Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
The original flags variable contains rtpdec flags, while the
rmflags variable contains RM flag bits which have a completely
different definition.

Many of these functions were named foo_free_context, and since
the functions no longer should free the context itself, only
allocated elements within it, the previous naming was slightly
misleading.

This is different from how it is handled in codecs/demuxers/muxers
though (where the close function isn't called if the open function
failed), but since the number of depacketizers that have an .init
function is quite limited, this is easy to change.
The main point is that if the init function failed, we shouldn't
try to use that depacketizer at all - this makes sure that the
parse function doesn't need to check for the things that were
initialized in the init function.

This makes it more consistent with depacketizers that don't have any
.free function at all, where the payload context is freed by the
surrounding framework. Always free the context in the surrounding
framework, having the individual depacketizers only free any data
they've specifically allocated themselves.
This is similar to how this works for demuxer/muxers/codecs - a
component shouldn't free the priv_data that the framework has
allocated for it.

When av_reallocp fails, the associated variables that keep track of
the number of elements in the array (and in some cases, the
separate number of allocated elements) need to be reset.
Not all of these might technically be needed, but it's better to
reset them if in doubt, to make sure variables don't end up
conflicting.

Manual replacements are done in this commit.
In many cases, the id is some constant made up number (e.g. 0 for video
and 1 for audio), which is then not used in the demuxer for anything.
Those ids are removed.
In the name of consistency:
get_byte -> avio_r8
get_<type> -> avio_r<type>
get_buffer -> avio_read
get_partial_buffer will be made private later
get_strz is left out becase I want to change it later to return
something useful.

init_put_byte should never be used outside of lavf, since
sizeof(AVIOContext) isn't part of public ABI.

This is used for mapping AVStreams back to their corresponding
RTSPStream. Since d9c0510, the RTSPStream pointer isn't stored in
AVStream->priv_data any longer, breaking this mapping from AVStreams
to RTSPStreams.
Also, we don't need to clear the priv_data in rdt cleanup any longer,
since it isn't set to duplicate pointers.

Do the same change for ff_rdt_parse_packet, too, to keep the interfaces
similar.

used to return packet data, which might update the flags/timestamp to be
used for the next packet data returned by the demuxer. However, that was
separated out into a new function, and the flags/timestamp are thus never
updated within ff_rm_parse_packet() anymore, and thus do not need to be
a pointer.
