This allows getting rid of the many, slightly differing, implementations
of basically the same thing.

In order to support metadata being set as an option, it's necessary to be able
to set dictionaries as values.

The only flags, for now, indicate if metadata was updated and are set after each call to
av_read_frame(). This comes with the caveat that, on stream start, it might not be set properly
as packets might be buffered in AVFormatContext.packet_buffer before being given to the user
in av_read_frame().

It's a public function and should use the avio_ namespace

It allows attaching other external, opaque data to the frame and passing it
through the reordering process, for cases when the caller wants other data
than just the plain packet pts. There is no way to cleanly achieve this
without the field.
The rationale is that you have a packed format in form
<greyscale sample> <alpha sample> <greyscale sample> <alpha sample>
and shortening greyscale to 'G' might make one thing about Greenscale instead.
An alias pixel format and color space name are provided for compatibility.
This provides a public sustainable API/ABI for DCT functions.
Only externally used dct functions are included.
The structure is extensible without ABI issues compared to the
existing dct contexts.

The AVStream.parser field is considered private and its location cannot be
preserved while preserving also ABI compatibility to libav, as libav added fields
before it.
Some tools like ffmpeg.c access this field though

Previously, AVStream.codec.time_base was used for that purpose, which
was quite confusing for the callers. This change also opens the path for
removing AVStream.codec.
The change in the lavf-mkv test is due to the native timebase (1/1000)
being used instead of the default one (1/90000), so the packets are now
sent to the crc muxer in the same order in which they are demuxed
(previously some of them got reordered because of inexact timestamp
conversion).
Some encoders (e.g. flac) need to send side data when there is no more
data to be output. This enables them to output a packet with no data in
it, only side data.
