The seek function can just return an error if seeking is unavailable,
but often this is too late. Add a flag that signals that the stream is
unseekable, and use it in HLS.
It was sort of optional before - if you didn't call it, networking was
initialized on demand, and an ugly warning was logged. Also, the doxygen
comments threatened that it would be made strictly required one day.
Make it explicitly optional. I would prefer to deprecate it fully, but
there might still be legitimate reasons to use this. But the average
user won't need it.
This is needed only for two reasons: to initialize TLS libraries like
OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and winsock.
OpenSSL and GnuTLS were already silently initialized on demand if the
global network init function was not called. They also have various
thread-safety acrobatics, which make concurrent initialization within
libavformat safe. In addition, the libraries are moving towards making
their global init functions safe, which removes all need for central
global init. In particular, GnuTLS 3.5.16 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g have been
found to have safe init functions. In all cases, they use internal
reference counters to avoid that the global uninit functions interfere
with concurrent uses of the library by other API users who called global
init.
winsock should be thread-safe as well, and maintains an internal
reference counter as well.
Since we still support ancient TLS libraries, which do not have this
fixed, and since it's unknown whether winsock and GnuTLS
reinitialization is costly in any way, don't deprecate the libavformat
functions yet.
Every bitstream filter behaves as intended now, so there's no need to
wait for the first packet of every stream.

This patch deprecates anything that has to do with merging/splitting
side data. Automatic side data merging (and splitting), as well as all
API symbols involved in it, are removed completely.
Two FF_API_ defines are dedicated to deprecating API symbols related to
this: FF_API_MERGE_SD_API removes av_packet_split/merge_side_data in
libavcodec, and FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG deprecates
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA in libavformat.
Since it was claimed that changing the default from merging side data to
not doing it is an ABI change, there are two additional FF_API_ defines,
which stop using the side data merging/splitting by default (and remove
any code in avformat/avcodec doing this): FF_API_MERGE_SD in libavcodec,
and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD in libavformat.
It is very much intended that FF_API_MERGE_SD and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD
are quickly defined to 0 in the next ABI bump, while the API symbols are
retained for a longer time for the sake of compatibility.
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA will (very much intentionally) do nothing for
most of the time it will still be defined. Keep in mind that no code
exists that actually tries to unset this flag for any reason, nor does
such code need to exist. Code setting this flag explicitly will work as
before. Thus it's ok for AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to do nothing once
side data merging has been removed from libavformat.
In order to avoid that anyone in the future does this incorrectly, here
is a small guide how to update the internal code on bumps:
- next ABI bump (probably soon):
- define FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- next API bump (typically two years in the future or so):
- define FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG to 0, and remove all code covered
by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD_API to 0, and remove all code covered by it
This forces anyone who actually wants packet side data to temporarily
use deprecated API to get it all. If you ask me, this is batshit fucked
up crazy, but it's how we roll. Making AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to be
set by default was rejected as an ABI change, so I'm going all the way
to get rid of this once and for all.

Public fields were added after the private fields (negating the entire
point of this). New private fields go into AVStreamInternal anyway.
The new marker was set by guessing which fields are supposed to be
private and wshich not. recommended_encoder_configuration is accessed by
ffserver_config.c directly, and is supposed to use the public API.
ffmpeg.c accesses AVStream.cur_dts, even though it's a private field,
but that seems to be an older error.
Allow all struct fields to be accessed directly, as long as they're
public.
Before this change, many fields were "public", but could be accessed via
AVOption only. This meant they were effectively not public, but were
present for documentation purposes, which was incredibly confusing at
best.

This allows a consumer to run the muxer's init function without actually
writing the header, which is useful in chained muxers that support
automatic bitstream filtering.
This is mostly useful for muxers that wrap other muxers, such as dashenc
and segment. The actual duplicated bitstream filtering is largely harmless,
but delaying the header can cause problems when the muxer intended the header
to be written to a separate file.
This will be used to allow writing file sequences using the tee output onto
multiple places in parallel

As long as caller only writes packets using av_interleaved_write_frame
with no manual flushing, this should allow us to always have accurate
durations at the end of fragments, since there should be at least
one queued packet in each stream (except for the stream where the
current packet is being written, but if the muxer itself does the
cutting of fragments, it also has info about the next packet for that
stream).

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.
