This contains encoder wrappers for H264, HEVC, AAC, AC3 and MP3.
This is based on top of an original patch by wm4
<nfxjfg@googlemail.com>. The original patch supported both encoding
and decoding, but this patch only includes encoding.
The patch contains further changes by Paweł Wegner
<pawel.wegner95@gmail.com> (primarily for splitting out the encoding
parts of the original patch) and further cleanup, build compatibility
fixes and tweaks for use with Qualcomm encoders by Martin Storsjö.

After this claim was made in e34e361 kamedo2 did an in-depth ABX
test comparing these encoders:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=111085.0
Result: FFmpeg AAC wasn't as good as libfdk_aac on average.
I know some things have changed since then such as, "use the fast
coder as the default" (fcb681ac) for example, so maybe the situation
is different now.
However, I am unaware of any recent comparison. So without any
substantiation we shouldn't make such a blantant claim.

In order for rate control to correctly allocate bitrate to each temporal
layer, correct temporal layer id has to be set to each frame. This
commit provides the ability to set correct temporal layer id for each
frame.

Previously, the default palette would always be used.
Now, we can accept a custom palette, just like dvdsubdec does.

This commit reuses the configuration options for VP8 that enables
temporal scalability for VP9. It also adds a way to enable three
preset temporal structures (refer to the documentation for more
detail) that can be used in offline encoding.

This attaches the logic of picking the mode of for the next picture to
the output, which simplifies some choices by removing the concept of
the picture for which input is not yet available. At the same time,
we allow more complex reference structures and track more reference
metadata (particularly the contents of the DPB) for use in the
codec-specific code.
It also adds flags to explicitly track the available features of the
different codecs. The new structure also allows open-GOP support, so
that is now available for codecs which can do it.
This commit adds configuration options to libvpxenc.c that can be used to
tune the sharpness parameter for VP8 and VP9.

This commit adds configuration options to libvpxenc.c that can be used to
enable VP8 temporal scalability. It also adds a way to programmatically set the
per-frame encoding flags which can be used to control usage and updates of
reference frames while encoding with temporal scalability enabled.

This adds common code to query driver support and set appropriate
address/size information for each slice. It only supports rectangular
slices for now, since that is the most common use-case.
Sets the level based on the stream properties if it is not explicitly
set by the user. Also add a tier option to set general_tier_flag, since
that affects the level choice.
This was added in libva 2.1.0 (VAAPI 1.1.0). Use AVCodecContext.qmax,
matching the existing behaviour for qmin, and clean up the defaults so
that we only pass min/max when explicitly set.
Query which modes are supported and select between VBR and CBR based
on that - this removes all of the codec-specific rate control mode
selection code.
Previously there was one fixed choice for each codec (e.g. H.265 -> Main
profile), and using anything else then required an explicit option from
the user. This changes to selecting the profile based on the input format
and the set of profiles actually supported by the driver (e.g. P010 input
will choose Main 10 profile for H.265 if the driver supports it).
The entrypoint and render target format are also chosen dynamically in the
same way, removing those explicit selections from the per-codec code.
In a recent commit the default was changed from 0 (component) to 5
(unspecified), however some standards require using 0. With this option, the
user will be able to do so.

The twoloop coder sounds decent at low bitrates, however at higher bitrates
it sounds worse than the fast coder (which used to be the old twoloop coder
before October 2015) and needs quite a lot more CPU.
Change the default to fast. It has been well tested and has had little changes
over the years so its been confirmed to be quite stable.
Also change its description (not valid for more than a year) and the
documentation.

Corpus VBR mode is a variant of standard VBR where the complexity
distribution midpoint is passed in rather than calculated for a specific
clip or chunk.
The valid range is [0, 10000]. 0 (default) uses standard VBR.

Use modern avconv syntax for codec selection in documentation and tests
Merged-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
Use AVCodecContext.compression_level rather than a private option,
replacing the H.264-specific quality option (which stays only for
compatibility).
This now works with the H.265 encoder in the i965 driver, as well as
the existing cases with the H.264 encoder.
