By design, unixfd is meant to be used for zero-copy and failing when the data is
not FD based memory is wanted to help debug pipelines. Though, there exists
cases, notably with RTP payloader and demuxers, where its not possible
to get all the data into FD memory through allocation queries.
To allow using unixfd for these cases, introduce a property on the unixfdsink
that enable copying the non FD data into freshly allocated memfd.

The element should allocate GstFdMemory large enough to fit incoming
memory's size plus its potential offset.
Fixes "gst_memory_resize: assertion 'size + mem->offset + offset <=
mem->maxsize' failed".
Fixes an issue reproducible on Raspberry Pi 4 that results in a garbled
image on the receiver's end:
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! unixfdsink socket-path=/tmp/socket
gst-launch-1.0 unixfdsrc socket-path=/tmp/socket ! autovideosink

Serialize every GstMeta that supports serialization into the NEW_BUFFER
payload. This is especially important for GstVideoMeta in the case of
multiplanar buffers, or if stride!=width.

This pair of elements, inspired from shmsink/shmsrc, send unix file
descriptors (e.g. memfd, dmabuf) from one sink to multiple source
elements in other processes.
The unixfdsink proposes a memfd/shm allocator, which causes for example
videotestsrc to write directly into memories that can be transfered to
other processes without copying.
