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.
This avoids unnecessary rebuilds of most source files if only the
list of enabled components has changed, but not the other properties
of the build, set in config.h.

If one looks at the many query_formats callbacks in existence,
one will immediately recognize that there is one type of default
callback for video and a slightly different default callback for
audio: It is "return ff_set_common_formats_from_list(ctx, pix_fmts);"
for video with a filter-specific pix_fmts list. For audio, it is
the same with a filter-specific sample_fmts list together with
ff_set_common_all_samplerates() and ff_set_common_all_channel_counts().
This commit allows to remove the boilerplate query_formats callbacks
by replacing said callback with a union consisting the old callback
and pointers for pixel and sample format arrays. For the not uncommon
case in which these lists only contain a single entry (besides the
sentinel) enum AVPixelFormat and enum AVSampleFormat fields are also
added to the union to store them directly in the AVFilter,
thereby avoiding a relocation.
The state of said union will be contained in a new, dedicated AVFilter
field (the nb_inputs and nb_outputs fields have been shrunk to uint8_t
in order to create a hole for this new field; this is no problem, as
the maximum of all the nb_inputs is four; for nb_outputs it is only
two).
The state's default value coincides with the earlier default of
query_formats being unset, namely that the filter accepts all formats
(and also sample rates and channel counts/layouts for audio)
provided that these properties agree coincide for all inputs and
outputs.
By using different union members for audio and video filters
the type-unsafety of using the same functions for audio and video
lists will furthermore be more confined to formats.c than before.
When the new fields are used, they will also avoid allocations:
Currently something nearly equivalent to ff_default_query_formats()
is called after every successful call to a query_formats callback;
yet in the common case that the newly allocated AVFilterFormats
are not used at all (namely if there are no free links) these newly
allocated AVFilterFormats are freed again without ever being used.
Filters no longer using the callback will not exhibit this any more.

Up until now, an AVFilter's lists of input and output AVFilterPads
were terminated by a sentinel and the only way to get the length
of these lists was by using avfilter_pad_count(). This has two
drawbacks: first, sizeof(AVFilterPad) is not negligible
(i.e. 64B on 64bit systems); second, getting the size involves
a function call instead of just reading the data.
This commit therefore changes this. The sentinels are removed and new
private fields nb_inputs and nb_outputs are added to AVFilter that
contain the number of elements of the respective AVFilterPad array.
Given that AVFilter.(in|out)puts are the only arrays of zero-terminated
AVFilterPads an API user has access to (AVFilterContext.(in|out)put_pads
are not zero-terminated and they already have a size field) the argument
to avfilter_pad_count() is always one of these lists, so it just has to
find the filter the list belongs to and read said number. This is slower
than before, but a replacement function that just reads the internal numbers
that users are expected to switch to will be added soon; and furthermore,
avfilter_pad_count() is probably never called in hot loops anyway.
This saves about 49KiB from the binary; notice that these sentinels are
not in .bss despite being zeroed: they are in .data.rel.ro due to the
non-sentinels.

Several combinations of functions happen quite often in query_format
functions; e.g. ff_set_common_formats(ctx, ff_make_format_list(sample_fmts))
is very common. This commit therefore adds functions that are equivalent
to commonly used function combinations in order to reduce code
duplication.

At the moment scene change detection score uses all planes to detect scene
changes. In this regard this is similar how the frozen frames detection works.
However, in classic encoding scene change detection typically only uses the Y
plane.
We might get more resonable scores for scene change if we also use only
the Y plane for calculating the score if the pixel format is YUV. Although
this will require additional work once packed YUV formats are added,
because for the moment the generic scene sad score calculation has no way
to ignore some components in a packed format.

AVFilterLink.frame_count is supposed to count the number of frames
that were passed on the link, but with min_samples, that number is
not always the same for the source and destination filters.
With the addition of a FIFO on the link, the difference will become
more significant.
Split the variable in two: frame_count_in counts the number of
frames that entered the link, frame_count_out counts the number
of frames that were sent to the destination filter.
This option can be used to select useful frames from an ffconcat file which is
using inpoints and outpoints but where the source files are not intra frame
only.

Set select->select internally to the function, avoid lossy double->int
conversion causing spurious frame drop (e.g. in case the evaluation
result is positive and less than 1).
