This option adds a long string of numbers to the progress line, where
i-th number contains the base-2 logarithm of the number of times a frame
with this QP value was seen by print_report().
There are multiple problems with this feature:
* despite this existing since 2005, web search shows no indication
that it was ever useful for any meaningful purpose;
* the format of what is printed is entirely undocumented, one has to
find it out from the source code;
* QP values above 31 are silently ignored;
* it only works with one video stream;
* as it relies on global state, it is in conflict with ongoing
architectural changes.
It then seems that the nontrivial cost of maintaining this option is not
worth its negligible (or possibly negative - since it pollutes the
already large option space) value.
Users who really need similar functionality can also implement it
themselves using -vstats.
The function now accepts an existing buffer to avoid unnecessary allocations,
as well as only reporting the needed amount of bytes if you pass a NULL pointer
as input for data.
For this, both parameters become input and output, as well as making data
optional. This is backwards compatible, and as such not breaking any existing
use of the function in external code (if there's any).

In particular, add a sentence to introduce the example, and add a
simpler starting example with no options.
Also use different format for input.avi and output.mp4, to convey
that the conversion also works on the container format.

Document metadata entries set by the filter, extend and clarify
options, add additional example showing how to extract the generated
data.

Drop mention of unsupported N:M syntax, dropped since 0ed61546c4.
Also, drop reference of common expression constants, and fix
description of a expression parameter.

This patch add another ARIB caption decoder using libaribcaption
external library.
Unlike libaribb24, it supports 3 types of subtitle outputs:
* text: plain text
* ass: ASS formatted text
* bitmap: bitmap image
Default subtitle type is ass as same as libaribb24.
Advantages compared with libaribb24 on ASS subtitle are:
* Subtitle positioning.
* Multi-rect subtitle: some captions are displayed at different
position at a time.
* More stability and reproducibility.
To compile with this feature:
* libaribcaption external library has to be pre-installed.
https://github.com/xqq/libaribcaption
* configure with `--enable-libaribcaption` option.
`--enable-libaribb24` and `--enable-libaribcaption` options are
not exclusive. If both enabled, libaribcaption precedes as
order listed in `libavcodec/allcodecs.c`.

These fields are supposed to store information about the packet the
frame was decoded from, specifically the byte offset it was stored at
and its size.
However,
- the fields are highly ad-hoc - there is no strong reason why
specifically those (and not any other) packet properties should have a
dedicated field in AVFrame; unlike e.g. the timestamps, there is no
fundamental link between coded packet offset/size and decoded frames
- they only make sense for frames produced by decoding demuxed packets,
and even then it is not always the case that the encoded data was
stored in the file as a contiguous sequence of bytes (in order for pos
to be well-defined)
- pkt_pos was added without much explanation, apparently to allow
passthrough of this information through lavfi in order to handle byte
seeking in ffplay. That is now implemented using arbitrary user data
passthrough in AVFrame.opaque_ref.
- several filters use pkt_pos as a variable available to user-supplied
expressions, but there seems to be no established motivation for using them.
- pkt_size was added for use in ffprobe, but that too is now handled
without using this field. Additonally, the values of this field
produced by libavcodec are flawed, as described in the previous
ffprobe conversion commit.
In summary - these fields are ill-defined and insufficiently motivated,
so deprecate them.
This has not been functional since a year ago, including in our current
minimum dependency of libplacebo (v4.192.0). It also causes build errors
against libplacebo v6, so it needs to be removed from the code. We can
keep the option around for now, but it should also be removed soon.
