Spec 7.1.3:
If a memory object does not have the VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT
property, then vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges must be called in order to guarantee
that writes to the memory object from the host are made available to the host
domain, where they can be further made available to the device domain via a
domain operation. Similarly, vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges must be called to
guarantee that writes which are available to the host domain are made visible to
host operations.

Because of the asynchronous resolving of mDNS ICE candidates it is
possible that GstWebRTCICE outlives webrtcbin. This in turn prolongs
the lifetime of the GstWebRTCNiceStream objects via refs in
nice_stream_map. Thus the GstWebRTCICETransport objects held in
GstWebRTCNiceStream may be invalid at the time they are accessed by
the _on_candidate_gathering_done() callback since GstWebRTCNiceStream
doesn't take a reference to them. Doing so would create a circular
reference, so instead this commit introduces weak references to the
transport objects and then we can check if the objects are valid before
accessing them.

In theory, input caps can be updated anytime at non-keyframe or

These null checkes are slightly misleading when double-checking

In fact, all the h264 bit writer have byte aligned output except

According to W3C
specification (https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#datachannel-send) we
should return InvalidStateError exception when trying to send when the
channel is not open. In the world of C/glib/gstreamer we don't have
exceptions but have to rely on gboolean/GError instead. Introducing
these calls for a change in function signature of the action signals
used to send data on the datachannel. Changing the signature of the
existing "send-string" and "send-data" signals would mean an immediate
breaking change so instead we deprecate them. Furthermore, there is no
way to express GError** as an argument to an action signal in a way
that fits language bindings (pointer-to-pointer simply does not work)
and we have to use regular functions instead.
Therefore we introduce gst_webrtc_data_channel_send_data_full() and
gst_webrtc_data_channel_send_string_full() while deprecating the old
functions and corresponding signals.

This patch adds general mechanism for handling specific hacks. In this
case for jpeg decoder in i965 driver, which cannot create surfaces
with fourcc specified.
From jpeg decoder to the allocator, which creates the surfaces,
there's a non-simple path: basedec pseudo-class adds a hacks guint32
which will be set by actual elements (vajpegdec, in this case) and
basedec will always set the hack to the allocator when the allocator
is instantiated.

Similar to and inspired by glimagesink and gtkglsink.
Using the Wayland buffer transform API allows to offload
rotate operations to the Wayland compositor. This can have
several advantages:
- The Wayland compositor may be able to use hardware plane
capabilities to do the rotation.
- In case of pre-rotated content on rotated outputs the
rotations may equal out, potentially allowing the
compositor to use hardware planes even if they don't
support rotate operations.

g_signal_disconnect*() doesn't stop any existing callbacks from running
which means that if the notify::state callback is in progress in one
thread and the data channel object is finalize()ed in another thread,
then there could be a use-after-free trying lock the data channel
object.
We can't reasonably use a GWeakRef as we don't have a 'parent' object to
free the GWeakRef after the data channel is finalized. This is also
complicated by the fact that the application can hold a reference to the
data channel object that would live beyond the lifetime of webrtcbin
itself.
We solve this by implementing a ghetto weak-ref solution internally with
a list of outstanding data channels.

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the

The system_frame_number is notably used by V4L2 decoder as a unique
indentifier for the frame that was decoded. This value is used to tell driver
which frame to reference, as V4L2 does not have an efficient mechanism to
otherwise pass back the frames.
For this reason, and because it is more ligical, copy the original
system_frame_number into the duplicate picture instead of using the current
frame.

Showing existing keyframe have special meaning in AV1. All the references
frame will be refreshed with the original keyframe information. The refresh
process (7.20) is implemented by saving data from the frame_header into the
state. To fix this special case, load all the relevant information into the
frame_header.
As there is nothing happening in between this and the loading of the key-frame
into the state, this patch also remove the separate API function, using it
internally instead.

Holding previously decoded but not outputted pictures even after
