733c109ce9 nvcodec: Clean up pointless return values around plugin init
Any plugin which returned FALSE from plugin_init will be blacklisted
so the plugin will be unusable even if an user install required runtime
dependency next time. So that's the reason why nvcodec returns TRUE always.

This commit is to remove possible misreading code.

92afa74939 nvenc: Register elements per GPU device with capability check
* By this commit, if there are more than one device,
nvenc element factory will be created per
device like nvh264device{device-id}enc and nvh265device{device-id}enc
in addition to nvh264enc and nvh265enc, so that the element factory
can expose the exact capability of the device for the codec.

* Each element factory will have fixed cuda-device-id
which is determined during plugin initialization
depending on the capability of corresponding device.
(e.g., when only the second device can encode h265 among two GPU,
then nvh265enc will choose "1" (zero-based numbering)
as it's target cuda-device-id. As we have element factory
per GPU device, "cuda-device-id" property is changed to read-only.

* nvh265enc gains ability to encoding
4:4:4 8bits, 4:2:0 10 bits formats and up to 8K resolution
depending on device capability.
Additionally, I420 GLMemory input is supported by nvenc.

c18fda03d9 nvdec,nvenc: Port to dynamic library loading
... and put them into new nvcodec plugin.

* nvcodec plugin
Now each nvenc and nvdec element is moved to be a part of nvcodec plugin
for better interoperability.
Additionally, cuda runtime API header dependencies
(i.e., cuda_runtime_api.h and cuda_gl_interop.h) are removed.
Note that cuda runtime APIs have prefix "cuda". Since 1.16 release with
Windows support, only "cuda.h" and "cudaGL.h" dependent symbols have
been used except for some defined types. However, those types could be
replaced with other types which were defined by "cuda.h".

* dynamic library loading
CUDA library will be opened with g_module_open() instead of build-time linking.
On Windows, nvcuda.dll is installed to system path by CUDA Toolkit
installer, and on *nix, user should ensure that libcuda.so.1 can be
loadable (i.e., via LD_LIBRARY_PATH or default dlopen path)
Therefore, NVIDIA_VIDEO_CODEC_SDK_PATH env build time dependency for Windows
is removed.
