Up until now, ff_alloc_packet2() has a min_size parameter:
It is supposed to be a lower bound on the final size of the packet
to allocate. If it is not too far from the upper bound (namely,
if it is at least half the upper bound), then ff_alloc_packet2()
already allocates the final, already refcounted packet; if it is
not, then the packet is not refcounted and its data only points to
a buffer owned by the AVCodecContext (in this case, the packet will
be made refcounted in encode_simple_internal() in libavcodec/encode.c).
The goal of this was to avoid data copies and intermediate buffers
if one has a precise lower bound.
Yet those encoders for which precise lower bounds exist have recently
been switched to ff_get_encode_buffer() (which automatically allocates
final buffers), leaving only two encoders to actually set the min_size
to something else than zero (namely aliaspixenc and hapenc). Both of
these encoders use a very low lower bound that is not helpful in any
nontrivial case.
This commit therefore removes the min_size parameter as well as the
codepath in ff_alloc_packet2() for the allocation of final buffers.
Furthermore, the function has been renamed to ff_alloc_packet() and
moved to encode.h alongside ff_get_encode_buffer().

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.

Fixes: left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'.
Affected the FATE-tests vsynth1-cinepak, vsynth2-cinepak and
vsynth_lena-cinepak. Also fixes ticket #8220.

Avoid anonymously typedeffed structs and enums, drop an unused context member,
fix a small wording mishap, sizeof(type) ---> sizeof(*variable), drop a
needlessly verbose log message, use av_malloc_array() where appropriate.
Now it is possible to adjust compression speed vs R/D when needed
and also skip vintage player compatibility at will.

version 2013-02-08 Rl
- fixes/optimization in multistrip encoding and codebook size choice,
quality/bitrate is now better than that of the binary proprietary encoder
version 2013-02-12 Rl
- separated codebook training sets, avoided the transfer of wasted bytes,
which yields both better quality and smaller files
- now using the correct colorspace (TODO: move conversion to libswscale)
version 2013-02-14 Rl "Valentine's Day" version:
- made strip division more robust
- minimized bruteforcing the number of strips,
(costs some R/D but speeds up compession a lot), the heuristic
assumption is that score as a function of the number of strips has
one wide minimum which moves slowly, of course not fully true
- simplified codebook generation,
the old code was meant for other optimizations than we actually do
- optimized the codebook generation / error estimation for MODE_MC
version 2013-04-28 Rl
- bugfixed codebook optimization logic
version 2014-01-20 Rl
- made the encoder compatible with vintage decoders
and added some yet unused code for possible future
incremental codebook updates
- fixed a small memory leak
version 2014-01-21 Rl
- believe it or not, now we get even smaller files, with better quality
(which means I missed an optimization earlier :)

This parameter can be used to inform the allocation code about how much
downsizing might occur, and can be used to optimize how to allocate the
packet
