The general demuxing API uses parsers and decoders. Therefore
FFStream contains pointers to AVCodecContexts and
AVCodecParserContext and lavf/internal.h includes lavc/avcodec.h.
Yet actually only a few files files really use these; and it is best
when this number stays small. Therefore this commit uses opaque
structs in lavf/internal.h for these contexts and stops including
avcodec.h.
This also avoids including lavc/codec_desc.h implicitly. All other
headers are implicitly included as now (mostly through codec.h).

Do this by allocating AVStream together with the data that is
currently in AVStreamInternal; or rather: Put AVStream at the
beginning of a new structure called FFStream (which encompasses
more than just the internal fields and is a proper context in its own
right, hence the name) and remove AVStreamInternal altogether.

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.
The only parameters needed by the demuxers are the sample rate and sample
count, which can be trivially extracted manually, without resorting to
an avpriv function.
Originally, AVFormatContext and a metadata dict were provided to ff_vorbis_comment(),
but this presented issues if an AVStream was being updated or the metadata on
AVFormatContext wasn't actually being updated. To remedy this, ff_vorbis_stream_comment()
explicitly updates a stream's metadata and sets any necessary flags.
ff_vorbis_comment() does not modify any flags, and any calls to it that update
AVFormatContext's metadata (just a single call) must also update
AVFormatContext.event_flags after detecting any metadata changes to the provided
dictionary, as signaled by a positive return value.
