During remuxing avcodec_copy_context() is discouraged as certain fields
(such as codec_tag) could reflect invalid values between input and
output contextes.
This comment can be traced back to the initial commit from 2001,
and it seemed to be misleading/incorect already back then. (It
was used for normal, non-raw file formats already then.)

This is the same logic as is invoked on AVFMT_TS_NEGATIVE,
but which can be enabled manually, or can be enabled
in muxers which only need it in certain conditions.
Also allow using the same mechanism to force streams to start
at 0.

This makes the field consistent with AVInputFormat.mime_type and the
argument type of av_match_name.

The only flags, for now, indicate if metadata was updated and are set after each call to
av_read_frame(). This comes with the caveat that, on stream start, it might not be set properly
as packets might be buffered in AVFormatContext.packet_buffer before being given to the user
in av_read_frame().

Previously, AVStream.codec.time_base was used for that purpose, which
was quite confusing for the callers. This change also opens the path for
removing AVStream.codec.
The change in the lavf-mkv test is due to the native timebase (1/1000)
being used instead of the default one (1/90000), so the packets are now
sent to the crc muxer in the same order in which they are demuxed
(previously some of them got reordered because of inexact timestamp
conversion).
Use it instead of checking CODEC_FLAG_BITEXACT in the first stream's
codec context.
Using codec options inside lavf is fragile and can easily break when the
muxing codec context is not the encoding context.
Currently ff_interleave_packet_per_dts() waits until it gets a frame for
each stream before outputting packets in interleaved order.
Sparse streams (i.e. streams with much fewer packets than the other
streams, like subtitles or audio with DTX) tend to add up latency and in
specific cases end up allocating a large amount of memory.
Emit the top packet from the packet_buffer if it has a time delta
larger than a specified threshold.

avconv abuses the API by accessing AVStream.parser (which is private).
Removing AVStream.reference_dts in
2ba68dd044 breaks ABI compatibility for an
old avconv using a newer lavf. Fix this by adding a dummy field until
the next bump.
This is enabled by default and can be disabled with
"-fflags -flush_packets".

This allows creation of frame accurate chapter marks from sources like
DVD and BD where the precise chapter location is not known until the
chapter mark has been reached during reading.

Most formats do not support negative timestamps, shift them to avoid
unexpected behaviour and a number of bad crashes.
