
for do the actual copy. We can avoid this by doing directly in the
element rather than in the general encoder object.

This a new VA-API implementation of a H264 encoder.
It can control the GOP and parameter settings, while the MV searching,
VCL and the rate control algorithm are implemented by VA drivers and HW.
It supports most of the common usage options in H264, but still lacks
of look ahead, field, B frame weighted prediction, etc.

The g_queue_clear_full() and g_array_copy() functions in the glib
may not be available for the current glib version check, so we add
helper functions to wrap it.
This should be deleted after the glib version bumps.

This patch adds a new parameter: hdr-tone-mapping (same as
vaapipostproc), if the HDR capabilites are availabe in driver, and
it's disabled by default.
If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled then HDR fields in sink caps are
processed in frames from HDR to SDR, removing those hdr fields in
source pad caps too.
hdr-tone-mapping is not enabled if a color conversion is also
requested, since it fails to process in the iHD driver, so far.

In commit e699aaeb we moved linking of libgudev to the plugin rather
the library, because it's only used in the plugin. But the dependency
check is still done in library.
This patch removes the dependency check in library, and updates the
dependency check in plugin.

It's almost pointless and makes little sense as subclass might
want to modify refcount of the object or so. And all subclasses
are already casting them to non-const version as well.
In a general sense, we need to avoid passing refcounted object
with const qualifier.

Intel drivers expose some colorbalance's maximum values much more
bigger than their minimum values, given their middle values (default
value). This means, in practice, that the real middle point between
the maximum and minimum values implies a major change in the color
balance, which is not expected by the GStreamer color balance logic.
This patch makes the given maximum value symmetrical to the minimum
value, given the middle one (default value).

When fixating color, there might be "other caps" with color spaces not
supported by the caps features exposed in the vapostproc's source pad
caps template (perhaps it's a bug somewhere else in GStreamer).
This solution checks if the proposed format exists in the filter
within the caps feature associated with the proposed format.
The check is done with the new filter's function
gst_va_filter_has_video_format().

The current code does not set the copied memory correctly when it is popped
from the surface cache pool.
1. We forget to ref the allocator, which causes the allocator to be freed
unexpected, and we get a crash later because of the memory violation.
2. We forget to add ref_mems_count, which causes the surface leak because
the surface can not be pushed back to the cache pool again.
