This cap is currently used to mark multithreading-capable codecs that
wrap external libraries with their own multithreading code. The name is
highly confusing for our API users, since libavcodec ALWAYS handles
thread_count=0 (see commit message in previous commit). Therefore rename
the cap and update its documentation to make its meaning clear.
The old name is kept deprecated until next+1 major bump.
AV_CODEC_CAP_AUTO_THREADS was originally added in b4d44a45f9 to mark
codecs that spawn threads internally and are able to select an optimal
threads count by themselves (all such codecs are wrappers around
external libraries). It is used by lavc generic code to check whether it
should handle thread_count=0 itself or pass the zero directly to the
codec implementation. Within this meaning, it is clearly supposed to be
an internal cap rather than a public one, since from the viewpoint of a
libavcodec user, lavc ALWAYS handles thread_count=0. Whether it happens
in the generic code or within the codec internals is not a meaningful
difference for the caller.
External aspects of this flag will be dealt with in the following
commit.
The libaom doxy says that a value of 0 for the threads fields is
equivalent to a value of 1, whereas for avctx->thread_count it means
the maximum amount of threads possible for the host system.
Use av_cpu_count() to get the correct thread count when auto threads
is requested.

Some containers, like Matroska, may propagate key frames with no Sequence
Header OBU since it's provided in extradata instead.
With this change, the Sequence Header will be appended to the packet data
before calling aom_codec_decode().

* commit 'c438899a706422b8362a13714580e988be4d638b':
Add AV1 video decoding support through libaom
This contains some extra changes taken from the libvpx decoder
wrapper, most of them contained in the set_pix_fmt() function.
