This commit shall introduce the first step of adding support for the Daala next generation video codec to FFmpeg. Although still in development, the codec is showing good progress and exchanging work through IETF drafts. The companies behind Daala are also participating in the Alliance for Open Media, so it's likely that whatever the result any of these collaborations produce it's probable that elements from Daala could be used in them, or perhaps this codec itself could be the result.
