This field is designed for marking codec properties useful to lavc internals.
Two internal capabilities are added:
- FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE: codec can be opened without locks;
- FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_CLEANUP: codec frees memory if initialization fails.
Move the lavc/imgconvert functions and rename them as follows:
avpicture_get_size -> av_image_get_buffer_size()
avpicture_fill -> av_image_fill_arrays()
avpicture_layout -> av_image_copy_to_buffer()
The new functions have an align parameter, which allows to define the
linesize alignment assumed in the buffer (which is set or read).
The names of the functions are consistent with the lavu/samples API
(av_samples_get_buffer_size(), av_samples_fill_arrays()).
A redundant check has been dropped from av_image_fill_arrays().

This can be used by the application to signal its ability to cope with
video surface of types other than 8-bits YUV 4:2:0.

This carries the pixel format that would be used if it were not for
hardware acceleration. This is equal to AVCodecContext.pix_fmt if
hardware acceleration is not in use.

When decoding, this field holds the inverse of the framerate that can be
written in the headers for some codecs. Using a field called 'time_base'
for this is very misleading, as there are no timestamps associated with
it. Furthermore, this field is used for a very different purpose during
encoding.
Add a new field, called 'framerate', to replace the use of time_base for
decoding.
Decoding acceleration may work even if the codec level is higher than
the stated limit of the VDPAU driver. Or the problem may be considered
acceptable by the user. This flag allows skipping the codec level
capability checks and proceed with decoding.
Applications should obviously not set this flag by default, but only if
the user explicitly requested this behavior (and presumably knows how
to turn it back off if it fails).

Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio
encoders, is exported through AVCodecContext.delay. However
- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
The register function now specifies that the user callback should
leave things in the same state that it found them on failure but
that failure to destroy is ignored by the library. The register
function is now explicit about its behavior on failure
(it unregisters the previous callback and destroys all mutex).

Add CODEC_FLAG2_SKIP_MANUAL (exposed as "skip_manual"), which makes
the decoder export sample skip information via side data, instead
of applying it automatically. The format of the side data is the
same as AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES, but since AVPacket and AVFrame
side data constants overlap, AV_FRAME_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES needs to
be introduced.
This is useful for applications which want to do the timestamp
calculations manually, or which actually want to retrieve the
padding.

The reasoning behind this addition is that various third party
applications are interested in getting some motion information out of a
video "for free" when it is available.
It was considered to export other information as well (such as the intra
information about the block, or the quantization) but the structure
might have ended up into a half full-generic, half full of codec
specific cruft. If more information is necessary, it should either be
added in the "flags" field of the AVMotionVector structure, or in
another side-data.
This commit also includes an example exporting them in a CSV stream.
It allows attaching other external, opaque data to the frame and passing it
through the reordering process, for cases when the caller wants other data
than just the plain packet pts. There is no way to cleanly achieve this
without the field.
