These functions are not faster than other mmx implementations on
any hardware I have been able to test on, and they are horribly
inaccurate. There is thus no reason to ever use them.

Its documentation states that it is allocated/freed by the caller, but
it is declared as an AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING AVOption. Since
367732832f the AVOptions system frees
strings automatically. This can be considered an API break, since it
won't work when the caller doesn't use av_malloc() to allocate the
memory or wants to use the string after closing the codec.
Since there is not much value in this field being an AVOption, the best
solution is to remove it from the options table.
In most places where it's used, it's as a pointless write-only field.
Only rv10 decoder actually reads from it, but it stores some internal
version info in it. There is no reason for it to be in a public field.
This way, if the AVCodecContext is allocated for a specific codec, the
caller doesn't need to store this codec separately and then pass it
again to avcodec_open2().
It also allows to set codec private options using av_opt_set_* before
opening the codec.
It allows to check whether an AVCodecContext is open in a documented
way. Right now the undocumented way this check is done in lavf/lavc is
by checking whether AVCodecContext.codec is NULL. However it's desirable
to be able to set AVCodecContext.codec before avcodec_open2().
Using threaded decoding by default breaks backward compatibility if
AVHWAccel is used or if an appliction sets threadunsafe callbacks.
Avconv and avplay still use -threads auto if not specified.
Adds a new member to MpegEncContext to hold the number of used slice
contexts. Fixes segfaults with '-threads 17 -thread_type slice' and
fate-vsynth{1,2}-mpeg{2,4}thread{,_ilace} with --disable-pthreads.
A new field, AVCodecContext.internal is used to hold a new struct
AVCodecInternal, which has private fields that are not codec-specific and are
used by general libavcodec functions.
Moved internal_buffer, internal_buffer_count, and is_copy.
libavcodec/options.c:583: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer
target type
libavcodec/options.c:589: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from
pointer target type
This allows it to use the defaults specified by preset/tune,
without overwriting it with the default value from the
AVCodecContext field.
