These fields are supposed to store information about the packet the
frame was decoded from, specifically the byte offset it was stored at
and its size.
However,
- the fields are highly ad-hoc - there is no strong reason why
specifically those (and not any other) packet properties should have a
dedicated field in AVFrame; unlike e.g. the timestamps, there is no
fundamental link between coded packet offset/size and decoded frames
- they only make sense for frames produced by decoding demuxed packets,
and even then it is not always the case that the encoded data was
stored in the file as a contiguous sequence of bytes (in order for pos
to be well-defined)
- pkt_pos was added without much explanation, apparently to allow
passthrough of this information through lavfi in order to handle byte
seeking in ffplay. That is now implemented using arbitrary user data
passthrough in AVFrame.opaque_ref.
- several filters use pkt_pos as a variable available to user-supplied
expressions, but there seems to be no established motivation for using them.
- pkt_size was added for use in ffprobe, but that too is now handled
without using this field. Additonally, the values of this field
produced by libavcodec are flawed, as described in the previous
ffprobe conversion commit.
In summary - these fields are ill-defined and insufficiently motivated,
so deprecate them.
It reduces typing: Before this patch, there were 105 codecs
whose long_name-definition exceeded the 80 char line length
limit. Now there are only nine of them.

This is possible, because every given FFCodec has to implement
exactly one of these. Doing so decreases sizeof(FFCodec) and
therefore decreases the size of the binary.
Notice that in case of position-independent code the decrease
is in .data.rel.ro, so that this translates to decreased
memory consumption.

Up until now, codec.h contains both public and private parts
of AVCodec. This exposes the internals of AVCodec to users
and leads them into the temptation of actually using them
and forces us to forward-declare structures and types that
users can't use at all.
This commit changes this by adding a new structure FFCodec to
codec_internal.h that extends AVCodec, i.e. contains the public
AVCodec as first member; the private fields of AVCodec are moved
to this structure, leaving codec.h clean.

Also move FF_CODEC_TAGS_END as well as struct AVCodecDefault.
This reduces the amount of files that have to include internal.h
(which comes with quite a lot of indirect inclusions), as e.g.
most encoders don't need it. It is furthemore in preparation
for moving the private part of AVCodec out of the public codec.h.

Given that the AVCodec.next pointer has now been removed, most of the
AVCodecs are not modified at all any more and can therefore be made
const (as this patch does); the only exceptions are the very few codecs
for external libraries that have a init_static_data callback.

Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.

Merges Libav commit 47687a2f8a.
I tried doing this before, but it resulted in weird behaviour with
certain samples. I want to say I think I've got it sorted out now,
and the new autobsf stuff makes it trivial to turn on.
The native support for packed bframes is buggy and I think buggy
in ways beyond what I already try to account for, so this should be
a net improvements.
Previously, the pts value was initialised to AV_NOPTS_VALUE and so
it was not necessary to always set it. Now, with the new-new decode
API, this is no longer true. I'm not sure why I avoided setting the
pts when the decoder value was also AV_NOPTS_VALUE - it clearly
wouldn't have changed anything previously, but here we are.
Failing to do this, means the frame pts will be some random uninitalised
value.
The new new decode API requires the decoder to ask for the next input
packet, and it cannot just return EAGAIN if that packet cannot be
processed yet. This means we must finally confront how we get this
decoder to block when the input buffer is full and no output frames
are ready yet.
In the end, that isn't too hard to achieve - the main trick seems to
be that you have to aggressively poll the hardware - it doesn't seem
to make any forward progress if you sleep.

The old code had to retain a partial frame across two calls in
the case of separate interlaced fields. Now, we know that we'll
get both fields within the same receive_frame call, and so we
don't need to manage the frame as private state any more.
It's not possible to return EAGAIN when we've passed input EOF and are
in draining mode. If do return EAGAIN, we're saying there's no way to
get any more output - which isn't true in many cases.
So let's handled these cases in an internal loop as best we can.
It seems that without all the other 1:1 heuristics, we don't have
a fundamental problem trusting the interlaced flag on output
pictures. That's a relief.
I'm not sure why, but the mpeg4_unpack_bframes bsf is not
interacting well with seeking. Looking at the code, it should be
ok, with possibly one warning shown, but I see it getting stuck
for an extended period of time after a seek where a packed frame
is cached to be shown later.
So, I gave up on that and went back to making the old hardware
based path work. Turns out that it wasn't broken except that some
samples have a 6 byte drop packet which I wasn't accounting for.
Now it works again and seeks are good.
The new decode API allows for m:n decode patterns, which is what
you need to use this hardware in a sane way. There are so many
situations where 1:1 doesn't happen naturally that it's a miracle
I got it working as well as I did.
With this change, we can throw all of the crazy heuristics and
sleeps(!) out, and things work correctly.
Why on earth the hardware returns garbage for the first sample of
a decoded picture is anyone's guess. The simplest reasonable way
to patch it up is to copy the first sample of the second line. This
should result in the correct chroma values (because the data was
original 4:2:0 upsampled to 4:2:2) even if the luma is isn't.
The hardware handling of packed bframes was always questionable but
it used to ok with my workaround. Today, not so much. But today we
have a bsf to unpack the bframes, so let's just use that and be
done with it.
With all the various refactorings that have happened over the years,
the current pts logic is very broken for non-trivial cases (ie: ones
where not every frame/field has a meaningful pts assocated with it).
Generally, we do not want to write AV_NOPTS_VALUE as the output
timestamp, regardless of anything else. It's better to pass zero
if there's no other information.
Additionally, interlaced content where the decoder returns each field
separately can result in the first field carrying the timestamp and
the second having AV_NOPTS_VALUE. It's clearly wrong to overwrite
the valid timestamp.
So, let's just never write AV_NOPTS_VALUE into an output frame.
Empirically, this fixed playback of interlaced mpeg2 and h.264 and
mpeg4-asp with packed b-frames in an avi container.
Although the old API is supposed to be functional, the crystalhd
decoder is currently not working for non-annex.b h.264 content.
So, let's update to the modern API and make it work again.

Istvan Sebok provided a sample where field pair -> two fields content
was being misdetected by the existing logic. I added an additional
test to check the input picture type as identified by our h.264
parser.
