Once it is determined that an Intel GPU is available/active (after
looking into udev's database), we try to see if there is a h/w
based encoder (element) available (in Gstreamer's registry cache)
for the user selected video codec. In other words, if we find that
the Intel Media SDK Gstreamer plugin (libgstmsdk.so) and associated
libraries (such as va or vaapi) are all installed properly, we add
the appropriate h/w based encoder and post-processor/converter
elements to the pipeline (along with any relevant options) instead
of the s/w based elements.
For example, if the user selects h264 as the preferred codec format,
msdkh264enc and vapostproc will be preferred instead of x264enc
and videoconvert.
v2: (addressed some review comments from Frediano)
- Moved the udev helper into spice-common
- Refactored the code to choose plugins in order msdk > va > vaapi
v3: (Frediano)
- Added relevant encoder options for mjpeg and vp9 codecs (Jin Chung)
v4: (Fixups from Frediano)
- Free the encoder when we cannot find vpp
- Change type and find plugins array length using G_N_ELEMENTS
- Fix gstenc_name UAF by freeing it at the end of the function
- Use g_str_has_prefix instead of strstr
- Include the string "_hw_" in function names that deal with
h/w based plugins
- Rebase on master
