When the encoder is fed with less frames than its delay, the picture list
looks like { NULL, NULL, ..., frame, frame, frame }. When flushing the
encoder (input frame == NULL), we need to ensure the picture list is
shifted enough so that we do not return an empty packet, which would
mean the encoder has finished, while it has not encoded any frame.

These field are difficult to interpret, and are provided by a single
encoder (mpegvideoenc). In general they do not belong to a structure
containing raw data only, so remove them from AVFrame.
Mpegvideoenc now uses a private field in Picture for its internal
computations.

This option is extremely codec specific and only a few codecs employ it.
Move it to codec private options instead: mpegenc family supports only 3
values, xavs and x264 use 5, and xvid has a different metric entirely.

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.

This is necessary to preserve the quality information currently exported
with coded_frame. Add the new side data to every encoder that needs it,
and use it in avconv.

Allocating coded_frame is what most encoders do anyway, so it makes
sense to always allocate and free it in a single place. Moreover a lot
of encoders freed the frame with av_freep() instead of the correct API
av_frame_free().
This bring uniformity to encoder behaviour and prevents applications
from erroneusly accessing this field when not allocated. Additionally
this helps isolating encoders that export information with coded_frame,
and heavily simplifies its deprecation.

They are used by dnxhd and mpegvideo_enc exclusively, move them to codec
private options instead.

Having this macro in an header only facilitates the use of such header.
The code increase is minimal and files have one less dependency
on mpegvideo.h.
The main ff_alloc_picture() function is made more generic with all the
parameters necessary as arguments. This will allows to move most of the
related functions to a separate file later.
Right now wrappers are provided to try and minimize the number of
changes in the code.
If it doesn't fit into 12 bits it triggers an assertion.

This improves motion estimation and avoids using uninitialized data
for resolutions that aren't a multiple of 16.
Prior to d2a25c40, the edges used to be initialized so that encoding
was deterministic, but after that commit it started using uninitialized
data (for non multiple of 16 resolutions).

This avoids trying to do sliced encoding, even if a slice/packet
size is requested (via the -ps option or the rtp_payload_size
field), since the encoder currently doesn't support it (or at least
our decoder can't decode it, even if the h261_encode_gob_header
function is hooked up to be called from the slicing part in
mpegvideo_enc.c).
