wm4 4ed66517c6 lavc: remove complex debug code around avcodec init locking
This is just a lot of complicated and confusing code that had no purpose
anymore.

Also, the functions return values were checked only sometimes. Locking
shouldn't fail anyway, so remove the return values. Barely any other
pthread lock calls check the return value (including more important code
that is more likely to fail horribly if locking fails).

It could be argued that it might be helpful in some debugging
situations, or when the user built FFmpeg without thread support against
all good advice.

But there are dummy atomics too, so the atomic check won't help with
ensuring correctness absolutely. You gain very little.

Also, for debugging, you can just raise the ASSERT_LEVEL, and then
libavutil/thread.h will redefine the locking functions to explicitly
check the return values.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • ffserver is a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation
