Gary Bisson 5cc9bbaf99 libimxvpuapi: add new package
This is a library for using the i.MX6 VPU. It is an alternative to
libfslvpuwrap, hosted on Github, and has an API that features several
improvements over libfslvpuwrap, which include:

* User-defined context information associated with input frames, which
is passed on to corresponding output frames (to be able to identify
which input frame produced which output frame)
* Groundwork for future DMA-BUF/BMM/ION/CMA allocator integration, using
file descriptors instead of physical addresses
* Indicators for when it is safe to try to decode frames, which is
critical in multi-threaded playback cases
* Simplified, higher-level JPEG en/decoding API, based on the VPU MJPEG
codec; useful for picture viewing without the extra boilerplate for
VPU-based en/decoding

Changelog 0.10.0 -> 0.10.1:
- add debian packaging files
- update waf to version 1.8.16
- add workaround in wscript to prevent stale pkg-config .pc files
- fix memory leak by adding missing IOFreeVirtMem() call in vpulib
backend

This patch is based on the Yocto equivalent:

This package has been implicitely tested through gstreamer as the
plugins rely on it for vpu decoding:
 # gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///root/tears_of_steel_1080p.webm

This library provides an API for using the iMX6 VPU video
engine. It is an alternative to Freescale's VPU
wrapper. Both the wrapper and this library are layered on
top of imx-vpu, the low-level iMX6 VPU interface.
