The old "API" that signaled rotation as a metadata value has been
replaced by DISPLAYMATRIX side data quite a while ago.
There is no reason to make muxers/demuxers/API users support both. In
addition, the metadata API is dangerous, as user tags could "leak" into
it, creating unintended features or bugs.
ffmpeg CLI has to be updated to use the new API. In particular, we must
not allow to leak the "rotate" tag into the muxer. Some muxers will
catch this properly (like mov), but others (like mkv) can add it as
generic tag. Note applications, which use libavformat and assume the
old rotate API, will interpret such "rotate" user tags as rotate
metadata (which it is not), and incorrectly rotate the video.
The ffmpeg/ffplay tools drop the use of the old API for muxing and
demuxing, as all muxers/demuxers support the new API. This will mean
that the tools will not mistakenly interpret per-track "rotate" user
tags as rotate metadata. It will _not_ be treated as regression.
Unfortunately, hacks have been added, that allow the user to override
rotation by setting metadata explicitly, e.g. via
-metadata:s:v:0 rotate=0
See references to trac #4560. fate-filter-meta-4560-rotate0 tests this.
It's easier to adjust the hack for supporting it than arguing for its
removal, so ffmpeg CLI now explicitly catches this case, and essentially
replaces the "rotate" value with a display matrix side data. (It would
be easier for both user and implementation to create an explicit option
for rotation.)
When the code under FF_API_OLD_ROTATE_API is disabled, one FATE
reference file has to be updated (because "rotate" is not exported
anymore).

If a subtitle packet came before the first video frame could be fully
decoded, the subtitle packet would get discarded. This puts the subtitle
into a queue instead, and processes it once the attached filter graph is
initialized.
Be more careful when an input stream encounters EOF when its filtergraph
has not been configured yet. The current code would immediately mark the
corresponding output streams as finished, while there may still be
buffered frames waiting for frames to appear on other filtergraph
inputs.
This should fix the random FATE failures for complex filtergraph tests

This makes sure the actual stream parameters are used, which is
important mainly for hardware decoding+filtering cases, which would
previously require various weird workarounds to handle the fact that a
fake software graph has to be constructed, but never used.
This should also improve behaviour in rare cases where
avformat_find_stream_info() does not provide accurate information.
This merges Libav commit a3a0230. It was previously skipped.
The code in flush_encoders() which sets up a "fake" format wasn't in
Libav. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it tends to give
behavior closer to the old one in certain corner cases.
The vp8-size-change gives different result, because now the size of
the first frame is used. libavformat reported the size of the largest
frame for some reason.
The exr tests now use the sample aspect ratio of the first frame. For
some reason libavformat determines 0/1 as aspect ratio, while the
decoder returns the correct one.
The ffm and mxf tests change the field_order values. I'm assuming
another libavformat/decoding mismatch.

This will be useful in the following commit, after which the muxer
timebase is not always available when encoding.
This merges Libav commit 3e265ca. It was previously skipped.
There are some changes with how/when the mux_timebase field is set,
because the Libav approach often causes a too imprecise time base
to be set. This is hard, because the muxer's write_header function
can readjust the timebase, at which point we might already have
encoded packets buffered. (It might be better to buffer them after
the encoder, instead of after all the timestamp handling logic
before muxing.)
The two FATE tests change because the output time base is raised
for subtitles. (Needed to avoid certain rounding issues in other
cases.)

Some callers (like do_subtitle_out()) call this with an AVPacket that is
not refcounted. This can cause undefined behavior.
Calling av_packet_move_ref() does not make a packet refcounted if it
isn't yet. (And it can't be made to, because it always succeeds,
and can't return ENOMEM.)
Call av_packet_ref() instead to make sure it's refcounted.
I couldn't find a case that is fixed by this with the current code. But
it will fix the fate-pva-demux test with the later patches applied.

Decoders have previously not used AVFrame.pts, and with the upcoming
deprecation of pkt_pts (in favor of pts), this would lead to an errorneous
interpration of timestamps.
This is a bit messy, mainly due to timestamp handling.
decode_video() relied on the fact that it could set dts on a flush/drain
packet. This is not possible with the old API, and won't be. (I think
doing this was very questionable with the old API. Flush packets should
not contain any information; they just cause a FIFO to be emptied.) This
is replaced with checking the best_effort_timestamp for AV_NOPTS_VALUE,
and using the suggested DTS in the drain case.
The modified tests (fate-cavs and others) still fails due to dropping
the last frame. This happens because the timestamp of the last frame
goes backwards (ffprobe -show_frames shows the same thing). I suspect
that this "worked" due to the best effort timestamp logic picking the
DTS over the decreasing PTS. Since this logic is in libavcodec (where
it probably shouldn't be), this can't be easily fixed. The timestamps
of the cavs samples are weird anyway, so I chose not to fix it.
Another strange thing is the timestamp handling in the video path of
process_input_packet (after the decode_video() call). It looks like
the code to increase next_dts and next_pts should be run every time
a frame is decoded - but it's needed even if output is skipped.
With the new decode API, doing this in ffmpeg.c is impractical. There
was resistance against removing the warning, so put it into libavcodec.
Not bothering with reducing the warning to verbose log level for
subsequent wanrings. The warning should be rare, and only happen when
developing new codecs for the old API.
Includes a change suggested by Michael Niedermayer.
