[Spice-devel] [PATCH v4] channel-display-gst: Use h/w based decoders with Intel GPUs if possible (v4)

We first try to detect if an Intel GPU is available (by looking into
udev's database) and then probe Gstreamer's registry cache to see
if there is h/w based decoder (element) available for the incoming
video codec format. If both these conditions are satisfied (i.e,
Intel Media SDK Gstreamer plugin (libgstmsdk.so) and associated
libraries are properly installed), we then create a simple decode
pipeline using appropriate h/w based decoder and post-processor
elements instead of relying on playbin -- which may not be able to
auto-select these elements.
For example, if the incoming codec format is h264, we then create
a pipeline using msdkh264dec and vaapipostproc elements instead of
avdec_h264 and videoconvert.
v2: (addressed some review comments from Frediano)
- s/gboolean/bool, s/TRUE/true, s/FALSE/false
- Used a single cleanup label instead of multiple while instantiating
elements
- Moved the code that launches the Gst pipeline into a helper that
is used while trying h/w based plugins
v3:
- Updated the patch to reflect the new signature and return value of
spice_udev_detect_gpu().
v4:
- Include the string "_hw_" in the function that finds best h/w plugins
- Change type and determine plugins array length using G_N_ELEMENTS
- Free vpp_name immediately after using it to prevent leak
- Rebase on master
