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.

Use the Multi-library interface to load at runtime x265 libraries
supporting alternative bit depths (e.g. 8bit and 16bit).
The linked library will try to load the library supporting the
pixel format if it is not supported by itself.
Fallback requesting the native library (passing 0 to x265_api_get) if
a library supporting the requested bit depth is not available.

This allows proper muxing and seeking in things like MPEG-TS, by
placing headers by random access points.

Framerate is now a sane rational instead of an integer, and
inputDepth is changed to what it actually is.
