 * PARAMETERS: SETTINGs, TUNINGs, and INFOs
 * ===
 *
 * These represent miscellaneous control and metadata information and are likely copied into
 * kernel space. Therefore, these are C-like structures designed to carry just a small amount of
 * information. We are using C++ to be able to add constructors, as well as non-virtual and class
 * methods.
 *
 * ==Specification details:
 *
 * Restrictions:
 *   - must be POD struct, e.g. no vtable (no virtual destructor)
 *   - must have the same size in 64-bit and 32-bit mode (no size_t)
 *   - as such, no pointer members
 *   - some common member field names are reserved as they are defined as methods for all
 *     parameters:
 *     they are: size, type, kind, index and stream
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Params can be global (not related to input or output), related to input or output,
 *   or related to an input/output stream.
 * - All params are queried/set using a unique param index, which incorporates a potential stream
 *   index and/or port.
 * - Querying (supported) params MUST never fail.
 * - All params MUST have default values.
 * - If some fields have "unsupported" or "invalid" values during setting, this SHOULD be
 *   communicated to the app.
 *   a) Ideally, this should be avoided.  When setting parameters, in general, component should do
 *     "best effort" to apply all settings. It should change "invalid/unsupported" values to the
 *     nearest supported values.
 *   - This is communicated to the client by changing the source values in tune()/
 *     configure().
 *   b) If falling back to a supported value is absolutely impossible, the component SHALL return
 *     an error for the specific setting, but should continue to apply other settings.
 *     TODO: this currently may result in unintended results.
 *
 * **NOTE:** unlike OMX, params are not versioned. Instead, a new struct with new param index
 * SHALL be added as new versions are required.
 *
 * The proper subtype (Setting, Info or Param) is incorporated into the class type. Define structs
 * to define multiple subtyped versions of related parameters.
 *
 * ==Implementation details:
 *
 * - Use macros to define parameters
 * - All parameters must have a default constructor
 *   - This is only used for instantiating the class in source (e.g. will not be used
 *     when building a parameter by the framework from key/value pairs.)
