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.
This fixes a memleak if read_kuki_chunk is executed more than once.

Several compilers such as clang/icc/pathscale will optimize the check
pos + size < pos (assuming size > 0) into false, since signed integer
overflow is undefined behavior in C. This breaks overflow checking.
Use a safe precondition check instead.

The existing functions defined in intfloat_readwrite.[ch] are
both slow and incorrect (infinities are not handled).
This introduces a new header with fast, inline conversion
functions using direct union punning assuming an IEEE-754
system, an assumption already made throughout the code.
The one use of Intel/Motorola extended 80-bit format is
replaced by simpler code sufficient under the present
constraints (positive normal values).
The old functions are marked deprecated and retained for
compatibility.
