This parameter can be used to inform the allocation code about how much
downsizing might occur, and can be used to optimize how to allocate the
packet

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.

Since the decoder has been fixed to output something similar to
other implementations, the encoder weight table needed this fix.
Reference PSNR values on a progressive sequence (from tiny_psnr)
from a chained encoding and decoding:
Full progressive: stddev: 0.74 PSNR: 50.69 MAXDIFF: 19
Before: stddev: 1.43 PSNR: 44.97 MAXDIFF: 17
This patch: stddev: 0.76 PSNR: 50.44 MAXDIFF: 14

This is necessary to avoid target config settings bleeding into the host
compilation process with hardcoded tables and the DV VLC tables no longer
present as static tables in a header file.
Allowing dsputil functions to assume the stride is a multiple of 16
even for smaller block sizes can simplify their implementation.
This appears to be the only place this guarantee is not met.

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

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