Currently uncoded frames (i.e. packets whose data actually points to an AVFrame) are not refcounted. As a consequence, calling av_packet_unref() on them will not free them, but may simply make sure that they leak by losing the pointer to the frame. This commit changes this by actually making uncoded frames refcounted. In order not to rely on sizeof(AVFrame) (which is not part of the public API and so must not be used here in libavformat) the packet's data is changed to a (padded) buffer containing just a pointer to an AVFrame. Said buffer is owned by an AVBuffer with a custom free function that frees the frame as well as the buffer. Thereby the pointer/the AVBuffer owns the AVFrame. Said ownership can actually be transferred by copying and resetting the pointer, as might happen when actually writing the uncoded frames in AVOutputFormat.write_uncoded_frame() (although currently no muxer makes use of this possibility). This makes packets containing uncoded frames compatible with av_packet_unref(). This already has three advantages in interleaved mode: 1. If an error happens at the preparatory steps (before the packet is put into the interleavement queue), the frame is properly freed. 2. If the trailer is never written, the frames still in the interleavement queue will now be properly freed by ff_packet_list_free(). 3. The custom code for moving the packet to the packet list in ff_interleave_add_packet() can be removed. It will also simplify fixing further memleaks in future commits.
