libavutil/color_utils contains some avpriv_ symbols that map
enum AVTransferCharacteristic values to gamma-curve approximations and
to the actual transfer functions to invert them (i.e. -> linear).
There's two issues with this:
(1) avpriv is evil and should be avoided whenever possible
(2) libavutil/csp.h exposes a public API for handling color that
already handles primaries and matricies
I don't see any reason this API has to be private, so this commit takes
the functionality from avutil/color_utils and merges it into avutil/csp
with an exposed av_ API rather than the previous avpriv_ API.
Every reference to the previous API has been updated to point to the
new one. color_utils.h has been deleted as well. This should not break
any applications as it only contained avpriv_ symbols in the first
place, so nothing in that header could be referenced by other
applications.

Analogous to -enc_stats*, but happens right before muxing. Useful
because bitstream filters and the sync queue can modify packets after
encoding and before muxing. Also has access to the muxing timebase.
Current HLS implementation simply skip a failed segment to catch up
the stream, but this is not optimal for some use cases like livestream
recording.
Add an option to retry a failed segment to ensure the output file is
a complete stream.

Splits the currently handled subtitle at random access point
packets that can be configured to follow a specific output stream.
Currently only subtitle streams which are directly mapped into the
same output in which the heartbeat stream resides are affected.
This way the subtitle - which is known to be shown at this time
can be split and passed to muxer before its full duration is
yet known. This is also a drawback, as this essentially outputs
multiple subtitles from a single input subtitle that continues
over multiple random access points. Thus this feature should not
be utilized in cases where subtitle output latency does not matter.

This is intended to be a more convenient replacement for
reordered_opaque.
Add support for it in the two encoders that offer
AV_CODEC_CAP_ENCODER_REORDERED_OPAQUE: libx264 and libx265. Other
encoders will be supported in future commits.
This reverts commit dea673d0d5.
This change cannot work for several reasons, the most obvious ones are:
- the alpha is being part of the scoring of the color difference, even
though we can not interpret the alpha as part of the perception of the
color (we don't even know if it's premultiplied or postmultiplied)
- the colors are averaged with their alpha value which simply cannot
work
The command proposed in the original thread of the patch actually
produces a completely broken file:
ffmpeg -y -loglevel verbose -i fate-suite/apng/o_sample.png -filter_complex "split[split1][split2];[split1]palettegen=max_colors=254:use_alpha=1[pal1];[split2][pal1]paletteuse=use_alpha=1" -frames:v 1 out.png
We can see that many color pixels are off, but more importantly some
colors have a random alpha value: https://imgur.com/eFQ2UK7
I don't see any easy fix for this unfortunately, the approach appears to
be flawed by design.
New option can be used to avoid creating very short segments with inputs
whose GOP size is variable or unharmonic with segment_time.
Only effective with segment_time.
We shouldn't be providing links to unverified and non-FFmpeg-controlled
content in our documentation.

We do not endorse or recommend specific third party servers or companies
that users' data will be funneled through.
It is also incorrectly describing how FFmpeg currently works.

Bring it up to date with current practice, as the current text does not
cover everything. Drop the reference to unprefixed exported symbols,
which do not exist anymore.
It describes a general development policy, not code formatting. It is
also not true, as these days we tend to prioritize correctness, safety,
and completeness over code size.
It is currently very out of touch with reality.
* declare we are using C99 fully, rather than C90 plus extensions
* mention our use of stdatomic.h
* mention forbidden C99 features, like VLAs and complex numbers
VP6 alpha in EA format is a second VP6 encoded video stream where only the Y
component is used and is interpreted as the alpha channel of the first VP6
stream. The alpha VP6 stream is muxed separately from the main VP6 stream, has
its own stream headers and packet headers. In theory the two streams might not
even have the same resolution (although most likely that is not something that
is seen or supported in the wild), but the format is capable of doing it.
Merged VP6 alpha (also known as the VP6A codec) means that a packet of the
video stream contains the corresponding packet of both VP6 substreams like
this:
{OffsetOfAlpha, DataPacket, AlphaDataPacket}
So data and alpha data of a frame is merged to a single packet, this is how VP6
video with alpha is muxed in FLV and SWF.
The first approach is more like how the demuxer sees data in the EA format,
unfortunately it is different to what the FLV or SWF format expects, so -
having no better place for it in the framework - I decided to do an optional
format conversion in the EA demuxer.

Add qsv_transcode example which shows how to use qsv to do hardware
accelerated transcoding, also show how to dynamically set encoding
parameters.
examples:
Normal usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 h264_qsv output.mp4 "g 60"
Dynamic setting usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 hevc_qsv output.mp4 "g 60 asyne_depth 1"
100 "g 120"
This command initializes codec with gop_size 60 and change it to
120 after 100 frames

As a result of a typo in the source code, this option was completely
non-functional. In order to fix it, without breaking the current default
behavior, explicitly change this default to 0.
This behavior is also consistent with how other scale filters behave by
default, so it's probably best to enshrine it anyways.
Drop the reference to directly committing code, because
- it is highly discouraged and very rarely done these days
- there is no good reason NOT to submit patches for review
Add a link to the development policy chapter.
Add skip_frame support to qsvenc. Use per-frame metadata
"qsv_skip_frame" to control it. skip_frame option defines the behavior
of qsv_skip_frame.
no_skip: Frame skipping is disabled.
insert_dummy: Encoder inserts into bitstream frame where all macroblocks
are encoded as skipped.
insert_nothing: Similar to insert_dummy, but encoder inserts nothing.
The skipped frames are still used in brc. For example, gop still include
skipped frames, and the frames after skipped frames will be larger in
size.
brc_only: skip_frame metadata indicates the number of missed frames
before the current frame.

There are sill many users of these APIs within libav*, so this commit
introduced too many deprecation warnings, making compilation too noisy and
potentially hiding legit warnings.
Once the remaining users are ported, this can be reapplied.
This reverts commit 76d0038579.
This is a more explicit iteration API rather than using the "magic"
av_dict_get(d, "", t, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX) which is not really
trivial to grasp what it does when casually reading through code.
