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.
Also add missing trailing commas, break long codec_tag lines and
add spaces in codec_tag declarations.

It is unnecessary. Also, for some codecs we're reading more than 1 frame per
packet. Instead we use a private context variable to calculate the bit rate,
stream duration, and packet durations.
Updated FATE seek test, which has slightly different timestamps due to a
more accurate bit rate calculation.
Prefix the functions/tables brktimegm, pcm_read_seek,
dv_offset_reset, voc_get_packet, codec_movaudio_tags,
codec_movvideo_tags.
After this, lavf has no global symbols without the proper prefix.

The existing functions defined in intfloat_readwrite.[ch] are
both slow and incorrect (infinities are not handled).
This introduces a new header with fast, inline conversion
functions using direct union punning assuming an IEEE-754
system, an assumption already made throughout the code.
The one use of Intel/Motorola extended 80-bit format is
replaced by simpler code sufficient under the present
constraints (positive normal values).
The old functions are marked deprecated and retained for
compatibility.

In the name of consistency:
get_byte -> avio_r8
get_<type> -> avio_r<type>
get_buffer -> avio_read
get_partial_buffer will be made private later
get_strz is left out becase I want to change it later to return
something useful.

Code from ffmbc with changes to adapt to our metadata API.

the wrong place, causing an empty packet to be read before EOF was
detected and the eof detection is already now handled by av_get_packet anyway.

The name offset_t is easily confused with the standard off_t type and
*_t is POSIX reserved namespace if any POSIX header is included.

bits_per_coded_sample but that cannot be done seperately.
Patch by Luca Abeni
Also reset the minor version and fix the forgotton change to libfaad.
Note: The API/ABI should not be considered stable yet, there still may
be a change done here or there if some developer has some cleanup ideas and
patches!
