Update plugin elements with the new GstVaapiVideoMeta API.
This also fixes support for subpictures/overlay because GstVideoDecoder
generates a sub-buffer from the GstVaapiVideoBuffer. So, that sub-buffer
is marked as read-only. However, when comes in the textoverlay element
for example, it checks whether the input buffer is writable. Since that
buffer read-only, then a new GstBuffer is created. Since gst_buffer_copy()
does not preserve the parent field, the generated buffer in textoverlay
is not exploitable because we lost all VA specific information.
Now, with GstVaapiVideoMeta information attached to a standard GstBuffer,
all information are preserved through gst_buffer_copy() since the latter
does copy metadata (qdata in this case).
Try to allocate the GstVaapiUploader helper object prior to listing the
supported image formats. Otherwise, only a single generic caps is output
with no particular pixel format referenced in there.
Use GstVaapiUploader helper that automatically handles direct rendering
mode, thus making the "direct-rendering" property obsolete and hence it
is now removed.
The "direct-rendering" level 2, i.e. exposing VA surface buffers, was never
really well supported and it could actually trigger degraded performance.

If vaapisink is in the GStreamer pipeline, then we shall allocate a
unique GstVaapiDisplay and propagate it upstream. i.e. subsequent
queries from vaapidecode shall get a valid answer from vaapisink.
This flag is obsolete. It was meant to explicitly enable/disable VA/GLX API
support, or fallback to TFP+FBO if this API is not found. Now, we check for
the VA/GLX API by default if --enable-glx is set. If this API is not found,
we now default to use TFP+FBO.
Note: TFP+FBO, i.e. using vaPutSurface() is now also a deprecated usage and
will be removed in the future. If GLX rendering is requested, then the VA/GLX
API shall be used as it covers most usages. e.g. AMD driver can't render to
an X pixmap yet.
Bump GStreamer required version to 0.10.14, needed for
gst_element_class_set_details_simple().
