The new lowres support is limited to decoders where lowres decoding
is possible in high quality.
I was not able to measure any speed difference, but if one is found
the 2-3 lines that might affect speed can be made compile time conditional

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.

This allows it to use the defaults specified by preset/tune,
without overwriting it with the default value from the
AVCodecContext field.

This function used to set codec_type. With the current fallback
implementation based on avcodec_get_context_defaults3, codec_type
won't be set to the value passed in, but will be set to
AVMEDIA_TYPE_UNKNOWN. Legacy callers of this function might expect
this field to be set to the value passed in.
