It may have improved cross-platform stability, but wasn't the only place in
the encoder with bitexact issues. It is no longer needed because we have FATE
tests for float encoders using fuzzy comparison.
When using "-f x11grab -i :0.0" valgrind reports a definitely lost
memory block with this message:
==31544== 5 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 2

The 5 bytes lost are the ones from param = av_strdup(":0.0"), so let's
free param in the exit path.
Also check the av_strdup() return value.
Note: calling av_free(param) even when av_strdup() fails and param is
NULL is OK and keeps the code simpler without adding another label to
skip av_free().

Calling avcodec_flush_buffers() and then avcodec_decode_video2() with
a 0-sized packet (to get remaining buffered frames) could incorrectly
return an old frame from before the avcodec_flush_buffers() call. Add
a loop in ff_thread_flush() to zero the got_frame field of each thread
to ensure the old frames will not be returned.

If the dummy frame are not created from a reference frame they could
be deleted untimely resulting in multithreaded decoder waiting on
the current frame to finish.
Noticed by Ronald S. Bultje in the RV34 decoder with a broken file.
If decoding a second complementary field, and the first was
decoded in our thread, mark decoding of that field as complete.
If decoding fails, mark the decoded field/frame as complete.
Do not allow switching between field modes or field/frame mode
between slices within the same field/frame. Ensure that two
subsequent fields cover top/bottom (rather than top/frame,
bottom/frame or such nonsense situations).
Fixes various deadlocks when decoding samples with errors in
reference frames.

This allows for testing floating-point audio encoders across different
platforms where exact comparisons are unreliable due to float rounding
differences.
