This avoids SIMD-optimized functions having to sign-extend their
line size argument manually to be able to do pointer arithmetic.
Also adjust parameter names to be "stride" everywhere.
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.

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.

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

The A32 bitstream reader variant is only used on ARMv5 and for
Prores due to the larger bit cache this decoder requires.
In benchmarks on ARMv5 (Marvell Sheeva) with gcc 4.6, the only
statistically significant difference between ALT and A32 is
a 4% advantage for ALT in FLAC decoding. There is thus no (longer)
any reason to keep the A32 reader from this point of view.
This patch adds an option to the ALT reader increasing the bit
cache to 32 bits as required by the Prores decoder. Benchmarking
shows no significant change in speed on Intel i7. Again, the
A32 reader fails to justify its existence.
