Not only this is information that relies on the concept of a sequence of
frames, which is completely out of place as a field in AVFrame, but there are
no known or intended uses of this field.

These fields are supposed to store information about the packet the
frame was decoded from, specifically the byte offset it was stored at
and its size.
However,
- the fields are highly ad-hoc - there is no strong reason why
specifically those (and not any other) packet properties should have a
dedicated field in AVFrame; unlike e.g. the timestamps, there is no
fundamental link between coded packet offset/size and decoded frames
- they only make sense for frames produced by decoding demuxed packets,
and even then it is not always the case that the encoded data was
stored in the file as a contiguous sequence of bytes (in order for pos
to be well-defined)
- pkt_pos was added without much explanation, apparently to allow
passthrough of this information through lavfi in order to handle byte
seeking in ffplay. That is now implemented using arbitrary user data
passthrough in AVFrame.opaque_ref.
- several filters use pkt_pos as a variable available to user-supplied
expressions, but there seems to be no established motivation for using them.
- pkt_size was added for use in ffprobe, but that too is now handled
without using this field. Additonally, the values of this field
produced by libavcodec are flawed, as described in the previous
ffprobe conversion commit.
In summary - these fields are ill-defined and insufficiently motivated,
so deprecate them.
Their usefulness is questionable, very few decoders set them, and their type
should have been int64_t. A replacement field can be added later if a valid use
case is found.

The only duration field currently present in AVFrame is pkt_duration,
which is semantically restricted to those frames that are output by
decoders.
Add a new field that stores the frame's duration without regard for how
that frame was produced. Deprecate pkt_duration.
In order to be able to extend this struct later (as the Dolby Vision RPU
evolves), all of the 'container' structs are considered extensible, and
the individual constituent fields must instead be accessed via offsets.
The precedent for this style of access is set in

This patch introduces a new frame side data type AVFilmGrainParams for use
with video codecs which support it.
It can save a lot of memory used for duplicate processed reference frames and
reduce copies when applying film grain during presentation.
This is intended to replace the deprecated the AV_FRAME_DATA_QP_TABLE*
API and extend it to a wider range of codecs.
In the future, it may also be extended to support other encoding
parameters such as motion vectors.

remove_side_data is supposed to remove a single instance by design.
Since new_side_data() doesn't forbid add multiple instances of the
same type, remove_side_data should deal with that.

The encoders such as libx264 support different QPs offset for different MBs,
it makes possible for ROI-based encoding. It makes sense to add support
within ffmpeg to generate/accept ROI infos and pass into encoders.
Typical usage: After AVFrame is decoded, a ffmpeg filter or user's code
generates ROI info for that frame, and the encoder finally does the
ROI-based encoding.
The ROI info is maintained as side data of AVFrame.

Create SMPTE ST 12-1 timecodes based on H.264 SEI picture timing
info.
For framerates > 30 FPS, the field flag is used in conjunction with
pairs of frames which contain the same frame timestamp in S12M.
Ensure the field is properly set per the spec.
This adds a way for an API user to transfer QP data and metadata without
having to keep the reference to AVFrame, and without having to
explicitly care about QP APIs. It might also provide a way to finally
remove the deprecated QP related fields. In the end, the QP table should
be handled in a very similar way to e.g. AV_FRAME_DATA_MOTION_VECTORS.
There are two side data types, because I didn't care about having to
repack the QP data so the table and the metadata are in a single
AVBufferRef. Otherwise it would have either required a copy on decoding
(extra slowdown for something as obscure as the QP data), or would have
required making intrusive changes to the codecs which support export of
this data.
The new side data types are added under deprecation guards, because I
don't intend to change the status of the QP export as being deprecated
(as it was before this patch too).
Everything related to the QP data is deprecated, with qp_table_buf being
an inconsistent exception. Some parts were under the deprecation guards,
some not. It probably didn't even compile.
