Currently, we have a AV_CODEC_ID_SSA, which matches the way the ASS/SSA
markup is muxed in a standalone .ass/.ssa file. This means the AVPacket
data starts with a "Dialogue:" string, followed by a timing information
(start and end of the event as string) and a trailing CRLF after each
line. One packet can contain several lines. We'll refer to this layout
as "SSA" or "SSA lines".
In matroska, this markup is not stored as such: it has no "Dialogue:"
prefix, it contains a ReadOrder field, the timing information is not in
the payload, and it doesn't contain the trailing CRLF. See [1] for more
info. We'll refer to this layout as "ASS".
Since we have only one common codec for both formats, the matroska
demuxer is constructing an AVPacket following the "SSA lines" format.
This causes several problems, so it was decided to change this into
clean ASS packets.
Some insight about what is changed or unchanged in this commit:
CODECS
------
- the decoding process still writes "SSA lines" markup inside the ass
fields of the subtitles rectangles (sub->rects[n]->ass), which is
still the current common way of representing decoded subtitles
markup. It is meant to change later.
- new ASS codec id: AV_CODEC_ID_ASS (which is different from the
legacy AV_CODEC_ID_SSA)
- lavc/assdec: the "ass" decoder is renamed into "ssa" (instead of
"ass") for consistency with the codec id and allows to add a real
ass decoder. This ass decoder receives clean ASS lines (so it starts
with a ReadOrder, is followed by the Layer, etc). We make sure this
is decoded properly in a new ass-line rectangle of the decoded
subtitles (the ssa decoder OTOH is doing a simple straightforward
copy). Using the packet timing instead of data string makes sure the
ass-line now contains the appropriate timing.
- lavc/assenc: just like the ass decoder, the "ssa" encoder is renamed
into "ssa" (instead of "ass") for consistency with the codec id, and
allows to add a real "ass" encoder.
One important thing about this encoder is that it only supports one
ass rectangle: we could have put several dialogue events in the
AVPacket (separated by a \0 for instance) but this would have cause
trouble for the muxer which needs not only the start time, but also
the duration: typically, you have merged events with the same start
time (stored in the AVPacket->pts) but a different duration. At the
moment, only the matroska do the merge with the SSA-line codec.
We will need to make sure all the decoders in the future can't add
more than one rectangle (and only one Dialogue line in it
obviously).
FORMATS
-------
- lavf/assenc: the .ass/.ssa muxer can take both SSA and ASS packets.
In the case of ASS packets as input, it adds the timing based on the
AVPacket pts and duration, and mux it with "Dialogue:", trailing
CRLF, etc.
- lavf/assdec: unchanged; it currently still only outputs SSA-lines
packets.
- lavf/mkv: the demuxer can now output ASS packets without the need of
any "SSA-lines" reconstruction hack. It will become the default at
next libavformat bump, and the SSA support will be dropped from the
demuxer. The muxer can take ASS packets since it's muxed normally,
and still supports the old SSA packets. All the SSA support and
hacks in Matroska code will be dropped at next lavf bump.

Since this function adds a standalone filter to a filter graph and we do
not support creating such filters, there is no reason for this function
to exist.
Since we do not support "standalone" filters not attached to an
AVFilterGraph, we should not have a public function to create such
filters. In addition that function is horribly named, the action it does
cannot be possibly described as "opening" a filter.

This function does the low-level work of av_opt_set_from_string()
but can be used when there is no option context or when a generic
handling of unknown keys is needed.
av_opt_set_from_string() is changed to make use of it.
They are essential to be able to use the utils without av_malloc()
That is for example use with malloc(), memalign(), some other
private allocation function, on the stack or others.

In addition to the recent tables mess, the AVOption defaults behavior
changed, so an old lavc used with a new lavu will get completely messed
up defaults.
This commit introduces a new AVPacket side data type:
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA. Its main goal is to provide a way to
transmit the metadata from the AVFilterBufferRef up to the AVFrame. This
is at the moment "only" useful for lavfi input from libavdevice:
lavd/lavfi only outputs packets, and the metadata from the buffer ref
kept in its context needs to be transmitted from the packet to the frame
by the decoders. The buffer ref can be destroyed at any time (along with
the metadata), and a duplication of the AVPacket needs to duplicate the
metadata as well, so the choice of using the side data to store them was
selected.
Making sure lavd/lavfi raises the metadata is useful to allow tools like
ffprobe to access the filters metadata (it is at the moment the only
way); ffprobe will now automatically show the AVFrame metadata in any
customizable output format for users. API users will also be able to
access the AVFrame->metadata pointer the same way ffprobe does
(av_frame_get_metadata).
All the changes are done in this single commit to avoid some memory
leaks: for instances, the changes in lavfi/avcodec.c are meant to
duplicate the metadata from the buffer ref into the AVFrame. Unless we
have an internal way of freeing the AVFrame->metadata automatically, it
will leak in most of the user apps. To fix this problem, we introduce
AVCodecContext->metadata and link avctx->metadata to the current
frame->metadata and free it at each decode frame call (and in the codec
closing callback for the last one). But doing this also means to update
the way the tiff decoder already handles the AVFrame->metadata (it's the
only one decoder with frame metadata at the moment), by making sure it
is not trying to free a pointer already freed by the lavc internals.
The lavfi/avcodec.c buffer ref code is based on an old Thomas Kühnel
work, the rest of the code belongs to the commit author.

Make av_pix_fmt_descriptors table static on next major bump.
Making the table public is dangerous, since the caller has no way to
know how large it actually is. It also prevents adding new fields to
AVPixFmtDescriptor without a major bump.
The current API where the plain size is exposed is not of much
use - in most cases it is allocated dynamically anyway.
If allocated e.g. on the stack via an uint8_t array, there's no
guarantee that the struct's members are aligned properly (unless
the array is overallocated and the opaque pointer within it
manually aligned to some unspecified alignment).
