If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, format, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

The last frame which has the smallest diff should be consider as
the first choice rather than the golden frame. Especially when only
one reference available, this way can improve the BD rate about 5
percentage.

Some extreme case such as "videotestsrc pattern=1" can generate pure
white noise videoes, for which encoder may generate too big output
for current coded buffer size. We now consider the qindex and bitrate
to avoid that.

This fixes a crash in `gst_va_h264_enc_class_init` and `gst_va_h265_enc_class_init`
(and probably also in gst_va_av1_enc_class_init) when calling
`g_object_class_install_properties (object_class, n_props, properties);`
When rate_control_type is 0, the following code is executed in :
```
} else {
n_props--;
properties[PROP_RATE_CONTROL] = NULL;
}
```
n_props has initially a value of N_PROPERTIES but PROP_RATE_CONTROL
is not the last element in the array, so it's making
g_object_class_install_properties fail to iterate over the
properties array.
This applies the same fix to gstvah264enc.c, gstvah265enc.c and
gstvaav1enc.c.

In low delay B mode, the P frame is converted as B frame with forward
references. For example, One P frame may refers to P-1, P-2 and P-3 in
list0 and refers to P-3, P-2 and P-1 in list1.
So the num in list0 and list1 does not reflect the forward_num and
backward_num. The vaapi does not provide ref num for forward or backward
so far. In this case, we just consider the backward_num to be 1 conservatively.

In b_pyramid mode, B frames can be ref and prevPicOrderCntLsb can
be the B frame POC which is smaller than the P frame. This can cause
POC diff bigger than MaxPicOrderCntLsb/2 and generate wrong POC value.

When the conversion is only caps feature from memory:VAMemory to system memory,
it's possible to optimize by doing a pseudo pass-through since the va-backed
buffers are the same for system memory buffers.
This change will also mitigates #2940

If the allocation query received from downstream doesn't handle GstVideoMeta but
it requests memory:DMABuf caps feature, it's incomplete, so we rather reject the
negotiation.
Both in base decoder, base transform and compositor.

This is a simplification of the venerable
gst_va_base_dec_get_preferred_format_and_caps_features() function, which
predates since gstreamer-vaapi. It's used to select the format and the
capsfeature to use when setting the output state. It was complex and hard to
follow. This refactor simplifies a lot the algorithm.
The first thing to remove _downstream_has_video_meta() since, most of the time
it will be called before the caps negotiation, and allocation queries make sense
only after caps negotiation. It might work during renegotiation but, in that
case, caps feature change is uncommon. Better a simple and common approach.
Also, for performance, instead of dealing with caps features as strings, GQuarks
are used.
The refactor works like this:
1. If peer pad returns any caps, the returned caps feature is system memory and
looks for a proper format in the allowed caps.
2. The allowed caps are traversed at most 3 times: one per each valid caps
feature. First VAMemory, later DMABuf, and last system memory. The first to
match in allowed caps is picked, and the first format matching with the
chroma is picked too.
Notice that, right now, using playbin videoconvert never return any.

The output of VP9 and AV1 encoder is a little different from the H264
and H265 encoder, it may contain repeat frames and so the output frame
number may be more than the input. We need to call finish_subframe()
when some frame will be repeated later. So we need to extend the
current prepare_output() virtual function.
