Use sched_getaffinity to determine the number of logical CPUs.
Limits the number of threads to 16 since slice threading of H.264
seems to be buggy with more than 16 threads.
This was intended as an optimisation for skipped blocks in MPEG2
P-frames and never used elsewhere. Removing this "optimisation"
speeds up MPEG2 decoding by 1-2% (ARM Cortex-A9).

The next call to decode() will update from an invalid index, which will
either lead to a memcpy() where dest==src (2 threads), or lead to a
crash (>2 threads).

This fixes a compile error on mingw32 when using p->thread
directly (as if it were a pointer) to track thread existence,
because the type is opaque and may be a non-pointer.

Adding the thread count in frame level multithreading to has_b_frames
as an additional delay causes more problems than it solves.
For example inconsistent behaviour during timestamp calculation in
libavformat.
Thread count and frame level multithreading are both set by the user.
If the additional delay caused by frame level multithreading needs
to be considered in the calling code it has all information to take
it into account.
Should it become necessary to calculate a maximum delay inside
libavcodec it should be exported as its own field and not reusing
an existing field.

A new field, AVCodecContext.internal is used to hold a new struct
AVCodecInternal, which has private fields that are not codec-specific and are
used by general libavcodec functions.
Moved internal_buffer, internal_buffer_count, and is_copy.
not to mention race conditions and that its used for stream copy, used to determine IPB type by
applications and other things.
Fixes various frame drop/timestamp issues with frame multithreading.

The thread_type API allows you to request only FF_THREAD_FRAME (instead of
FRAME | SLICE), but it was being ignored.
We don't implement both of them at the same time, so there isn't an effect
on current codecs, except that you can request no kinds of threading now
(a bit useless).

thread_count passed to ff_thread_init() is only used to set AVCodecContext.

of avcodec_thread_init().
This also fixes the problem that calling avcodec_thread_init() with pthreads
enabled did not set it since ff1efc524c.

This moves setting the thread count to a minimum of 1 to
frame_thread_init(), allowing a value of zero to propagate
through to the codec if frame threading is not used. This
makes auto-threads work in libx264.

(cherry picked from commit ff1efc524c)
For intra codecs, ff_thread_finish_setup() is called before decoding starts
automatically. However, get_buffer can only be used before it's called, so
adding this requirement broke frame threading for them. Fixed by moving the
call until after get_buffer is finished.

As a side effect of the last commit, avcodec_open() now calls it automatically,
so there is no longer any need for clients to call it.
Instead they should set AVCodecContext.thread_count.
avcodec_thread_free() is deprecated, and will be removed from avcodec.h at the
next MAJOR libavcodec bump.
Rename the functions to ff_thread_init/free, since they are now internal.
Wrappers are provided to maintain API compatibility.

The various avcodec_thread_init() functions are updated to return
immediately after setting avctx->thread_count. This allows -threads 0
to pass through to codecs. It also simplifies the usage for apps
using libavcodec.

It also avoids needing a separate int array when the only additional data
the jobs needs is a single int running from 0 to count-1.
