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.

This is not based on lucas work due to code divergence (its less work this way
than trying to merge from a split based on 2 years outdated code)

The libav code depends on mp3 startcodes only occuring at the start of
frames. But there is nothing in mp3 that prevents them occuring elsewhere
by chance. Thus the code would fail randomly, the new code searches for 3
consecutive valid frames. If this turns out to be still insufficient the
number can be raised further, or additional checks added.

Earlier versions of for instance of libavcodec expect this symbol to be
present in libavutil. This commit can be reverted after the next major
bump.
New shared builds of avcodec will link to the internal copy of the
table within that library, so those builds won't rely on this table
being present in avutil any longer either.

These tables are used for instance by older versions of libavcodec and
need to remain visible until the next SONAME bump.
