He Junyan dfc730165c libs: encoder: H265: Add screen content coding extensions support.
In scc mode, the I frame can ref to itself and it needs the L0 reference
list enabled. So we should set the I frame to P_SLICE type. We do not need
to change the ref_pic_list0/1 passed to VA driver, just need to enable the
VAEncPictureParameterBufferHEVC->pps_curr_pic_ref_enabled_flag to notify
the driver consider the current frame as reference. For bits conformance,
the NumRpsCurrTempList0 should be incremented by one to include the current
picture as the reference frame. We manually do it when packing the slice header.

Command line like:
gst-launch-1.0  videotestsrc num-buffers=10 ! \
capsfilter caps=video/x-raw,format=NV12, framerate=30/1,width=640,height=360 ! \
vaapih265enc ! capsfilter caps=video/x-h265,profile="{ (string)screen-extended-main }" ! \
filesink location=out.265
Can be used to specify that the encoder should use SCC profiles.

Overview
--------

gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.

  * `vaapi<CODEC>dec' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264
    AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8, VP9, VC-1, WMV3, HEVC videos to VA surfaces,
    depending on the actual value of <CODEC> and the underlying
    hardware capabilities.  This plugin is also able to implicitly
    download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.

  * `vaapi<CODEC>enc' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC, H.264
    MVC, JPEG, VP8, VP9, HEVC videos, depending on the actual value of
    <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.) and the hardware capabilities. By
    default, raw format bitstreams are generated, so the result may be
    piped to a muxer, e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.

  * `vaapipostproc' is used to filter VA surfaces, for e.g. scaling,
    deinterlacing (bob, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated), noise
    reduction or sharpening. This plugin is also used to upload raw
    YUV pixels into VA surfaces.

  * `vaapisink' is used to render VA surfaces to an X11 or Wayland
    display. This plugin also features a "headless" mode (DRM) more
    suited to remote transcode scenarios, with faster throughput.

  * `vaapioverlay` is a accelerated compositor that blends or
    composite different video streams.


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.39
  * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, HEVC and
    VP9 ad-hoc decoders
  * MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8, VP9 and HEVC ad-hoc
    encoders
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for EGL backend
  * Support for the Wayland display server
  * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM

  * Support for VA Video Processing APIs (VA/VPP)
    - Scaling and color conversion
    - Image enhancement filters: Sharpening, Noise Reductio, Color
      Balance, Skin-Tone-Enhancement
    - Advanced deinterlacing: Motion-Adaptive, Motion-Compensated


Requirements
------------

Hardware requirements

  * Hardware supported by i965 driver or iHD, such as
    - Intel Ironlake, Sandybridge, Ivybridge, Haswell, Broadwell,
      Skylake, etc. (HD Graphics)
    - Intel BayTrail, Braswell
    - Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
    - Intel Medfield or Cedar Trail
  * Hardware supported by AMD Radeonsi driver, such as the list below
    - AMD Carrizo, Bristol Ridge, Raven Ridge, Picasso, Renoir
    - AMD Tonga, Fiji, Polaris XX, Vega XX, Navi 1X
  * Other hardware supported by Mesa VA gallium state-tracker


Usage
-----

  VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
  using playbin should work as is.
  However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
  constructed.

  * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
      qtdemux ! vaapidecodebin ! vaapisink fullscreen=true

  * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
      mpegvideoparse ! vaapimpeg2dec ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink

  * Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=yuy2 width=1280 height=720 ! \
      vaapipostproc format=nv12 height=480 ! vaapisink

  * Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
      vaapih264enc rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
      qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
