This "reuses" the flags introduced for the av_vdpau_bind_context() API
function, and makes them available to all hwaccels. This does not affect
the current vdpau API, as av_vdpau_bind_context() should obviously
override the AVCodecContext.hwaccel_flags flags for the sake of
compatibility.

Make it clear that there is no timing-dependent behavior. In particular,
there is no state in which both input and output are denied, and where
you have to wait for a while yourself to make progress (apparently some
hardware decoders like to do this).
Avoid wording that makes references to time. It shouldn't be mistaken
for some kind of asynchronous API (like POSIX read() can return EAGAIN
if there is no new input yet). It's a state machine, so try to use
appropriate terms.

No deprecation guards, because the old decode API (for which this field
is needed) doesn't have any either.
This field should be removed together with the old decode calls.

Certain hardware decoding APIs are not guaranteed to be thread-safe, so
having the user access decoded hardware surfaces while the decoder is
running in another thread can cause failures (this is mainly known to
happen with DXVA2).
For such hwaccels, only allow the decoding thread to run while the user
is inside a lavc decode call (avcodec_send_packet/receive_frame).
Currently, the new decoding API is pretty much just a wrapper around the
old deprecated one. This is problematic, since it interferes with making
full use of the flexibility added by the new API. The old API should
also be removed at some future point.
Reorganize the code so that the new send_packet/receive_frame functions
call the actual decoding directly and change the old deprecated
avcodec_decode_* functions into wrappers around the new API.
The new internal API for decoders is now changing as well. Before this
commit, it mirrors the public API, so the decoders need to implement
send_packet() and receive_frame() callbacks. This turns out to require
awkward constructs in both the decoders and the generic code. After this
commit, the decoders only implement the receive_frame() callback and
call a new internal function, ff_decode_get_packet() to obtain input
data, in the same manner to how the bitstream filters now work.
avcodec will now always make a reference to the input packet, which means
that non-refcounted input packets will be copied. Keeping the previous
behaviour, where this copy could sometimes be avoided, would make the
code significantly more complex and fragile for only dubious gains,
since packets are typically small and everyone who cares about
performance should use refcounted packets anyway.
We cannot deprecate it until the new parser API is in place, because of
the way libavformat works. But the majority of the users can already
simply replace it with avcodec_free_context(), which will simplify the
transition once it is finally deprecated.
This function is supposed to "reset" a codec context to a clean state so
that it can be opened again. The only reason it exists is to allow using
AVStream.codec as a decoding context (after it was already
opened/used/closed by avformat_find_stream_info()). Since that behaviour
is now deprecated, there is no reason for this function to exist
anymore.
Since AVCodecContext contains a lot of complex state, copying a codec
context is not a well-defined operation. The purpose for which it is
typically used (which is well-defined) is copying the stream parameters
from one codec context to another. That is now possible with through the
AVCodecParameters API. Therefore, there is no reason for
avcodec_copy_context() to exist.
Until now, the decoding API was restricted to outputting 0 or 1 frames
per input packet. It also enforces a somewhat rigid dataflow in general.
This new API seeks to relax these restrictions by decoupling input and
output. Instead of doing a single call on each decode step, which may
consume the packet and may produce output, the new API requires the user
to send input first, and then ask for output.
For now, there are no codecs supporting this API. The API can work with
codecs using the old API, and most code added here is to make them
interoperate. The reverse is not possible, although for audio it might.

This API is intended to allow passing around codec parameters without
using full AVCodecContext (which also contains codec options and
encoder/decoder state).
