This commit does for AVInputFormat what commit
59c9dc82f4 did for AVOutputFormat:
It adds a new type FFInputFormat, moves all the internals
of AVInputFormat to it and adds a now reduced AVInputFormat
as first member.
This does not affect/improve extensibility of both public
or private fields for demuxers (it is still a mess due to lavd).
This is possible since 50f34172e0
(which removed the last usage of an internal field of AVInputFormat
in fftools).
(Hint: tools/probetest.c accesses the internals of FFInputFormat
as well, but given that it is a testing tool this is not considered
a problem.)

Makes it robust against adding fields before it, which will be useful in
following commits.
Majority of the patch generated by the following Coccinelle script:
@@
typedef AVOption;
identifier arr_name;
initializer list il;
initializer list[8] il1;
expression tail;
@@
AVOption arr_name[] = { il, { il1,
- tail
+ .unit = tail
}, ... };
with some manual changes, as the script:
* has trouble with options defined inside macros
* sometimes does not handle options under an #else branch
* sometimes swallows whitespace
Unnecessary since acf63d5350adeae551d412db699f8ca03f7e76b9;
also avoids relocations.

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.
