screencastService: Add gstreamer pipeline for h264 encoding on hardware

Try h264 on intel and AMD hardware using VA-API, using vapostproc
to do the color conversion using specialized hardware. We're not adding
a vaapi pipeline using the color conversion GL shader here, as vapostproc
color conversion should be better suited for anything needed by vaapi
based encoders/decoders.

A capsfilter is used to enforce the use of DMAbuf (memory:DMABuf) with
the new explicit modifier API (format=DMA_DRM).

Also, we're using the new va* gst elements instead of the vaapi* ones
here, as the vaapi* elements are deprecated, while the va* elements are
actively maintained.
