wm4 dd3260185a demux_lavf: add support for libavdevice
libavdevice supports various "special" video and audio inputs, such
as screen-capture or libavfilter filter graphs.

libavdevice inputs are implemented as demuxers. They don't use the
custom stream callbacks (in AVFormatContext.pb). Instead, input
parameters are passed as filename. This means the mpv stream layer has
to be disabled. Do this by adding the pseudo stream handler avdevice://,
whose only purpose is passing the filename to demux_lavf, without
actually doing anything.

Change the logic how the filename is passed to libavformat. Remove
handling of the filename from demux_open_lavf() and move it to
lavf_check_file(). (This also fixes a possible bug when skipping the
"lavf://" prefix.)

libavdevice now can be invoked by specifying demuxer and args as in:

    mpv avdevice://demuxer:args

The args are passed as filename to libavformat. When using libavdevice
demuxers, their actual meaning is highly implementation specific. They
don't refer to actual filenames.

Note:

libavdevice is disabled by default. There is one problem: libavdevice
pulls in libavfilter, which in turn causes symbol clashes with mpv
internals. The problem is that libavfilter includes a mplayer filter
bridge, which is used to interface with a set of nearly unmodified
mplayer filters copied into libavfilter. This filter bridge uses the
same symbol names as mplayer/mpv's filter chain, which results in symbol
clashes at link-time.

This can be prevented by building ffmpeg with --disable-filter=mp, but
unfortunately this is not the default.

This means linking to libavdevice (which in turn forces linking with
libavfilter by default) must be disabled. We try doing this by compiling
a test file that defines one of the clashing symbols (vf_mpi_clear).

To enable libavdevice input, ffmpeg should be built with the options:

    --disable-filter=mp

and mpv with:

    --enable-libavdevice

Originally, I tried to auto-detect it. But the resulting complications
in configure did't seem worth the trouble.

wm4 4873b32c59 Rename directories, move files (step 2 of 2)
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.

The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.

Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)

wm4 d4bdd0473d Rename directories, move files (step 1 of 2) (does not compile)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.

Renames the following directories:
    libaf -> audio/filter
    libao2 -> audio/out
    libvo -> video/out
    libmpdemux -> demux

Split libmpcodecs:
    vf* -> video/filter
    vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
    mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
    ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode

libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.

Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.

sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).

Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
