Refcount all of the context information. This also fixes a potential
segmentation fault when accessing freed memory (buffer returned after
the codec has been closed).

This is pretty much a requirement for any codec that handles modern
codecs like h264, but it was missing. Potentially could lead to issues
like missing frames at the end of a stream.

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.

Merges Libav commit 47687a2f8a.
This patchset enhances Alexis Ballier's original patch and validates
it using Qualcomm's Venus hardware (driver recently landed upstream
[1]).
This has been tested on Qualcomm's DragonBoard 410c and 820c
Configure/make scripts have been validated on Ubuntu 10.04 and
16.04.
Tested decoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
- vp8
- vp9
- hevc
Tested encoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
Tested transcoding (concurrent encoding/decoding)
Some of the changes introduced:
- v4l2: code cleanup and abstractions added
- v4l2: follow the new encode/decode api.
- v4l2: fix display size for NV12 output pool.
- v4l2: handle EOS (EPIPE and draining)
- v4l2: vp8 and mpeg4 decoding and encoding.
- v4l2: hevc and vp9 support.
- v4l2: generate EOF on dequeue errors.
- v4l2: h264_mp4toannexb filtering.
- v4l2: fixed make install and fate issues.
- v4l2: codecs enabled/disabled depending on pixfmt defined
- v4l2: pass timebase/framerate to the context
- v4l2: runtime decoder reconfiguration.
- v4l2: add more frame information
- v4l2: free hardware resources on last reference being released
- v4l2: encoding: disable b-frames for upstreaming (patch required)
