When using qtdemux in a pipeline that should only work as a pure demuxer (not
for actual playback), qtdemux shouldn't emit new GstSegments to correct
the start time (jump to the future) to ensure that the user experiences no
playback delay. By doing so, it's generating the wrong segments when an append
of data from the past happens. When that happens, downstream elements such as
parsers (eg: aacparse) may clip those buffers laying before the GstSegment and
create problems on the GStreamer client app (eg: WebKit).
Getting buffers clipped out because of the wrong GstSegments started becoming
a problen when this commit was introduced:
ab6e49e9cc audioparsers: add back segment clipping to parsers that have lost it
This clipping makes test DASH shaka 35 from MVT tests[1] to fail in
WebKitGTK/WPE (at least) and can potentially cause a number of other problems
in the WebKit Media Source Extensions (MSE) code.
Note that this new behaviour of not emitting new GstSegments only makes sense
when qtdemux is being used as a pure demuxer and not as part of a regular
pipeline. This is why the variant field has been added. When equal to
VARIANT_MSE_BYTESTREAM, it will make qtdemux behave differently in push mode,
taking decisions that meet the expectations for an MSE-like processing mode.
This kind of tweaks have been done in the past for MSS streams, for instance.
That code has been refactored to use VARIANT_MSS_FRAGMENTED now, instead of
its own dedicated boolean flag.

This fixes a compile error with recent upstream FFmpeg.
The AV_CODEC_CAP_AUTO_THREADS was deprecated and renamed to
AV_CODEC_CAP_OTHER_THREADS in FFmpeg upstream commit
7d09579190de (lavc 58.132.100).
The AV_CODEC_CAP_AUTO_THREADS was finally removed in FFmpeg upstream
commit 10c9a0874cb3 (lavc 59.63.100).

This was causing incorrect output when seeking, especially
when used with a multithreaded source like `videotestsrc n-threads=2`.
It should now correctly wait for frames still being processed by VT
while vtdec is flushing.

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.

When the task already exists, we forgot to free the passed `user_data`.
This wasn't an issue for most C code, which doesn't pass a
`GDestroyNotify`, but bindings such as gstreamer-rs do!
That said, allocating a trampoline in gstreamer-rs just for it to get
thrown away again is awkward. Maybe we need a `gst_pad_resume_task`?

The VA API has not defined the scaling list entries for U/V planes
for the 4:4:4 stream. In fact, we do not meet the 4:4:4 format output
for H264 so far, and scaling list is not used frequently, so we just
print out some warning and ignore these scaling list values.

It's not possible to annotate a in-parameter for a return value array as
the array length. Both are assumed to have the same direction and the
current annotation causes the size parameter to be considered an out
parameter.

Due to the dynamic nature of multiqueue, when `use-interleave` is used we can't
report a maximum tolerated latency (when queried) since it is calculated
dynamically.
When in such live pipelines, we need to make sure multiqueue can handle the
lowest global latency (provided by this event). Failure to do that would
result in not providing enough buffering for a realtime pipeline.

This is recommended by various specifications for such framerates, while
for integer framerates we continue using centiframes to allow for some
more accuracy.
Using N means that no rounding error accumulates, eventually leading to
outputting a packet with a different duration.
Some tools such as MediaInfo determine that a stream is variable
framerate if any packet has a different duration than the others, and
there is no reason I can see for not using the full 4 bytes of
resolution that the mp4 timescale offers.
Example problematic pipeline:
```
videotestsrc num-buffers=5001 ! video/x-raw,framerate=60000/1001,width=320,height=240 ! \
videoconvert ! x264enc bitrate=80000 speed-preset=1 tune=zerolatency ! h264parse ! \
video/x-h264,profile=high-10 ! mp4mux ! filesink location="result2.mp4"
```
This results in a media file that MediaInfo detects as variable
framerate because the 5000th packet has duration 99 instead of 100.
With this patch, the timescale is 60000 and all packets have duration
1001.
