Currently, the new decoding API is pretty much just a wrapper around the
old deprecated one. This is problematic, since it interferes with making
full use of the flexibility added by the new API. The old API should
also be removed at some future point.
Reorganize the code so that the new send_packet/receive_frame functions
call the actual decoding directly and change the old deprecated
avcodec_decode_* functions into wrappers around the new API.
The new internal API for decoders is now changing as well. Before this
commit, it mirrors the public API, so the decoders need to implement
send_packet() and receive_frame() callbacks. This turns out to require
awkward constructs in both the decoders and the generic code. After this
commit, the decoders only implement the receive_frame() callback and
call a new internal function, ff_decode_get_packet() to obtain input
data, in the same manner to how the bitstream filters now work.
avcodec will now always make a reference to the input packet, which means
that non-refcounted input packets will be copied. Keeping the previous
behaviour, where this copy could sometimes be avoided, would make the
code significantly more complex and fragile for only dubious gains,
since packets are typically small and everyone who cares about
performance should use refcounted packets anyway.
The current code stores a pointer to the packet passed to the decoder,
which is then used during get_buffer() for timestamps and side data
passthrough. However, since this is a pointer to user data which we do
not own, storing it is potentially dangerous. It is also ill defined for
the new decoding API with split input/output.
Fix this problem by making an explicit internally owned copy of the
packet properties.
Until now, the decoding API was restricted to outputting 0 or 1 frames
per input packet. It also enforces a somewhat rigid dataflow in general.
This new API seeks to relax these restrictions by decoupling input and
output. Instead of doing a single call on each decode step, which may
consume the packet and may produce output, the new API requires the user
to send input first, and then ask for output.
For now, there are no codecs supporting this API. The API can work with
codecs using the old API, and most code added here is to make them
interoperate. The reverse is not possible, although for audio it might.

The generic code in utils.c sets the AVFrame.pkt_dts field from the
packet it was supposedly decoded. This does not have to be true for a
fully asynchronous decoder like mmaldec. It could be overwritten with an
incorrect value. Even if the decoder doesn't determine the DTS (but sets
it to AV_NOPTS_VALUE), it's impossible to determine a correct value in
utils.c.
Decoders can now be marked with FF_CODEC_CAP_SETS_PKT_DTS, in which case
utils.c won't overwrite the field. The decoders are expected to set this
field (even if they only set it to AV_NOPTS_VALUE).

They are used by dnxhd and mpegvideo_enc exclusively, move them to codec
private options instead.

This field is designed for marking codec properties useful to lavc internals.
Two internal capabilities are added:
- FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE: codec can be opened without locks;
- FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_CLEANUP: codec frees memory if initialization fails.
Use only proper AVFrame API (no assigning of whole frames, since that
hardcodes sizeof(AVFrame) into lavc).
Make a copy of the side data, so the caller can use av_frame_unref/free
on non-refcounted frames, eliminating the need for
avcodec_get_frame_defaults()/avcodec_free_frame().
Also move the declaration to internal.h, and add restrict qualifiers
to the declaration (as in the implementation).

This is the most that can be represented with the current channel layout
system. This limit should be raised/removed when a better system is
implemented.
This allows audio encoders to optionally take an AVFrame as input and write
encoded output to an AVPacket.
This also adds AVCodec.encode2() which will also be usable by video and
subtitle encoders once support is implemented in the public functions.
This was intended as an optimisation for skipped blocks in MPEG2
P-frames and never used elsewhere. Removing this "optimisation"
speeds up MPEG2 decoding by 1-2% (ARM Cortex-A9).

A new field, AVCodecContext.internal is used to hold a new struct
AVCodecInternal, which has private fields that are not codec-specific and are
used by general libavcodec functions.
Moved internal_buffer, internal_buffer_count, and is_copy.
This extends the lock manager in avcodec to manage two separate
mutexes via the user-specified lock functions.
