Not all v4l2 devices implement the VIDIOC_G_PARM ioctl. This patch allow
ffmpeg to open such device and treat it the same as devices that do
implement the ioctl but returns that it do not implement the
V4L2_CAP_TIMEPERFRAME capability.

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.
The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

We now use 'pixelformat' for V4L2_PIX_FMT_* (as they do in v4l2
documentation) and 'pix_fmt' for AVPixelFormat.
No functional change in the code.

As of September 14 2012, v4l_enumstd() will return ENODATA
when a device's std field is set to 0. That is, the device
does not have a standard format. In order to properly
handle this case, v4l2_set_parameters should catch the
ENODATA code and break instead of failing.
Below is the v4l2-core commit describing this change.

Whenever av_gettime() is used to measure relative period of time,
av_gettime_relative() is prefered as it guarantee monotonic time
on supported platforms.
Since v4l2 is compiled only on Linux where av_gettime_relative()
is monotonic, a small wrapper function av_gettime_monotonic() is used
(should be inlined the compiler) to put emphasis on that fact.

With some (buggy) drivers, the VIDIOC_G_STD ioctl returns a std_id that cannot
be matched with any of the enumerated v4l2_standard structures (for example
std_id = 0 or std_id = 0xffffff). Do not fail when we reach the end of the
enumeration without a valid match.
