This commit introduces a new AVPacket side data type:
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA. Its main goal is to provide a way to
transmit the metadata from the AVFilterBufferRef up to the AVFrame. This
is at the moment "only" useful for lavfi input from libavdevice:
lavd/lavfi only outputs packets, and the metadata from the buffer ref
kept in its context needs to be transmitted from the packet to the frame
by the decoders. The buffer ref can be destroyed at any time (along with
the metadata), and a duplication of the AVPacket needs to duplicate the
metadata as well, so the choice of using the side data to store them was
selected.
Making sure lavd/lavfi raises the metadata is useful to allow tools like
ffprobe to access the filters metadata (it is at the moment the only
way); ffprobe will now automatically show the AVFrame metadata in any
customizable output format for users. API users will also be able to
access the AVFrame->metadata pointer the same way ffprobe does
(av_frame_get_metadata).
All the changes are done in this single commit to avoid some memory
leaks: for instances, the changes in lavfi/avcodec.c are meant to
duplicate the metadata from the buffer ref into the AVFrame. Unless we
have an internal way of freeing the AVFrame->metadata automatically, it
will leak in most of the user apps. To fix this problem, we introduce
AVCodecContext->metadata and link avctx->metadata to the current
frame->metadata and free it at each decode frame call (and in the codec
closing callback for the last one). But doing this also means to update
the way the tiff decoder already handles the AVFrame->metadata (it's the
only one decoder with frame metadata at the moment), by making sure it
is not trying to free a pointer already freed by the lavc internals.
The lavfi/avcodec.c buffer ref code is based on an old Thomas Kühnel
work, the rest of the code belongs to the commit author.

Previously the device was returning EOF when the first sink was ending,
with the current change the device will continue to return frames until
all the sinks are EOF, which seems the most expected behavior.
WINBOOL is MinGW-specific, and since both MSVC and MinGW
have BOOL, use that instead.

The cpia video decoder is intended to be used with the v4l2 demuxer.
There are some small changes to the v4l2 demuxer to support the
variable frame length of the format.

In particular, do not upcase first word, do not use final dot, use a verb
to specify what the option does, sort entries by name, apply random
vertical align.
Avoid fastidious creation and immediate destroy of the display in case
one of the dither options fails to be set.
Also add NULL checks in write_trailer(), which are now necessary since
the function can be called when not all the components have been
initialized.
