Up until now, ff_alloc_packet2() has a min_size parameter:
It is supposed to be a lower bound on the final size of the packet
to allocate. If it is not too far from the upper bound (namely,
if it is at least half the upper bound), then ff_alloc_packet2()
already allocates the final, already refcounted packet; if it is
not, then the packet is not refcounted and its data only points to
a buffer owned by the AVCodecContext (in this case, the packet will
be made refcounted in encode_simple_internal() in libavcodec/encode.c).
The goal of this was to avoid data copies and intermediate buffers
if one has a precise lower bound.
Yet those encoders for which precise lower bounds exist have recently
been switched to ff_get_encode_buffer() (which automatically allocates
final buffers), leaving only two encoders to actually set the min_size
to something else than zero (namely aliaspixenc and hapenc). Both of
these encoders use a very low lower bound that is not helpful in any
nontrivial case.
This commit therefore removes the min_size parameter as well as the
codepath in ff_alloc_packet2() for the allocation of final buffers.
Furthermore, the function has been renamed to ff_alloc_packet() and
moved to encode.h alongside ff_get_encode_buffer().

Given that the AVCodec.next pointer has now been removed, most of the
AVCodecs are not modified at all any more and can therefore be made
const (as this patch does); the only exceptions are the very few codecs
for external libraries that have a init_static_data callback.

Deprecated in 40cf1bbacc.
(The currently disabled filter vf_mcdeint and vf_uspp were users of
this field; they have not been changed, so that whoever wants to fix
them can see the state of these filters when they were disabled.)

This already makes several encoders (namely FLV, H.263, H.263+ and
RealVideo 1.0 and 2.0 and SVQ1) that use this init-threadsafe.
It also makes the Snow encoder init-threadsafe; it was already marked
as such since commit d49210788b, because
it was thought to be harmless if one and the same object was
initialized by multiple threads at the same time.

Several encoders used code like the following to check for the amount of
bytes left in a PutBitContext:
pb->buf_end - pb->buf - (put_bits_count(pb) >> 3)
Besides the fact that using the pointers directly might pose
a maintainence burden in the future this also leads to suboptimal code:
The above code reads all three pointers (buf, buf_ptr and buf_end), but
touching buf is unnecessary and switching to put_bytes_left()
automatically fixes this.

This function is so extremely simple that it is preferable to make it
inline rather than deal with all the complications arising from it being
an exported symbol.
Keep avpriv_align_put_bits() around until the next major bump to
preserve ABI compatibility.
This option allows more control over the use of intra macroblocks in
predictive frames.
By using '-intra_penalty max', intra macroblocks are never used in
predictive frames.
It is useful for glitch artists to generate input material. This option
allows them to split and merge two video files while maintaining fluid
motion from the second video without having intra macroblocks restoring
chunks of the first video.

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 stats are a superset of the quality factor, also allowing the picture type and encoder "PSNR" stats to be exported
This also replaces the native by fixed little endian order for the affected side data

svq1enc: Do not entangle coded_frame
Conflicts:
libavcodec/svq1enc.c
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michael@niedermayer.cc>
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.
Signed-off-by: Vittorio Giovara <vittorio.giovara@gmail.com>
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.
