As documented in interface-changes.rst. This makes it much easier to
follow what the heck is going on.
Whether this is adequate for real-world use is unknown.
Slightly simpler, and removes the need to pre-read all subtitle packets.
This still does the subtitle charset conversion on the packet level
(instead converting when parsing the file), so in theory this still
could provide a way to change the charset at runtime. But maybe even
this should be removed, as FFmpeg is somewhat likely to get its own
charset detection and conversion mechanism in the future. (Would have
to keep the subtitle file in memory to allow changing the charset on
the fly, I guess.)
This loaded external .ass files via libass. libavformat's .ass reader is
now good enough, so use that instead.
Apparently libavformat still doesn't support fonts embedded into text
.ass files, but support for this has been accidentally broken in mpv for
a while anyway. (And only 1 person complained.)
uchardet is written in C++, and thus doesn't appreciate the value of
using static strings, and internally stores the guessed charset as
allocated std::string. Add a minimal hack to deal with this. (I don't
appreciate that the code is potentially harder to understand by
returning either a static or allocated string, but I do appreciate for
not having to litter the existing code with strdups.)
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
