Introduce GST_USE_NV_STATELESS_CODEC environment to allow user to select
primary nvidia decoder implementation. In case the environment
GST_USE_NV_STATELESS_CODEC=h264 was set, old nvidia h264 decoder element
will not be registered. Instead, both nvh264dec and nvh264sldec
factory name will create gstcodecs based new nvidia h264 decoder element.

Introduce GstH264Decoder based Nvidia H.264 decoder element.
Similar the element factory name of to v4l2 stateless codec,
this element can be configured with factory name "gstnvh264sldec".
Note that "sl" in the name stands for "stateless"
For now, existing nvh264dec covers more profile and formats
(e.g., interlaced stream) than this implementation.
However, this implementation allows us to control lower level
parameters such as decoded picture buffer management and therefore
we can get a chance to improve performance in terms of latency.

If we receive video buffers with non-perfect timestamps, the
caption buffers' timestamps might fall in the interval between
the end of one video buffer and the start of the next one.
Make our criteria for dropping that the caption buffer has
a timestamp older than the end of the previous video buffer,
not older than the start of the new one, unless of course
this is the first video buffer.

We can't be sure about the reference count if the muxer is currently
running, which can happen in the test_reappearing_pad test. An
additional reference might temporarily be owned by the srcpad task of
tsmux while iterating over the pads.
The render width/height and the vinfo was only saved upon renegotiation. This
fixes the problem by saving this metadata at the same time the buffer is
saved. The saved copy of this is needed for expose() and drain() virtual functions.
This fixes various assertion that happens on drain query.
Otherwise we may endup pushing incomplete caps, which cause a renegotiation.
Note that this has the effect that caps are no longer pushed twice in presence
of valid framerate in the headers.
Otherwise we may endup pushing incomplete caps. Note that this has the side
effect that caps are no longer pushed twice in presence of VUI with valid
framerate.
There is some code to fixup broken stream that uses the SEI location,
this code is meant to locate SUFFIX SEI only. This should prevent
unwanted side effect if SUFFIX SEI is used.
Waiting for the next NAL increases the latency. If alignment=nal/au
has been negotiated, assumes the the buffer contains a complete
NAL and don't expect a second start-code. This way, nal -> nal,
au -> au and au -> nal no longer introduce latency.
As a side effect, the collect_pad() function was not able to poke at the
following NAL. This call is now moved before processing the NAL, so
it's looking at the current NAL before it's ingested into the parser
state in order to dermin if the end of an AU has been reached. The AUD
injection state as been adapted to support this.
This change will break pipelines if alignment=nal is used without respecting the
alignment. Effectively, the parser will no longer fix the broken aligment
which will result in parser error and the termination of the pipeline. Such
issue existed in tsdemux element and might exist in any forks of that code.

Until now, any streams in tsmux had to be present when the element
started its first buffer. Now they can appear at any point during the
stream, or even disappear and reappear later using the same PID.
