libavcodec now automatically serializes decoding for hwaccels which
are not thread-safe. This means API users, which rely on the libavcodec
native software fallback mechanism, can now simply enable threading
without running into problems.
This patch deprecates anything that has to do with merging/splitting
side data. Automatic side data merging (and splitting), as well as all
API symbols involved in it, are removed completely.
Two FF_API_ defines are dedicated to deprecating API symbols related to
this: FF_API_MERGE_SD_API removes av_packet_split/merge_side_data in
libavcodec, and FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG deprecates
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA in libavformat.
Since it was claimed that changing the default from merging side data to
not doing it is an ABI change, there are two additional FF_API_ defines,
which stop using the side data merging/splitting by default (and remove
any code in avformat/avcodec doing this): FF_API_MERGE_SD in libavcodec,
and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD in libavformat.
It is very much intended that FF_API_MERGE_SD and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD
are quickly defined to 0 in the next ABI bump, while the API symbols are
retained for a longer time for the sake of compatibility.
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA will (very much intentionally) do nothing for
most of the time it will still be defined. Keep in mind that no code
exists that actually tries to unset this flag for any reason, nor does
such code need to exist. Code setting this flag explicitly will work as
before. Thus it's ok for AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to do nothing once
side data merging has been removed from libavformat.
In order to avoid that anyone in the future does this incorrectly, here
is a small guide how to update the internal code on bumps:
- next ABI bump (probably soon):
- define FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- next API bump (typically two years in the future or so):
- define FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG to 0, and remove all code covered
by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD_API to 0, and remove all code covered by it
This forces anyone who actually wants packet side data to temporarily
use deprecated API to get it all. If you ask me, this is batshit fucked
up crazy, but it's how we roll. Making AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to be
set by default was rejected as an ABI change, so I'm going all the way
to get rid of this once and for all.

Apparently the demuxer outputs the wrong padding for HE-AAC (based on
the raw sample rate, or so). aacdec contains a hack to adjust the muxer
padding accordingly before it's used to trim the decoder output. This
modified the packet side data, which in combination with the old
decoding API would change the packet the user passed to the decoder.
This is clearly not allowed, and it breaks running some gapless fate
tests with "-fflags +keepside" applied (without keepside, the packet
metadata is typically newly allocated, essentially making a copy and not
modifying the user's input packet).
This should probably be fixed in the demuxer (and consequently also the
muxer), but for now only fix the immediate problem.
Regression since 946ed78f5f (2012).
There is no reason that draining couldn't return an error or two. But
some decoders don't handle this very well, and might always return an
error. This can lead to API users getting into an infinite loop and
burning CPU, because no progress is made and EOF is never returned.
In fact, ffmpeg.c contains a hack against such a case. It is made
unnecessary with this commit, and removed with the next one. (This
particular error case seems to have been fixed since the hack was
added, though.)
This might lose frames if decoding returns errors during draining.

The assumption that avcodec_send_packet makes regarding decoders
consuming the entire packet is not true if the codec supports
truncated decoding mode and the truncated flag is turned on.
Steps to reproduce:
./ffmpeg_g -flags truncated \
-i "http://samples.ffmpeg.org/MPEG2/test-ebu-422.40000.pakets.ts" \
-c:v ffv1 -c:a copy -y /tmp/truncated.nut

It's container level information on some formats (Matroska, MXF, yuv4mpeg), so
it should be printed at higher log levels than debug.

With the new decode API, doing this in ffmpeg.c is impractical. There
was resistance against removing the warning, so put it into libavcodec.
Not bothering with reducing the warning to verbose log level for
subsequent wanrings. The warning should be rare, and only happen when
developing new codecs for the old API.
Includes a change suggested by Michael Niedermayer.
This makes it easier to use the lowres option when dealing with input
files in different codecs. If the codec doesn't support lowres=1 for
instance, it will throw a warning and use lowres=0 instead of erroring
out completely.

Currently it's exported as AVFrame.pkt_pts, which is also the only use
for that field. The reason it is done like this is that lavc used to
export various codec-specific "timing" information in AVFrame.pts, which
is not done anymore.
Since it is confusing to the callers to have a separate field which is
used only for decoder timestamps and nothing else, deprecate pkt_pts and
use just AVFrame.pts everywhere.
The deprecated avcodec_decode_video2() and avcodec_decode_audio4()
functions called av_packet_split_side_data() on the input packets. This
is required for packets produced by libavformat with the
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA flag unset (which is unfortunately the
default).
The new API didn't do this yet, although it didn't matter as no decoder
supports the new API yet. The emulation layer for the old API calls the
old API functions, which took care of the splitting. Add this code to
the new API codec entrypoints too, because we shouldn't send essentially
corrupted data to decoders.
Until now, the decoding API was restricted to outputting 0 or 1 frames
per input packet. It also enforces a somewhat rigid dataflow in general.
This new API seeks to relax these restrictions by decoupling input and
output. Instead of doing a single call on each decode step, which may
consume the packet and may produce output, the new API requires the user
to send input first, and then ask for output.
For now, there are no codecs supporting this API. The API can work with
codecs using the old API, and most code added here is to make them
interoperate. The reverse is not possible, although for audio it might.
