Seungha Yang 7b6023d9cf nvcodec: Add support for CUDA IPC
Adding cudaipc{src,sink} element for CUDA IPC support.

Implementation note:
* For the communication between end points, Win32 named-pipe
and unix domain socket will be used on Windows and Linux respectively.

* cudaipcsink behaves as a server, and all GPU resources will be owned by
the server process and exported for other processes, then cudaipcsrc
(client) will import each exported handle.

* User can select IPC mode via "ipc-mode" property of cudaipcsink.
There are two IPC mode, one is "legacy" which uses legacy CUDA IPC
method and the other is "mmap" which uses CUDA virtual memory API
with OS's resource handle sharing method such as DuplicateHandle()
on Windows. The "mmap" mode might be better than "legacy" in terms
of stability since it relies on OS's resource management but
it would consume more GPU memory than "legacy" mode.
