Generally speaking, there are two types of v4l2 devices [1]:
1) devices that support a standard, like PAL or NTFS (tv cards, for example). For
this class of devices the framerate is fixed by the standard (for example PAL uses
25 fps) and the v4l2 driver cannot usually negotiate a different framerate (unless
it can skip frames on the driver side, to save I/O bandwidth).
2) devices for which the notion of standard does not make sense (webcams, for example).
For these devices it is usually possibile to request a desidered framerate.
In either case, the desidered frame rate can be requested when the VIDIOC_G_PARM
ioctl returns the V4L2_CAP_TIMEPERFRAME flag in the capability field.
Currently the code does not check for V4L2_CAP_TIMEPERFRAME and supports only the
second category of devices, returning a time per frame of 0/0 for devices in the
first group that do not permit to negotiate the framerate.
This patch adds support to read the correct framerate in all cases.

Since the user is expected to choose the standard by name (with -standard
option), add the possibility to list all the supported standards.

Because libavdevice/v4l2 is a demuxer, it makes sense to look for
decoders instead of encoders when listing the formats supported by the
device.

In particular, report intelligible feedback in case of busy device.

Handling DirectShow events prevents infinite loops when there is an error in
the graph, such as a device being disconnected. This makes it possible for
dshow to return an error to the caller and run the cleanup code.
Based on patch by Don Moir <donmoir@comcast.net>.
Successfully opening a device altered the ret variable, making the function
not cleanup properly and return an incorrect value for errors that happened
afterwards.

This change requires the user to specify min and max value, and makes
possible to prevent the user to set AV_{SAMPLE,PIX}_FMT_NONE if
forbidden.
Add required ifdeffery in case of mixed libraries, when libavutil is
updated but not the other libraries.
This is a followup of 08d0969c14.
Use the i64 field rather than the string value. Using a string to set a
default sample/pixel format is weird, also the new interface is more
consistent with the rest of the API.
This is technically an API break, but hopefully there are no applications
using this feature outside of FFmpeg. In order to save backward
compatibility with mixed libraries in case libavutil is updated but not
the other libraries, some ifdeffery hacks are added.
Note that the version check is only performed when class->version != 0,
since if it is not defined then we assume that no version was defined and
the class is not affected by the change.
We will luckily get rid of the hack at the next major bump.
Move the NO_DSHOW_STRSAFE macro definition in front of the dshow.h
system header inclusion.
This excludes the usage of the STRSAFE functions consistently.
Further background on this can be found in the commit message of
revision 05ee0db1 where the #define was initially introduced.

Allow to specify a filename where to put the filtergraph description.
This is useful to override limitations or glitches of particular shell
environments, and allows a level of indirection for specifying
filtergraphs.
This commit introduces a new AVPacket side data type:
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA. Its main goal is to provide a way to
transmit the metadata from the AVFilterBufferRef up to the AVFrame. This
is at the moment "only" useful for lavfi input from libavdevice:
lavd/lavfi only outputs packets, and the metadata from the buffer ref
kept in its context needs to be transmitted from the packet to the frame
by the decoders. The buffer ref can be destroyed at any time (along with
the metadata), and a duplication of the AVPacket needs to duplicate the
metadata as well, so the choice of using the side data to store them was
selected.
Making sure lavd/lavfi raises the metadata is useful to allow tools like
ffprobe to access the filters metadata (it is at the moment the only
way); ffprobe will now automatically show the AVFrame metadata in any
customizable output format for users. API users will also be able to
access the AVFrame->metadata pointer the same way ffprobe does
(av_frame_get_metadata).
All the changes are done in this single commit to avoid some memory
leaks: for instances, the changes in lavfi/avcodec.c are meant to
duplicate the metadata from the buffer ref into the AVFrame. Unless we
have an internal way of freeing the AVFrame->metadata automatically, it
will leak in most of the user apps. To fix this problem, we introduce
AVCodecContext->metadata and link avctx->metadata to the current
frame->metadata and free it at each decode frame call (and in the codec
closing callback for the last one). But doing this also means to update
the way the tiff decoder already handles the AVFrame->metadata (it's the
only one decoder with frame metadata at the moment), by making sure it
is not trying to free a pointer already freed by the lavc internals.
The lavfi/avcodec.c buffer ref code is based on an old Thomas Kühnel
work, the rest of the code belongs to the commit author.

Previously the device was returning EOF when the first sink was ending,
with the current change the device will continue to return frames until
all the sinks are EOF, which seems the most expected behavior.
WINBOOL is MinGW-specific, and since both MSVC and MinGW
have BOOL, use that instead.
