There are lots of files that don't need it: The number of object
files that actually need it went down from 2011 to 884 here.
Keep it for external users in order to not cause breakages.
Also improve the other headers a bit while just at it.

and rename it to FF_INFMT_INIT_CLEANUP. This flag is demuxer-only,
so this is the more appropriate place for it.
This does not preclude adding internal flags common to both
demuxer and muxer in the future.

This commit does for AVInputFormat what commit
59c9dc82f4 did for AVOutputFormat:
It adds a new type FFInputFormat, moves all the internals
of AVInputFormat to it and adds a now reduced AVInputFormat
as first member.
This does not affect/improve extensibility of both public
or private fields for demuxers (it is still a mess due to lavd).
This is possible since 50f34172e0
(which removed the last usage of an internal field of AVInputFormat
in fftools).
(Hint: tools/probetest.c accesses the internals of FFInputFormat
as well, but given that it is a testing tool this is not considered
a problem.)

It is not uncommon to find code where the caller thinks to know better
what the return value should be than the callee. E.g. something like
"if (av_new_packet(pkt, size) < 0) return AVERROR(ENOMEM);". This commit
changes several instances of this to instead forward the actual error.

Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
