The reasoning behind this addition is that various third party
applications are interested in getting some motion information out of a
video "for free" when it is available.
It was considered to export other information as well (such as the intra
information about the block, or the quantization) but the structure
might have ended up into a half full-generic, half full of codec
specific cruft. If more information is necessary, it should either be
added in the "flags" field of the AVMotionVector structure, or in
another side-data.
This commit also includes an example exporting them in a CSV stream.
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.
The constant may change in libavutil but the library may be compiled
against an older version, thus rejecting a value which is otherwise
supported by the new libavutil.
INT_MAX is used here to denote the max allowed value for a sample format.
The opt-test code is changed to provide a valid reference example.
XvMC has long ago been superseded by newer acceleration APIs, such as
VDPAU, and few downstreams still support it. Furthermore XvMC is not
implemented within the hwaccel framework, but requires its own specific
code in the MPEG-1/2 decoder, which is a maintenance burden.
This can be optionally disabled whith the "output_corrupt" flags
option. When in "output_corrupt" mode, incomplete frames are
signalled through AVFrame.flags FRAME_FLAG_INCOMPLETE_FRAME.

The flag was and is intended to be a sane default and thus does not enable
time consuming checks. This also matches how the flag is used in decoders and
demuxers.

For codecs where decoding of a whole plane can simply
be skipped, we should offer applications to not decode
alpha for better performance (ca. 30% less CPU usage
and 40% reduced memory bandwidth).
It also means applications do not need to implement support
(even if it is rather simple) for YUVA formats in order to be
able to play these files.

The options table is used in tools built by the host compiler and the
deprecation macros pull in bits that are not safe to use if host and
target compiler differ.
