Note that we can only avoid copies for the first 1 Mpixels or so.
That's because Spice splits larger frames into more chunks than we can
fit GstMemory fragments in a GStreamer buffer. So if there are more
pixels we will avoid copies for the first 3840 KB and copy the rest.
Furthermore, while in practice the GStreamer encoder will only modify
the RedDrawable refcount during the encode_frame(), in theory the
refcount could be decremented from the GStreamer thread after
encode_frame() returns.

This way the video encoder is not forced to use malloc()/free().
This also allows more flexibility in how the video encoder manages the
buffer which allows for a zero-copy implementation in both video
encoders.

The Spice server administrator can specify the encoder and codec
preferences to optimize for CPU or bandwidth usage. Preferences are
described in a semi-colon separated list of encoder:codec pairs.
The server has a default preference list which can explicitly be
selected by specifying 'auto'.

encode_frame() needs the QXL_DRAW_COPY operation's SpiceCopy.src_area
field anyway, so the width and height parameters were redundant.

Video frames correspond to QXL_DRAW_COPY operations where the frame area
is defined by the SpiceCopy.src_area field.

This replaces the original mjpeg_encoder API with a VideoEncoder base
class which can be reimplemented by other encoders.
This also renames the members and enums from mjpeg_* to video_*.

This is a generic function not tied to the red_xxx functionality and the
new name clarifies that it returns the time in nanoseconds (unlike
g_get_monotonic_time()).

Note that if frame_size == bytes_per_sec == 0 this now returns
MJPEG_MAX_FPS but this should not happen anyway.
