If the v4l2videoenc receives an QUERY_ALLOCATION, it must not propose a
currently used pool, because it cannot be sure that the allocation query came
from exactly the same upstream element. The QUERY_ALLOCATION will not contain
the internal OUTPUT pool.
The upstream element (the basesrc) detects that the newly proposed pool differs
from the old pool. It deactivates the old pool and switches to the new pool.
If there was a format change, a new OUTPUT buffer pool will be allocated in
gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full() and the CAPTURE task will be stopped to switch
the format. If there hasn't been a format change,
gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full() will not be called. The old pool will be kept
and reused.
Without a format change, the processing task continues running.
This leads to the situation that the processing task is running, but the OUTPUT
buffer pool (the old pool) is deactivated. Therefore, the encoder is not able to
get buffers from the OUTPUT pool and encoding cannot continue.
This situation can be triggered by sending a RECONFIGURE event without a format
change.
Resolve this situation by ensuring that the OUTPUT buffer pool is always
activated when frames arrive at the encoder.

There is a CAPTURE pool in the same function. While the CAPTURE pool is called
cpool, using pool for the OUTPUT pool is confusing.
Using opool for the OUTPUT pool makes it more obvious, which pool is used.

The videoencoder base class uses getcaps() to ask a subclass for the caps in its
sink_query_default() implementation.
Replace the custom handling of the QUERY_CAPS in the v4l2videoenc with an
implementation of getcaps() that returns the caps that are supported by the
v4l2videoenc to return these caps in the query.
This getcaps() implementation also calls the provided proxy_getcaps(), which
sends a caps query to downstream. This fixes the v4l2videoenc element to respect
limits of downstream elements in a sink query.

The videoencoder base class always uses the negotiated allocator for allocating
coded buffers and ignores the negotiated buffer pool. Therefore, the
v4l2videoenc always has to copy buffers from the pool into the allocated
output buffers.
This breaks downstream elements that want to import the CAPTURE buffers of the
v4l2videoenc, since the v4l2videoenc copies the exported CAPTURE buffers and
sends the copies downstream.
Always use the CAPTURE buffer pool for acquiring CAPTURE buffers instead of
allocating the buffers in the base class.

In cases that encoder needs to reset format, there is race while draining.
v4l2videoenc finish() sends CMD_STOP command to driver, and desire to return
GST_FLOW_OK. But at this time, encoder CAPTURE may have dequeued the last
buffer and got eos. finish() return value changes to be GST_FLOW_EOS which
causes set format fail. So there is no need to check return value for finish()
when set format.
Also need to flush encoder after draining to make sure flush is finished.

Hantro H1 and Rockchip VEPU2 drivers will pad the width/height to a
multiple of 16. In order to obtain the right JPEG size, the image needs
to be cropped using the S_SELECTION API. This support is added as best
effort since older drivers may emulate this by looking at the capture
queue width/height.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as
last resort. There is no need to mock gettex API any more.
This fix static build on Windows because G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION must
be defined before including libintl.h, and glib does it for us as part
as including glib.h.
