Xilinx ZYNQ UltraScale+ Video Encoding using GStreamer pipelines

The following pipelines were tested using the smartcam firmware, which is based on the kv260_ispMipiRx_vcu_DP Vitis platform provided by Xilinx. This platform contains the following input pipeline:

AR1335 camera -> AP1302 ISP -> MIPI CSI-2 RX Subsystem -> Video Frame Buffer Write
