vaapi: playbin3 doesn't work with vaapi elements on X11

Description
On the master, the following pipeline leads to deadlock with vaapi elements:
USE_PLAYBIN3=1 gst-play-1.0 xxx.mp4
though this is working:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=xxx.mp4 ! decodebin3 ! vaapisink
This issue includes a couple of issues.
- About sharing vaapidisplay between vaapi elements.
When we're using playbin(2) or decodebin2/3, vaapisink creates its own vaapidisplay first, then shares it with other elements vaapidecoder and vpp.
But with playbin3, it's different.
vpp creates vaapidisplay and shares with vaapidecoder, not vaapisink since it's not linked at this moment. Besides, playbin3 doesn't implement auto-query yet, IIRC.
So vaapisink creates its own vaapidisplay. Finally, vaapisink get context query, share and use the vaapidisplay of vpp/vaapidecoder.
Meanwhile, the shared vaapidisplay is vaapidisplayglx with glx context and XDisplay from gst-gl.
- XDisplay from gst-gl should be handeld by xcb probably.
Since the commit(https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/commit/gst-libs/gst/gl?id=4f6c226bd24ae3ef66bd8f4c17b001444c9b0bf1) landed, This XDisplay can't work in our vaapiwindow_x11.
Eventually this causes this deadlock. In wait_event in vaapiwindow_x11.c,
it couldn't get the event MapNotify by this foreign XDisplay.
