Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.

lavc: Drop deprecated options moved to private contexts
Merged-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
Modifying global header extradata in encode_frame is an API violation
and only happens to work currently because mov writes its header
at the end of the file.
Heavily based off of a patch from 2012 by Nicolas George.

This option is only used by mpegvideoenc, and xvid.
It is a very codec-specific option, so deprecate the global variant.

mpegvideo: Make sure mpegutils.h is included where needed
Merged-by: Hendrik Leppkes <h.leppkes@gmail.com>
This option is extremely codec specific and only a few codecs employ it.
Move it to codec private options instead: mpegenc family supports only 3
values, xavs and x264 use 5, and xvid has a different metric entirely.

This parameter can be used to inform the allocation code about how much
downsizing might occur, and can be used to optimize how to allocate the
packet

The stats are a superset of the quality factor, also allowing the picture type and encoder "PSNR" stats to be exported
This also replaces the native by fixed little endian order for the affected side data
AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_FACTOR is left as a synonym of AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_STATS

The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

This is necessary to preserve the quality information currently exported
with coded_frame. Add the new side data to every encoder that needs it,
and use it in avconv.
Signed-off-by: Vittorio Giovara <vittorio.giovara@gmail.com>
Allocating coded_frame is what most encoders do anyway, so it makes
sense to always allocate and free it in a single place. Moreover a lot
of encoders freed the frame with av_freep() instead of the correct API
av_frame_free().
This bring uniformity to encoder behaviour and prevents applications
from erroneusly accessing this field when not allocated. Additionally
this helps isolating encoders that export information with coded_frame,
and heavily simplifies its deprecation.

libxvidcore calculate number of threads basing on video height.
If height is small enough it allocates 0 bytes long memory and
writes to it.
Setting thread_count to 0 uses 1 thread and skips bugged code.
