Deprecate AVStream.side_data and its helpers in favor of the AVStream's
codecpar.coded_side_data.
This will considerably simplify the propagation of global side data to decoders
and from encoders. Instead of having to do it inside packets, it will be
available during init().
Global and frame specific side data will therefore be distinct.

It is of no value to the user, because every muxer can always
be flushed with a NULL packet. As its documentation shows
("If not set, the muxer will not receive a NULL packet in
the write_packet function") it is actually an internal flag
that has been publically exposed because there was no internal
flags field for output formats for a long time. But now there is
and so use it by replacing the public flag with a private one.

It was added in cb114ed464 with the comment
"This will allow fixing several bugs with the -shortest option".
Since
* there is no explanation of what these bugs are
* libavformat is not the place to work around ffmpeg CLI bugs
* there is no indication that this feature is actually in use
deprecate it without replacement.
They are currently non-const for reasons unknown, although
avio_write() accepts a const buffer.

Users can't make anything with its content.
Making it opaque might allow us to avoid one level of indirection.

According to its documentation it returns "pts of the last muxed packet
+ its duration", but the value it actually returns right now is
(possibly guessed) dts after muxer-internal bitstream filtering (if
any).
This function was added for ffmpeg.c, but it is not used there anymore.
Since the value it returns is ill-defined and so inappropriate for any
serious use, deprecate it.
