videodecoder: Various new API for handling decoding corruption and missing keyframes
This is all for 1.20.
TODO:
-
Make use of the request-sync-point API in openh264dec and vpxdec: -
Make use of the corrupted frame API in avviddec

videodecoder: Bump log level of marking a sync point
Sync points are often important when debugging and deserves DEBUG
level.

videodecoder: Add API for subclasses to request a new sync point
This allows subclasses that notice missing reference frames to request a
new sync point to allow seamless decoding again. While doing so the
subclass can also signal whether it wants a) all following input frames
until the sync point to be discarded or b) all output frames until the
sync point to be marked as corrupt.
Sending of force-keyunit events for this can be throttled by the
application via the "min-force-keyunit-interval" property.
This replaces custom behaviour for the same in various decoders, for
example openh264dec.
Based on patches by Haakon Sporsheim <haakon@pexip.com> and
Stian Selnes <stian@pexip.com>.

videodecoder: Add API for subclasses to signal that they need the stream to start with a sync point
If the first frame(s) at the very beginning or after a flush are not a
sync point then the base class would discard them before passing them to
the subclass.
This also fixes the previously broken distance_from_sync handling: it
was never reset at sync points.

videodecoder: Add "discard-corrupted-frames" property
This can be used by applications to configure decoders so that corrupted
frames are directly discarded instead of being forwarded inside the
pipeline. It is a replacement for the "output-corrupt" property of the
ffmpeg decoders.

videodecoder: Add API for marking output frames as corrupted
This can be used by subclasses to mark output frames as known to be
corrupted, for example if reference frames were missing. ffmpeg's
decoders can signal this.
In addition this flag is propagated downstream if the input frame had it
set.
