Anton Khirnov 9200514ad8 lavf: replace AVStream.codec with AVStream.codecpar
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.

Luca Barbato ce70f28a17 avpacket: Replace av_free_packet with av_packet_unref
`av_packet_unref` matches the AVFrame ref-counted API and can be used as
a drop in replacement.

Deprecate `av_free_packet`.

Trivial replacements with sed are done in this commit:

Anton Khirnov b7effd4e83 avio: avio_ prefixes for get_* functions
In the name of consistency:
get_byte           -> avio_r8
get_<type>         -> avio_r<type>
get_buffer         -> avio_read

get_partial_buffer will be made private later

get_strz is left out becase I want to change it later to return
something useful.

Diego Elio Pettenò c6610a216e Prefix all _demuxer, _muxer, _protocol from libavformat and libavdevice.
This also lists the objects from those two libraries as internal (by adding
the ff_ prefix) so that they can then be hidden via linker scripts.
