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.
Use GstVaapiDpb interface instead of maintaining our own prev and next
picture pointers. While doing so, try to derive a sensible POC value.

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.
Use standard GstVideoCodecState throughout GstVaapiDecoder and expose
it with a new gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() function. This makes
it possible to drop picture size (width, height) information, framerate
(fps_n, fps_d) information, pixel aspect ratio (par_n, par_d) information,
and interlace mode (is_interlaced field).
This is a new API with backwards compatibility maintained. In particular,
gst_vaapi_decoder_get_caps() is still available.

If GstVaapiPicture has flag SKIPPED set, this means gst_vaapi_picture_output()
will not push the underlying surface for rendering. Besides, VC-1 skipped P-frame
has nothing to do with rendering. This only means that the currently decoded
picture is just a copy of its reference picture.
The new API simplifies a lot reference counting and makes it more
flexible for future additions/changes. The GstVaapiCodecInfo is
also gone. Rather, new helper macros are provided to allocate
picture, slice and quantization matrix parameter buffers.
