It creates a new structure for passing the codec quality structure at _start(),
where it will be filled. The quality level can be set or changed according
encoder limits.
Later the quality level will be set at _update_session_parameters() and at each
frame encoding. That's why it has to be set at _start().

The algorithm for generating the current slot index is a simple round robin,
nonetheless it's not assured that the next slot index it's not still used by a
still living encode picture.
This new way holds an array with the still living encode pictures and the next
slot index looks for a released index in the array.
Its downside is deallocating a picture need to be removed from the array, so the
helper has to be passed to the uninit() function

In GStreamer that buffer information is decoupled, holding other structures to
describe the stream: GstCaps. So, to keep the GStreamer design this patch
removes these information from GstVulkanEncoderPicture and pass to
gst_vulkan_encoder_encode() a pointer to GstVideoInfo.

That's the number of references that gst_vulkan_encoder_encode() receives to
process, so it has to go as a parameter, because it's part of the reference
list, not of the picture.
This commit also modified unit tests accordingly.

The structure already stored the generic video capabilities and the specific
codec capabilities both for encoding an decoding. The generic decoder
capabilities weren't stored because it was only used internally in the decoder
helper object. Nonetheless, for the encoder, the elements will need the generic
encoder capabilities to configure the encoding. That's why it's required to
expose it as part of GstVulkanVideoCapabilities. And the generic decoder is
included for the sake of symmetry.
While updating the API vkvideoencodeh265 test got some code-style fixes.

According to the spec 2 cannot be a valid value, so that stream has a
bad config record. but breaking the decoding because of that, perhaps is too much.

Instead of dragging the last destination pipeline stage as current barrier
source pipeline stage (which isn't a valid semantic) this patch adds a parameter
to gst_vulkan_operation_add_frame_barrier() to set the source pipeline stage to
define the barrier.
The previous logic brought problems particularly with queue transfers, when the
new queue doesn't support the stage set during a previous operation in a
different queue.
Now the operation API is closer to Vulkan semantics.

From the spec (chapter 34, v1.3.283):
````
UNORM: the components are unsigned normalized values in the range [0, 1]
SRGB: the R, G and B components are unsigned normalized value that represent
values using sRGB nonlinear encoding, while the A component (if one
exists) is a regular unsigned normalized value
```
The difference is the storage encoding, the first one is aimed for image
transfers, while the second is for shaders, mostly in the swapchain stage in the
pipeline, and it's done automatically if needed [1].
As far as I have checked, other frameworks (FFmpeg, GTK+), when import or export
images from/to Vulkan, use exclusively UNORM formats, while SRGB formats are
ignored.
My conclusion is that Vulkan formats are related on how bits are stored in
memory rather their transfer functions (colorimetry).
This patch does two interrelated changes:
1. It swaps certain color format maps to try first, in both
gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info() and gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info_2(),
the UNORM formats, when comparing its usage, and later check for SRGB.
2. It removes the code that check for colorimetry in
gst_vulkan_format_from_video_info_2(), since it not storage related.

Since we don't want to expose video decoding API outside of GStreamer, the
header is removed from installation and both source files are renamed as
-private.
The header must remain in gst-libs because is referred by GstVulkanQueue,
which's the decoder factory.

Adding new property in order to notify users of device removed status.
Once device removed status is detected, application should release
all ID3D12Device objects corresponding to the adapter, including
GstD3D12Device object. Otherwise D3D12CreateDevice() call for the
adapter will fail.

It seems that when D3D11CreateDevice collides in time
with other D3D11 calls, in particular the proccess of
creating a shader, it can corrupt the memory in the driver.
D3D11 spec doesn't seem to require any thread safety from
D3D11CreateDevice. Following MSDN, it is supposed to be called
in the beginning of the proccess, while GStreamer calls it with each
new pipeline.
Such crashes in the driver were frequently reproducing on the
Intel UHD 630 machine.

We suspect that it's not thread safe to just create and
destroy the device from any thread, particularly because
of D3D11CreateDevice, that is not documented as thread-safe.
While D3D11CreateDevice is usually protected from outside
by the gst_d3d11_ensure_element_data, it still can cross
with the Release() method of another device.
