Currently, we have a AV_CODEC_ID_SSA, which matches the way the ASS/SSA
markup is muxed in a standalone .ass/.ssa file. This means the AVPacket
data starts with a "Dialogue:" string, followed by a timing information
(start and end of the event as string) and a trailing CRLF after each
line. One packet can contain several lines. We'll refer to this layout
as "SSA" or "SSA lines".
In matroska, this markup is not stored as such: it has no "Dialogue:"
prefix, it contains a ReadOrder field, the timing information is not in
the payload, and it doesn't contain the trailing CRLF. See [1] for more
info. We'll refer to this layout as "ASS".
Since we have only one common codec for both formats, the matroska
demuxer is constructing an AVPacket following the "SSA lines" format.
This causes several problems, so it was decided to change this into
clean ASS packets.
Some insight about what is changed or unchanged in this commit:
CODECS
------
- the decoding process still writes "SSA lines" markup inside the ass
fields of the subtitles rectangles (sub->rects[n]->ass), which is
still the current common way of representing decoded subtitles
markup. It is meant to change later.
- new ASS codec id: AV_CODEC_ID_ASS (which is different from the
legacy AV_CODEC_ID_SSA)
- lavc/assdec: the "ass" decoder is renamed into "ssa" (instead of
"ass") for consistency with the codec id and allows to add a real
ass decoder. This ass decoder receives clean ASS lines (so it starts
with a ReadOrder, is followed by the Layer, etc). We make sure this
is decoded properly in a new ass-line rectangle of the decoded
subtitles (the ssa decoder OTOH is doing a simple straightforward
copy). Using the packet timing instead of data string makes sure the
ass-line now contains the appropriate timing.
- lavc/assenc: just like the ass decoder, the "ssa" encoder is renamed
into "ssa" (instead of "ass") for consistency with the codec id, and
allows to add a real "ass" encoder.
One important thing about this encoder is that it only supports one
ass rectangle: we could have put several dialogue events in the
AVPacket (separated by a \0 for instance) but this would have cause
trouble for the muxer which needs not only the start time, but also
the duration: typically, you have merged events with the same start
time (stored in the AVPacket->pts) but a different duration. At the
moment, only the matroska do the merge with the SSA-line codec.
We will need to make sure all the decoders in the future can't add
more than one rectangle (and only one Dialogue line in it
obviously).
FORMATS
-------
- lavf/assenc: the .ass/.ssa muxer can take both SSA and ASS packets.
In the case of ASS packets as input, it adds the timing based on the
AVPacket pts and duration, and mux it with "Dialogue:", trailing
CRLF, etc.
- lavf/assdec: unchanged; it currently still only outputs SSA-lines
packets.
- lavf/mkv: the demuxer can now output ASS packets without the need of
any "SSA-lines" reconstruction hack. It will become the default at
next libavformat bump, and the SSA support will be dropped from the
demuxer. The muxer can take ASS packets since it's muxed normally,
and still supports the old SSA packets. All the SSA support and
hacks in Matroska code will be dropped at next lavf bump.

Print an error and abort when the option is of the wrong type (decoding
for output file or vice versa), since this could never be correct for
any input or output configuration.
Print a warning and continue when the option is of the correct type,
just unused, so same commandlines can be reused for different kinds of
input or output files.

This only takes care of decrypting incoming packets; the outgoing
RTCP packets are not encrypted. This is enough for some use cases,
and signalling crypto keys for use with outgoing RTCP packets
doesn't fit as simply into the API. If the SDP demuxer is hooked
up with custom IO, the return packets can be encrypted e.g. via the
SRTP protocol.
If the SRTP keys aren't available within the SDP, the decryption
can be handled externally as well (when using custom IO).

Limelight is a not too uncommon CDN. The authentication scheme is
pretty similar to the adobe authentication, but is even closer to
normal http digest authentication (but not close enough to warrant
sharing code) than the adobe version.

This is mostly used to authenticate the client when publishing.
Tested with wowza and akamai.
Some but not all servers support resending a new connect invoke
within the same connection, so always reconnect for sending a new
connection attempt. This matches what other applications do as well.
The authentication scheme is structurally pretty similar to http
digest authentication, but uses base64 instead of hex strings.

Note that the linebreaks text codec option (but not the feature) has
been removed; its main goal was to allow demuxers to configure the text
decoder (and not meant to be used by users), but the AVOption are not a
viable solution. This is solved differently in this commit.

The filter is under GPL like the original filter, even if it differs
quite a lot. There is not much point in making it LGPL since pp is under
