There is no reason to enforce a high minimum. In the context
of streaming only a few output buffers and capture buffers
are even needed for continuous playback. This also helps
alleviate memory pressure when decoding 4K media.

This commit follows the same logic as 061a0c14bb, but for the encode API: The
new public encoding API will no longer be a wrapper around the old deprecated
one, and the internal API used by the encoders now consists of a single
receive_packet() callback that pulls frames as required.

* FFmpeg retrieves a packet from the bitstream
* It attempts to get an input buffer (from its own list or by dequeuing one from the driver)
* If no input buffer is found, the bitstream packet is dropped instead of scheduled for trying again later
It's an issue that showed especially at high speeds (like using `-f null -` as output parameters).

Refcount all of the context information. This also fixes a potential
segmentation fault when accessing freed memory (buffer returned after
the codec has been closed).

This patchset enhances Alexis Ballier's original patch and validates
it using Qualcomm's Venus hardware (driver recently landed upstream
[1]).
This has been tested on Qualcomm's DragonBoard 410c and 820c
Configure/make scripts have been validated on Ubuntu 10.04 and
16.04.
Tested decoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
- vp8
- vp9
- hevc
Tested encoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
Tested transcoding (concurrent encoding/decoding)
Some of the changes introduced:
- v4l2: code cleanup and abstractions added
- v4l2: follow the new encode/decode api.
- v4l2: fix display size for NV12 output pool.
- v4l2: handle EOS (EPIPE and draining)
- v4l2: vp8 and mpeg4 decoding and encoding.
- v4l2: hevc and vp9 support.
- v4l2: generate EOF on dequeue errors.
- v4l2: h264_mp4toannexb filtering.
- v4l2: fixed make install and fate issues.
- v4l2: codecs enabled/disabled depending on pixfmt defined
- v4l2: pass timebase/framerate to the context
- v4l2: runtime decoder reconfiguration.
- v4l2: add more frame information
- v4l2: free hardware resources on last reference being released
- v4l2: encoding: disable b-frames for upstreaming (patch required)
