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.
It reduces typing: Before this patch, there were 105 codecs
whose long_name-definition exceeded the 80 char line length
limit. Now there are only nine of them.

The general decoding API uses bitstream filters and an AVFifo
and therefore AVCodecInternal contains pointers to an AVBSFContext
and to an AVFifo and lavc/internal.h includes lavc/bsf.h and
lavu/fifo.h.
Yet actually, only two files are supposed to use these, namely
avcodec.c and (mainly) decode.c. For all the other files,
it should be an opaque type that they should not touch and that
they need not know anything about. This can be achieved by not
including these headers and using the structs instead of the
corresponding typedefs.
This also forces translation units that really use the BSF
and the FIFO APIs themselves to include the relevant headers
directly instead of relying on indirect inclusions (up until now,
even avcodec.c and decode.c relied on fifo.h to be included
by internal.h).
Of course, it also avoids unnecessary rebuilds when bsf.h or fifo.h
change.

This is possible, because every given FFCodec has to implement
exactly one of these. Doing so decreases sizeof(FFCodec) and
therefore decreases the size of the binary.
Notice that in case of position-independent code the decrease
is in .data.rel.ro, so that this translates to decreased
memory consumption.

Up until now, codec.h contains both public and private parts
of AVCodec. This exposes the internals of AVCodec to users
and leads them into the temptation of actually using them
and forces us to forward-declare structures and types that
users can't use at all.
This commit changes this by adding a new structure FFCodec to
codec_internal.h that extends AVCodec, i.e. contains the public
AVCodec as first member; the private fields of AVCodec are moved
to this structure, leaving codec.h clean.

Also move FF_CODEC_TAGS_END as well as struct AVCodecDefault.
This reduces the amount of files that have to include internal.h
(which comes with quite a lot of indirect inclusions), as e.g.
most encoders don't need it. It is furthemore in preparation
for moving the private part of AVCodec out of the public codec.h.

Fixes#9283
This fixes setting of 'key_frame' flag in AVFrame when input h264 packets represents individual fields of interlaced video.
In this case, pairs of two consecutive fields represents a single decoded picture and have identical 'CurrPicIdx', however, only
the first field is entirely intra-coded and has the flag 'intra_pic_flag' set and the second field was resetting the flag before
it was even read in the function 'cuvid_output_frame'.

Given that the AVCodec.next pointer has now been removed, most of the
AVCodecs are not modified at all any more and can therefore be made
const (as this patch does); the only exceptions are the very few codecs
for external libraries that have a init_static_data callback.

There are 2 types of problems when using adaptive deinterlace with cuvid:
1. Sometimes, in the middle of transcoding, cuvid outputs frames with visible horizontal lines (as though weave deinterlace method was chosen);
2. Occasionally, on scene changes, cuvid outputs a wrong frame, which should have been shown several seconds before (as if the frame was assigned some wrong PTS value).
The reason is that sometimes CUVIDPARSERDISPINFO has property progressive_frame equal to 1 with interlaced videos.
In order to fix the problem we should check if the video is interlaced or progressive in the beginning of a video sequence (cuvid_handle_video_sequence).
And then we just use this information instead of the property progressive_frame in CUVIDPARSERDISPINFO (which is unreliable).

We're also doing a sync here after copying the frame to be passed
on down the pipleine. And it is also unnecessary.
I was able to demonstrate a 33% speedup removing the sync from
an example transcode pipeline.
This is the equivalent change for cuviddec after the previous change
for nvdec. I made similar changes to the copying routines to handle
pixel formats in a more generic way.
Note that unlike with nvdec, there is no confusion about the ability
of a codec to output 444 formats. This is because the cuvid parser is
used, meaning that 444 JPEG content is still indicated as using a 420
output format.
We have a pattern of wrapping CUDA calls to print errors and
normalise return values that is used in a couple of places. To
avoid duplication and increase consistency, let's put the wrapper
implementation in a shared place and use it everywhere.
Affects:
* avcodec/cuviddec
* avcodec/nvdec
* avcodec/nvenc
* avfilter/vf_scale_cuda
* avfilter/vf_scale_npp
* avfilter/vf_thumbnail_cuda
* avfilter/vf_transpose_npp
* avfilter/vf_yadif_cuda
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.
Based on a patch by Philip Langdale <philipl@overt.org>.
Merges Libav commit 47687a2f8a.
This removes the dependency that hardware pixel formats previously had on
AVHWAccel instances, meaning only those which actually do something need
exist after this patch.
Also updates avcodec_default_get_format() to be able to choose hardware
formats if either a matching device has been supplied or no additional
external configuration is required, and avcodec_get_hw_frames_parameters()
to use the hardware config rather than searching the old hwaccel list.
The FF_CODEC_CAP_HWACCEL_REQUIRE_CLASS mechanism is deleted because it
no longer does anything (the codec already contains the pointers to the
matching hwaccels).
This includes a pointer to the associated hwaccel for decoders using
hwaccels - these will be used later to implement the hwaccel setup
without needing a global list.
Also added is a new file listing all hwaccels as external declarations -
this will be used later to generate the hwaccel list at configure time.
Currently, AVHWAccels are looked up using a (codec_id, pixfmt) tuple.
This means it's impossible to have 2 decoders for the same codec and
using the same opaque hardware pixel format.
This breaks merging Libav's CUVID hwaccel. FFmpeg has its own CUVID
support, but it's a full stream decoder, using NVIDIA's codec parser.
The Libav one is a true hwaccel, which is based on the builtin software
decoders.
Fix this by introducing another field to disambiguate AVHWAccels, and
use it for our CUVID decoders. FF_CODEC_CAP_HWACCEL_REQUIRE_CLASS makes
this mechanism backwards compatible and optional.
cuvid.c is used by Libav's CUVID hwaccel. Resolve the conflict and
avoid future merge problems by renaming our decoder.
