These variables are coming from mpegvideoenc where are supposedly used
as bit counters on various frame properties. However their use is
unclear as they lack documentation, are available only from a very small
subset of encoders, and they are hardly used in the wild. Also frame_bits
in aacenc is employed in a similar way.
Remove this functionality from AVCodecContex, these variable are mostly
frame properties, and too few encoders support setting them with anything
useful.

Most option values are simply unused or ignored and in practice the
majory of codecs only need to check whether to enable rle or not.
Add appropriate codec private options which better expose the allowed
features.

This function returns the encoded data of a frame, one slice at a time
directly when that slice is encoded, instead of waiting for the full
frame to be done. However this field has a debatable usefulness, since
it looks like it is just a convoluted way to get data at lowest
possible latency, or a somewhat hacky way to store h263 in RFC-2190
rtp encapsulation.
Moreover when multi-threading is enabled (which is by default) the order
of returned slices is not deterministic at all, making the use of this
function not reliable at all (or at the very least, more complicated
than it should be).
So, for the reasons stated above, and being used by only a single encoder
family (mpegvideo), this field is deemed unnecessary, overcomplicated,
and not really belonging to libavcodec. Libavformat features a complete
implementation of RFC-2190, for any other case.

This side data type is meant to be added to AVStream side data.
A fallback track indicates an alternate track to use when the
current track can not be decoded for some reason. e.g. no
decoder available for codec.

This structure served as a bridge between data pointers and frames,
but it suffers from several limitations:
- it is not refcounted and data must be copied to every time
- it cannot be expanded without ABI break due to being used on the stack
- its functions are just wrappers to imgutils which add a layer of
unneeded indirection, and maintenance burden
- it allows hacks like embedding uncompressed data in packets
- its use is often confusing to our users
AVFrame provides a much better API, and, if a full blown frame is not
needed, it is just as simple and more straightfoward to use data and
linesize arrays directly.

Use the new fields directly instead of the ones from AVPicture.
This removes a layer of indirection which serves no pratical purpose
whatsoever, and will help in removing AVPicture structure completely
later.
Every subtitle encoder/decoder seamlessly points to the new arrays,
so it is possible to deprecate AVSubtitleRect.pict.

This commit shall introduce the first step of adding support for the
Daala next generation video codec to FFmpeg. Although still in
development, the codec is showing good progress and exchanging work
through IETF drafts. The companies behind Daala are also participating
in the Alliance for Open Media, so it's likely that whatever the result
any of these collaborations produce it's probable that elements from
Daala could be used in them, or perhaps this codec itself could be the
result.
It was merged with the iff_ilbm decoder in commit
929a24efff.
Define AV_CODEC_ID_IFF_BYTERUN1 as AV_CODEC_ID_IFF_ILBM for API
compatibility.

Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in
practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement
for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and
to get rid of it.

"int" is useful in testing because provides accurate results across
different plaftforms, so remove it from the scheduled FF_API_UNUSED_MEMBERS
deprecation.
Deprecate the now unused option, but temporarily retain the capability
to disable the now default behaviour.
Mention this change in the AVPacket documentation.

The h264 decoder reports 4.1 as its maximum level, but it will decode
5.1 4K video just fine. In practice, the published level limits in
vdpau do not communicate anything that's actually useful.
Avoid duplicating the literal numeric values
