The driver - AKA intel-vaapi-driver - has been unmaintained for four years
now and encoding appears to be broken in various cases. As it's unlikely
that the situation will improve, blocklist the driver for encoding.
Decoding appears to be stable enough to keep it enabled.
The driver can still be used by setting the `GST_VA_ALL_DRIVERS` env
variable.

The driver frame counters (processed, dropped, buffer level) are not
always correct apparently, and don't allow reliably assigning a frame
number to captured frames.
Instead of relying on them, count the number of frames directly here and
detect dropped frames based on the capture times of the frames: if more
than 1.75 frame durations are between two frames, then there must've
been a dropped frame.

If a d3d12 memory holds non-direct-queue fence but the fence was
created with D3D12_FENCE_FLAG_SHARED flag, use the fence instead of
waiting for fence at CPU side. Note that d3d12ipcsrc or
d3d12screencapture elements will hold such sharable fence.

The code is simplified by using GQuarks for looking for caps features, and
removing inner loops.
Also, it's used the pad template caps to compare with the incoming caps because
is cheaper at the beginning of negotiation, where the pad template caps is used.
And, since the ANY caps where removed, there's no need to check for an initial
intersection.
Finally, the completion of caps features is done through a loop.

The ANY caps in pad template caps seems to mess up the DMA negotiation.
The command of:
GST_GL_API=opengl gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=NV12 !
vapostproc ! "video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf)" ! glimagesink
fails to negotiate, but in fact, the vapostproc can convert the input NV12
formant into the RGBA format to render.
The ANY may help the passthough mode, but we should make the negotiate correct
first.

After signal recovery the capture times for the next frames are simply
wrong. Experimentally this affected 2-3 frames and seemed to be related

Because DXGI flip mode swapchain will disallow GDI operation
to a HWND once swapchain is configured, videosink has been creating
child window of application's window. However, since window creation
would take a few milliseconds, it can cause performance issue such as
UI freezing. Adding a property so that videosink can attach
DXGI swapchain diretly to application's window in order to improve
performance.

A large refactoring commit for adding features and improve performance
* Reuse internal converter and overlay compositor:
Converter can be reused as long as input and display formats are not
changed. Also overlay compositor reconstruction is required only if
display format is changed
* Don't wait for full GPU flush on resize or close:
D3D12 swapchain requires GPU idle in order to resize backbuffer.
Thus CPU side waiting is required for swapchain related commands
to be finished. However, don't need to wait for full GPU flushing.
* Support multiple sink on a single external window
Keep installed subclass window procedure even if there's no associated
our internal HWND. This will make window procedure hooking less racy.
Then parent HWND's message will be transferred to our internal HWNDs
if needed.
* Adding support for window handle update
Application can change target HWND even when videosink is playing or
paused state. So, users can call gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle()
against d3d12videosink anytime. The videosink will be able to update
internal state and setup resource upon requested.

This was already being used in handle_frame() for errors that happen when queueing a frame for decoding,
let's do the same when a frame is flagged with an error in the output callback.
From quick testing, this makes seeking more reliable (previously, it would sometimes cause a decoding error
and shut the whole decoder down due to GST_FLOW_ERROR).
Also manually sets the max error count to actually stop processing if too many errors occur.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6446>
ReferenceMissingErr is not critical and the simplest solution is to just ignore it. The frame has
the FrameDropped flag set when it occurs, so we can just drop it as usual.
BadDataErr is also not immediately critical, but in its case let's set the ERROR flag,
so the output loop can use GST_VIDEO_DECODER_ERROR to count and error out if it happens too many times.

It can be seen as a WA in the case of multi-channel transcoding (like
decoder output to two channels, one for encoder and one for vpp).
Normally, encoder sets min pts of a huge value to avoid negative dts,
while vpp set pts without this addtional huge value, which are likely to
cause input surface pts does not fit with encoder (since both encoder
and vpp accept the same buffer from decoder, means they modify the timestamp
of one mfx surface). So we add this huge value to vpp to ensure enc and
vpp set the same value to input mfx surface meanwhile does not break
encoder's setting min pts for dts protection.

Adds a separate vtenc_h265a element (with a _hw variant as usual) for the HEVCWithAlpha codec type.
Decided to go with a separate element to not break existing uses of the normal HEVC encoder.
The preserve_alpha property is still only used for ProRes, no need for it here because we explicitly say we want alpha
when using the new element.
For now, the HEVCWithAlpha has an issue where it does not throttle the amount of input frames queued internally.
I added a quick workaround where encode_frame() will block until enqueue_frame() callback notifies it that some space
has been freed up in the internal queue. The limit was set to 5, which should be enough I guess? Hopefully this is not
too prone to race conditions.

Conceptually identical to the present signal of d3d11videosink.
This signal will be emitted with current render target
(i.e., swapchain backbuffer) and command queue. Signal handler
can record GPU commands for an overlay image or to blend
an image to the render target.
In addition to d3d12 resources, videosink will send
d3d11 and d2d resources depending on "overlay-mode"
property, so that signal handler can render by using
preferred/required DirectX API.

The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

Certain V4L2 fourccs don't (yet) have DRM counter parts, in which case
we can't create DMA_DRM caps for them. This is usually the case for
specific tilings, which are represented as modifiers for DMA formats.
While using these tilings is generally preferable - because of e.g.
lower memory usage - it can result in additional conversion steps when
interacting with DMA based APIs such as GL, Vulkan or KMS. In such cases
using a DMA compatible format usually ends up being the better option.
Before the addition of DMA_DRM caps, this was what playbin3 ended up
requesting in various cases - e.g. prefering NV12 over NV12_4L4 - but
the addition of DMA_DRM caps seems to confuse the selection logic.
As a simple and quite robust solution, assume that peers supporting
DMA_DRM caps always prefer these and reorder the caps accordingly.
In the future we plan to have a translation layer for cases where
there is a matching fourcc+modifier pair for a V4L2 fourcc, ensuring
optimal results.

* zero-copy is possible with crop meta
* A picture was duplicated, interlaced h264 stream for example
Interlaced h264 stream with non-zero top-left crop position
