Split fields ends up on multiple picture and requires accessing the
other_field to complete the information (POC).
This also cleanup the DPB from non-reference (was not useful) and skips
properly merge field instead of keeping them duplicated. This fixes most
of interlace decoding seen in fluster.

When a frame is composed of two fields, the base class now split the
picture in two. In order to support this, we need to ensure that picture
buffer is held in VB2 queue so that the second field get decoded into
it. This also implements the new_field_picture() virtual and sets the
previous request on the new picture.

alphacombine element is a simple element that assumes buffers are always
paired, or at least that missing buffers are signalled with a GAP. The QoS
implementation in the GstVideoDecoder base class allow decoders dropping
frames independently and that could lead to stall in alphacombine.

This add src format validation, this avoid registering element for
drivers we don't support any of their src formats. This also special
case the AlphaDecodeBin wrapper, as we know that alphacombine element
only support I420 and NV12 for now.

codecalpha is a new plugin introduced to support VP8/VP9 alpha as
defined in the WebM and Matroska specifications. It splits the stream
into two streams, one for the alpha and one for the actual content,
then it decodes them separately with vpxdec and finally combine the
results as A420 or AV12 (i.e. YUV + an extra alpha plane).
The workflow above is setup by means of a bin, gstcodecalphabin.
This patch simulates the same workflow into the v4l2codecs namespace,
thus using the new v4l2 stateless decoders for hardware acceleration.
This is so we can register the new alpha decode elements only if the
hardware produces formats we support, i.e. I420 or NV12 for now.

DMABuf allocator already implements DMABuf Sync, meaning that doing
mmap/munmap (unless the mode have changed) is not required. In fact, on
systems with IOMMU it makes the kernel redo the mmu table which is visible
in the CPU usage.
This change reduces CPU usage when decoding
bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4 on RK3399 SoC from over 30% to
around 15%.

The picture buffer (V4L2 CAPTURE buffer) was being released immediatly
when the request was done. This was problematic since even after the
request is done, the picture buffer might still be used as a reference
and should not be reused for further decoding yet.
This change effectively bind the picture buffer lifetime to the request.
So that if the picture is never showned (decode only frame) or the request
queue is full before the buffer is displayed, the picture buffer will
remain alive.

Add missing include for sys/ioctl.h so that these warnings dissapear

The new H.264 uAPI requires that all drivers support
scaling matrix only as an option, when a non-flat
scaling matrix is provided in the bitstream headers.
Take advantage of this and avoid passing the scaling
matrix if not needed.

Frame-based decoding mode doesn't require SLICE_PARAMS and
PRED_WEIGHTS controls.
Moreover, if the driver doesn't support these two controls, trying
to set them will fail. Fix this by only setting these on
slice-based decoding mode.

This adds a non-thread safe refcount to the GstV4l2Request. This will
allow holding on more then one request in order to implement render
delay. This is made non-thread safe for speed as we know this will all
happen on the same streaming thread.

Starting from this patch, all queue and dequeue operation happening
on V4L2 is now abstracted with the request. Buffers are dequeued
automatically when pending requests are marked done and only 1 in-flight
request is now used.
Along with fixing issues with request not being reused with slice
decoders, this change reduces the memory footprint by allocating only
two bitstream buffers.

Managing reference picture type by using two variables
(ref and long_term) seems to be redundant and that can be
represented by using a single enum value.
This is to sync this implementation with gstreamer-vaapi so that
make comparison between this and gstreamer-vaapi easier and also
in order to minimize the change required for subclass to be able
to support interlaced.

All subclasses are retrieving list to get target output frame, which
can be done by baseclass. And pass the ownership of the GstH264Picture
to subclass so that subclass can clear implementation dependent resources
before finishing the frame.

With the asynchronous slice decoding, we only queue up to 2 slices
per frames. That side effect is that now we are dequeuing bitstream
buffers in both decoding and presentation order. This would lead to
a bitstream buffer from a previous frame being dequeued instead of
the expected last slice buffer and lead to us trying to queue an
already queued bitstream buffer.
We now fix this by tracking pending requests. As request are executed
in decoding order, we marking a request done, we can effectively
dequeue bitstream buffer from all previous request, as they have been
executed already.

The decoder is not being access from multiple threads, instead it is
always protected by the streaming lock. For this reason, a
GstAtomicQueue for the request pool is overkill and may even introduce
unneeded overhead. Use a GstQueueArray in replacement, the
GstQueueArray is a good fit since the number of item is predictable and
unlikely to vary at run-time.

In slice mode, we'll do one request per slice. In order to recycle
bitstream buffer, and not run-out, wait for the last pending
request to complete and mark it done.
We only wait after having queued the current slice in order to reduce
that potential driver starvation and maintain performance (using dual
buffering).
