AVFilterLink.srcpic -> AVFilterLink.src_buf
AVFilterLink.cur_pic -> AVFilterLink.cur_buf
AVFilterLink.outpic -> AVFilterLink.out_buf
The new names are more generic and more consistent, since the struct
they contain, which was named AVFilterPicRef, has been renamed to
AVFilterBufferRef.

They have been renamed to allow sharing with audio.
