2c449e42ca decoder: refactor decoder unit API.
Allocate decoder unit earlier in the main parse() function and don't
delegate this task to derived classes. The ultimate purpose is to get
rid of dynamic allocation of decoder units.

8d2b7241fc h264: introduce parser info instead of H.264 specific decoder unit.
Use a new GstVaapiParserInfoH264 data structure instead of deriving
from GstVaapiDecoderUnit for H.264 specific parser information.

0963afce0b h264: set default values for some header fields.
The SPS, PPS and slice headers are not fully zero-initialized in the
codecparsers/ library. Rather, the standard upstream behaviour is to
initialize only certain syntax elements with some inferred values if
they are not present in the bitstream.

At the gstreamer-vaapi decoder level, we need to further initialize
certain syntax elements with some sensible default values so that to
not complicate VA drivers that just pass those verbatim to the HW,
and also avoid an memset() of the whole decoder unit.

098eb2624e h264: optimize initialization process of decoder units.
Decoder units were zero-initialized, including the SPS/PPS/slice headers.
The latter don't require zero-initialization since the codecparsers/ lib
will do so for key variables already. This is not a great value per se but
at least it makes it possible to check whether the default initialization
decisions made in the codecparsers/ lib were right or not.

This can be reverted if this exposes too many issues.

0b2e399235 h264: minor clean-ups.
Drop explicit initialization of most fields that are implicitly set to
zero. Drop helper macros for casting to GstVaapiPictureH264 or
GstVaapiFrameStore. Also remove some useless checks for NULL pointers.

4992e7c60f h264: drop GstVaapiSliceH264 object.

Implement GstVaapiDecoder.start_frame() and end_frame() semantics so
that to create new VA context earlier and submit VA pictures to the
HW for decoding as soon as possible. i.e. don't wait for the next
frame to start decoding the previous one.

63c455d28d h264: add codec specific decoder unit.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitH264 object, which holds the standard
NAL unit header (GstH264NalUnit) and additional parsed header info.
Besides, we now parse headers as early as in the _parse() function so
that to avoid un-necessary creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for
NAL units that are not slices.

This is a performance win by ~+1.1% only.

1bd5ab4db3 h264: initialize VA context before allocating the first slice.
Fix decode_slice() to ensure a VA context exists prior to creating a
new GstVaapiSliceH264, which invokes vaCreateBuffer() with some VA
context ID. i.e. the latter was not initialized, thus causing failures
on Cedar Trail for example.

cb0da4ed7a h264: fix picture size in macroblocks.
The picture size signalled by sps->{width,height} is the actual size with
cropping applied, not the original size derived from pic_width_in_mbs_minus1
and pic_height_in_map_units_minus1. VA driver expects that original size,
uncropped.

There is another issue pending: frame cropping information needs to be
taken care of.

and no SPS and PPS was inserted before the first slice of the generated
substream.

particular, when field_pic_flag is set to 0, the new reference flags shall
be applied to both fields.

2c13b17cdb h264: add initial support for interlaced streams.
Decoded frames are only output when they are complete, i.e. when both
fields are decoded. This also means that the "interlaced" caps is not
propagated to vaapipostproc or vaapisink elements. Another limitation
is that interlaced bitstreams with MMCO are unlikely to work.

c59d935505 h264: split remove_reference_at() into finer units.
Split remove_reference_at() into a function that actually removes the
specified entry from the short-term or long-term reference picture array,
and a function that sets reference flags to the desired value, possibly
zero. The latters marks the picture as "unused for reference".

picture structure is derived from the original picture structure, as
defined by the syntax elements field_pic_flag and bottom_field_flag.

d180a3a9f6 h264: simplify reference picture marking process.
... to build the short_ref[] and long_ref[] lists from the DPB, instead
of maintaining them separately. This avoids refs/unrefs while making it
possible to generate the list based on the actual picture structure.

This also ensures that the list of generated ReferenceFrames[] actually
matches what reference frames are available in the DPB. i.e. short_ref[]
and long_ref[] entries are implied from the DPB, so there is no risk of
having "dangling" references.

Use the POC member available in the GstVaapiPicture base class and
get rid of the dependency on the local VAPictureH264 TopFieldOrderCnt
and BottomFieldOrderCnt. Rather, use a simple field_poc[] array
initialized to INT_MAX, so that to simplify picture POC calculation
for non frame pictures.

e30a518267 h264: fix activation order of picture and sequence parameters.
Delay ensure_context() until we actually need a VA context for allocating
new VA surfaces, and then GstVaapiPictures, but also when a real activation
of a new picture parameter set occurs, thus also implying an activation
of the related sequence parameter set.

The most important thing was to drop the global pps and sps pointers since
they may not have matched the currently activated picture parameter or
sequence parameter sets at the specified decode point.

Anoter positive side-effect is that this cleans up all occurrences of
decode_current_picture() to only keep those useful in decode_picture(),
before a new picture is allocated, or in decode_sequence_end() when
an end-of-stream or end-of-sequence condition occurred.

efaab79e89 h264: optimize handling of scaling lists.
Don't copy scaling lists twice to an intermediate state. Rather, directly

by SPS header, if necessary. i.e. if PPS-specific scaling lists are not
available in the bitstream.
