Gwenole Beauchesne e8fe78824b decoder: h264: fix inter-view references array growth.
Let the utility layer handle dynamic growth of the inter-view pictures
array. By definition, setting a new size to the array will effectively
grow the array, but would also fill in the newly created elements with
empty entries (NULL), thus also increasing the reported length, which
is not correct.

Overview
--------

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

  * `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1,
    WMV3 videos to video/x-vaapi-surfaces surfaces, depending on the
    underlying HW capabilities.

  * `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 videos,
    depending on the actual value of <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.). By
    default, raw format bitstreams are generated, so the result may be
    piped to an actual muxer like qtmux for MP4 containers.

  * `vaapiupload' is used to convert from video/x-raw-yuv pixels to
    video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces.

  * `vaapidownload' is used to convert from video/x-vaapi-surface
    surfaces to video/x-raw-yuv pixels.

  * `vaapipostproc' is used to postprocess video/x-vaapi-surface
    surfaces, for e.g. deinterlacing, denoising and sharpening.

  * `vaapisink' is used to display video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces to
    screen.


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.34
  * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
  * MPEG-2, H.264 ad-hoc encoders
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for the Wayland display server
  * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM
  * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)
  * Support for HW video encoding on Intel HD Graphics hardware
  * Support for VA Video Processing APIs (VA/VPP)
    - Scaling and color conversion
    - Image enhancement filters: Sharpening, Noise Reduction
    - Advanced deinterlacing: Motion-Adaptive, Motion-Compensated


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

Software requirements

  * GStreamer 0.10.x:
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer0.10-dev (>= 0.10.36)
        or with GstBaseSink::query()
      libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev (>= 0.10.36)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-dev (>= 0.10.22.1)
        or with GstVideoContext, GstSurfaceBuffer, codecparsers

  * GStreamer 1.0.x (including GStreamer 1.2, 1.3):
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)

  * Renderers:
      DRM: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libdrm-dev, libudev-dev
      X11: libva-dev (>= 1.0.1)
      GLX: libva-dev (>= 1.0.3)
      Wayland: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libwayland-dev (>= 0.95.0)

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)
  * Intel Eaglelake (G45)
  * Intel Ironlake, Sandybridge, Ivybridge and Haswell (HD Graphics)
  * Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
  * Intel Medfield or Cedar Trail
  * NVIDIA platforms with PureVideo (VDPAU supported)


Usage
-----

  VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
  using playbin (or playbin2 with GStreamer 0.10) 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 ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true

  * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
      mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! 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 ! \
      vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
      qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
