The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

Allocating coded_frame is what most encoders do anyway, so it makes
sense to always allocate and free it in a single place. Moreover a lot
of encoders freed the frame with av_freep() instead of the correct API
av_frame_free().
This bring uniformity to encoder behaviour and prevents applications
from erroneusly accessing this field when not allocated. Additionally
this helps isolating encoders that export information with coded_frame,
and heavily simplifies its deprecation.

Also break some long lines, remove codec function placeholder comments
and add spaces in sample/pixel format lists.

This changes a number of FATE results, since before this commit, the
timestamps in all tests using rawenc were made up by lavf.
In most cases, the previous timestamps were completely bogus.
In some other cases -- raw formats, mostly h264 -- the new timestamps
are bogus as well. The only difference is that timestamps invented by
the muxer are replaced by timestamps invented by the demuxer.
cscd -- avconv sets output codec timebase from r_frame_rate
and r_frame_rate is in this case some guessed number 31.42 (377/12),
which is not accurate enough to represent all timestamps. This results
in some frames having duplicate pts. Therefore, vsync 0 needs to be
changed to vsync 2 and avconv drops two frames. A proper fix in the
future would be to set output timebase to something saner in avconv.
nuv -- previous timestamps for video were wrong AND the cscd
comment applies, one frame is dropped.
vp8-signbias -- the file contains two frames with identical timestamps,
so -vsync 0 needs to be removed/changed to -vsync 2 and avconv drops one
frame.
vc1-ism -- apparrently either the demuxer lies about timestamps or the
file is broken, since dts == pts on all packets, but reordering clearly
takes place.
Passing an explicit filename to this command is only necessary if the
documentation in the @file block refers to a file different from the
one the block resides in.

Otherwise doxygen complains about ambiguous filenames when files exist
under the same name in different subdirectories.
Originally committed as revision 16912 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
Was "Copy pts for each raw encoded frame."
It causes problems as timestamps management when video sync is zero needs
rework in ffmpeg.c.
