They are essential to be able to use the utils without av_malloc()
That is for example use with malloc(), memalign(), some other
private allocation function, on the stack or others.

In addition to the recent tables mess, the AVOption defaults behavior
changed, so an old lavc used with a new lavu will get completely messed
up defaults.
This commit introduces a new AVPacket side data type:
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA. Its main goal is to provide a way to
transmit the metadata from the AVFilterBufferRef up to the AVFrame. This
is at the moment "only" useful for lavfi input from libavdevice:
lavd/lavfi only outputs packets, and the metadata from the buffer ref
kept in its context needs to be transmitted from the packet to the frame
by the decoders. The buffer ref can be destroyed at any time (along with
the metadata), and a duplication of the AVPacket needs to duplicate the
metadata as well, so the choice of using the side data to store them was
selected.
Making sure lavd/lavfi raises the metadata is useful to allow tools like
ffprobe to access the filters metadata (it is at the moment the only
way); ffprobe will now automatically show the AVFrame metadata in any
customizable output format for users. API users will also be able to
access the AVFrame->metadata pointer the same way ffprobe does
(av_frame_get_metadata).
All the changes are done in this single commit to avoid some memory
leaks: for instances, the changes in lavfi/avcodec.c are meant to
duplicate the metadata from the buffer ref into the AVFrame. Unless we
have an internal way of freeing the AVFrame->metadata automatically, it
will leak in most of the user apps. To fix this problem, we introduce
AVCodecContext->metadata and link avctx->metadata to the current
frame->metadata and free it at each decode frame call (and in the codec
closing callback for the last one). But doing this also means to update
the way the tiff decoder already handles the AVFrame->metadata (it's the
only one decoder with frame metadata at the moment), by making sure it
is not trying to free a pointer already freed by the lavc internals.
The lavfi/avcodec.c buffer ref code is based on an old Thomas Kühnel
work, the rest of the code belongs to the commit author.

Make av_pix_fmt_descriptors table static on next major bump.
Making the table public is dangerous, since the caller has no way to
know how large it actually is. It also prevents adding new fields to
AVPixFmtDescriptor without a major bump.
The current API where the plain size is exposed is not of much
use - in most cases it is allocated dynamically anyway.
If allocated e.g. on the stack via an uint8_t array, there's no
guarantee that the struct's members are aligned properly (unless
the array is overallocated and the opaque pointer within it
manually aligned to some unspecified alignment).

Make internal small_strptime() function public, and use it in place of
strptime().
This allows to avoid a dependency on strptime() on systems which do not
support it.
In particular, fix trac ticket #992.
C++ does not allow to mix different enums, so e.g. code comparing
ACodecID with CodecID would fail to compile with gcc.
This very evil hack should fix this problem.
This adds a function to retrieve the number of entries in a
dictionary and updates the places directly accessing what should
be an opaque struct to use this new function instead.

Refactoring mmx2/mmxext YASM code with cpuflags will force renames.
So switching to a consistent naming scheme beforehand is sensible.
The name "mmxext" is more official and widespread and also the name
of the CPU flag, as reported e.g. by the Linux kernel.
Useful in cases where a significant analyzeduration is
still needed, while minimizing buffering before output.
An example is processing low-latency streams where all
media types won't necessarily come in if the
analyzeduration is small.

This will be used by filters which require an opaque field to be passed
in input. Should be required only for filters which imply a programmatic
use.
This is possibly a temporary solution, to be removed when we'll have a
clearer and better agreememnt of how/if to pass binary data for
initializing a filter.

Move the lavc/imgconvert functions and rename them as follows:
avpicture_get_size -> av_image_get_buffer_size()
avpicture_fill -> av_image_fill_arrays()
avpicture_layout -> av_image_copy_to_buffer()
The new functions have an align parameter, which allows to define the
linesize alignment assumed in the buffer (which is set or read).
The names of the functions are consistent with the lavu/samples API
(av_samples_get_buffer_size(), av_samples_fill_arrays()).
This function implements a delay using the first available
of the following functions:
- nanosleep()
- usleep()
- Sleep() (Windows)
The conditional #includes in time.c are simplified by including
unistd.h and windows.h whenever they are available rather than
having these lines triggered by specific functions.

The function was introduced in 4d6a8a2bdb and is not used anymore
outside avfilter.c.
This avoids to pollute the public API with an apparently unnecessary
function. The function was introduced a few days ago, so removing it from
the public API should do no much harm.
