Up until now, we had a PacketList structure which is actually
a PacketListEntry; a proper PacketList did not exist
and all the related functions just passed pointers to pointers
to the head and tail elements around. All these pointers were
actually consecutive elements of their containing structs,
i.e. the users already treated them as if they were a struct.
So add a proper PacketList struct and rename the current PacketList
to PacketListEntry; also make the functions use this structure
instead of the pair of pointers.

This is possible now that the next-API is gone.

The next pointer is kept at the end for backwards compatability until the
major bump, when it should ideally be moved at the front.

Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
AVFormatParameters are converted into corresponding private options in
av_open_input_file/stream() compat wrappers, so accessing them from
demuxers is redundant.
The variable is used for containing the parsed value of framerate,
using a lexically consistent name eases readability/understanding.

This also lists the objects from those two libraries as internal (by adding
the ff_ prefix) so that they can then be hidden via linker scripts.
(cherry picked from commit c6610a216e)
AVERROR(ENOMEM).
AVERROR_NOMEM is deprecated and will be dropped at the next libavutil
major bump.
