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.

PSEUDOPAL pixel formats are not paletted, but carried a palette with the
intention of allowing code to treat unpaletted formats as paletted. The
palette simply mapped the byte values to the resulting RGB values,
making it some sort of LUT for RGB conversion.
It was used for 1 byte formats only: RGB4_BYTE, BGR4_BYTE, RGB8, BGR8,
GRAY8. The first 4 are awfully obscure, used only by some ancient bitmap
formats. The last one, GRAY8, is more common, but its treatment is
grossly incorrect. It considers full range GRAY8 only, so GRAY8 coming
from typical Y video planes was not mapped to the correct RGB values.
This cannot be fixed, because AVFrame.color_range can be freely changed
at runtime, and there is nothing to ensure the pseudo palette is
updated.
Also, nothing actually used the PSEUDOPAL palette data, except xwdenc
(trivially changed in the previous commit). All other code had to treat
it as a special case, just to ignore or to propagate palette data.
In conclusion, this was just a very strange old mechnaism that has no
real justification to exist anymore (although it may have been nice and
useful in the past). Now it's an artifact that makes the API harder to
use: API users who allocate their own pixel data have to be aware that
they need to allocate the palette, or FFmpeg will crash on them in
_some_ situations. On top of this, there was no API to allocate the
pseuo palette outside of av_frame_get_buffer().
This patch not only deprecates AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL, but also makes
the pseudo palette optional. Nothing accesses it anymore, though if it's
set, it's propagated. It's still allocated and initialized for
compatibility with API users that rely on this feature. But new API
users do not need to allocate it. This was an explicit goal of this
patch.
Most changes replace AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL with FF_PSEUDOPAL. I
first tried #ifdefing all code, but it was a mess. The FF_PSEUDOPAL
macro reduces the mess, and still allows defining FF_API_PSEUDOPAL to 0.
Passes FATE with FF_API_PSEUDOPAL enabled and disabled. In addition,
FATE passes with FF_API_PSEUDOPAL set to 1, but with allocation
functions manually changed to not allocating a palette.
