This will replace the 1024 character limited filename field. Compatiblity for
output contexts are provided by copying filename field to URL if URL is unset
and by providing an internal function for muxers to set both url and filename
at once.

The seek function can just return an error if seeking is unavailable,
but often this is too late. Add a flag that signals that the stream is
unseekable, and use it in HLS.
It was sort of optional before - if you didn't call it, networking was
initialized on demand, and an ugly warning was logged. Also, the doxygen
comments threatened that it would be made strictly required one day.
Make it explicitly optional. I would prefer to deprecate it fully, but
there might still be legitimate reasons to use this. But the average
user won't need it.
This is needed only for two reasons: to initialize TLS libraries like
OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and winsock.
OpenSSL and GnuTLS were already silently initialized on demand if the
global network init function was not called. They also have various
thread-safety acrobatics, which make concurrent initialization within
libavformat safe. In addition, the libraries are moving towards making
their global init functions safe, which removes all need for central
global init. In particular, GnuTLS 3.5.16 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g have been
found to have safe init functions. In all cases, they use internal
reference counters to avoid that the global uninit functions interfere
with concurrent uses of the library by other API users who called global
init.
winsock should be thread-safe as well, and maintains an internal
reference counter as well.
Since we still support ancient TLS libraries, which do not have this
fixed, and since it's unknown whether winsock and GnuTLS
reinitialization is costly in any way, don't deprecate the libavformat
functions yet.
The twoloop coder sounds decent at low bitrates, however at higher bitrates
it sounds worse than the fast coder (which used to be the old twoloop coder
before October 2015) and needs quite a lot more CPU.
Change the default to fast. It has been well tested and has had little changes
over the years so its been confirmed to be quite stable.
Also change its description (not valid for more than a year) and the
documentation.

Deprecate the entire library. Merged years ago to provide compatibility
with Libav, it remained unmaintained by the FFmpeg project and duplicated
functionality provided by libswresample.
In order to improve consistency and reduce attack surface, as well as to ease
burden on maintainers, it has been deprecated. Users of this library are asked
to migrate to libswresample, which, as well as providing more functionality,
is faster and has higher accuracy.

Some http/1.0 implementations, like python's SimpleHTTPServer, can only support one client connection at a time. Making a second request while the first is still connected leads to a deadlock.
This change enables multiple connections for http/1.1 servers only, which need to support keepalive by default and should have no problem with concurrent requests.

Can be used by the api user to figure out what http features the server supports based on the response received.

Use static mutexes instead of requiring a lock manager. The behavior
should be roughly the same before and after this change for API users
which did not set the lock manager at all (except that a minor memory
leak disappears).
This improves network throughput of the hls demuxer by avoiding
the latency introduced by downloading segments one at a time.
The problem is particularly noticable over high-latency network
connections: for instance, if RTT is 250ms, there will a 250ms idle
period between when one segment response is read and the next one
starts.
The obvious solution to this is to use HTTP pipelining, where a
second request can be sent (on the persistent http/1.1 connection)
before the first response is fully read. Unfortunately the way the
http protocol is implemented in avformat makes implementing pipleining
very complex.
Instead, this commit simulates pipelining using two separate persistent
http connections. This has the advantage of working independently of
the http_persistent option, and can be used with http/1.0 servers as
well. The pair of connections is swapped every time a new segment starts
downloading, and a request for the next segment is sent on the secondary
connection right away. This means the second response will be ready and
waiting by the time the current response is fully read.

This teaches the HLS demuxer to use the HTTP protocols
multiple_requests=1 option, to take advantage of "Connection:
Keep-Alive" when downloading playlists and segments from the HLS server.
With the new option, you can avoid TCP connection and TLS negotiation
overhead, which is particularly beneficial when streaming via a
high-latency internet connection.
Similar to the http_persistent option recently implemented in hlsenc.c
