PSEUDOPAL pixel formats are not paletted, but carried a palette with the
intention of allowing code to treat unpaletted formats as paletted. The
palette simply mapped the byte values to the resulting RGB values,
making it some sort of LUT for RGB conversion.
It was used for 1 byte formats only: RGB4_BYTE, BGR4_BYTE, RGB8, BGR8,
GRAY8. The first 4 are awfully obscure, used only by some ancient bitmap
formats. The last one, GRAY8, is more common, but its treatment is
grossly incorrect. It considers full range GRAY8 only, so GRAY8 coming
from typical Y video planes was not mapped to the correct RGB values.
This cannot be fixed, because AVFrame.color_range can be freely changed
at runtime, and there is nothing to ensure the pseudo palette is
updated.
Also, nothing actually used the PSEUDOPAL palette data, except xwdenc
(trivially changed in the previous commit). All other code had to treat
it as a special case, just to ignore or to propagate palette data.
In conclusion, this was just a very strange old mechnaism that has no
real justification to exist anymore (although it may have been nice and
useful in the past). Now it's an artifact that makes the API harder to
use: API users who allocate their own pixel data have to be aware that
they need to allocate the palette, or FFmpeg will crash on them in
_some_ situations. On top of this, there was no API to allocate the
pseuo palette outside of av_frame_get_buffer().
This patch not only deprecates AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL, but also makes
the pseudo palette optional. Nothing accesses it anymore, though if it's
set, it's propagated. It's still allocated and initialized for
compatibility with API users that rely on this feature. But new API
users do not need to allocate it. This was an explicit goal of this
patch.
Most changes replace AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL with FF_PSEUDOPAL. I
first tried #ifdefing all code, but it was a mess. The FF_PSEUDOPAL
macro reduces the mess, and still allows defining FF_API_PSEUDOPAL to 0.
Passes FATE with FF_API_PSEUDOPAL enabled and disabled. In addition,
FATE passes with FF_API_PSEUDOPAL set to 1, but with allocation
functions manually changed to not allocating a palette.
It works as a drop in replacement for the deprecated av_dup_packet(),
to ensure a packet is reference counted.

This is for applications which want to explicitly check for invalid
UTF-8 manually, and take actions that are better than dropping invalid
subtitles silently. (It's pretty much silent because sporadic avcodec
error messages are so common that you can't reasonably display them in a
prominent and meaningful way in a application GUI.)
This new side-data will contain info on how a packet is encrypted.
This allows the app to handle packet decryption.

This adds a way for an API user to transfer QP data and metadata without
having to keep the reference to AVFrame, and without having to
explicitly care about QP APIs. It might also provide a way to finally
remove the deprecated QP related fields. In the end, the QP table should
be handled in a very similar way to e.g. AV_FRAME_DATA_MOTION_VECTORS.
There are two side data types, because I didn't care about having to
repack the QP data so the table and the metadata are in a single
AVBufferRef. Otherwise it would have either required a copy on decoding
(extra slowdown for something as obscure as the QP data), or would have
required making intrusive changes to the codecs which support export of
this data.
The new side data types are added under deprecation guards, because I
don't intend to change the status of the QP export as being deprecated
(as it was before this patch too).
The default behavior of the mediacodec decoder before this commit
was to delay flushes until all pending hardware frames were
returned to the decoder. This was useful for certain types of
applications, but was unexpected behavior for others.
The new default behavior with this commit is now to execute
flushes immediately to invalidate all pending frames. The old
behavior can be enabled by setting delay_flush=1.
With the new behavior, video players implementing seek can simply
call flush on the decoder without having to worry about whether
they have one or more mediacodec frames still buffered in their
rendering pipeline. Previously, all these frames had to be
explictly freed (or rendered) before the seek/flush would execute.
The new behavior matches the behavior of all other lavc decoders,
reducing the amount of special casing required when using the
mediacodec decoder.

AVCodecContext.extra_hw_frames is added to the size of hardware frame
pools created by libavcodec for APIs which require fixed-size pools.
This allows the user to keep references to a greater number of frames
after decode, which may be necessary for some use-cases.
It is also added to the initial_pool_size value returned by
avcodec_get_hw_frames_parameters() if a fixed-size pool is required.

The "timeout" option name inherently clashes with the meaning of the
HTTP libavformat protocol option with the same name. Rename it after a
deprecation period to make it compatible with the HTTP one.
This will replace the 1024 character limited filename field. Compatiblity for
output contexts are provided by copying filename field to URL if URL is unset
and by providing an internal function for muxers to set both url and filename
at once.

The seek function can just return an error if seeking is unavailable,
but often this is too late. Add a flag that signals that the stream is
unseekable, and use it in HLS.
It was sort of optional before - if you didn't call it, networking was
initialized on demand, and an ugly warning was logged. Also, the doxygen
comments threatened that it would be made strictly required one day.
Make it explicitly optional. I would prefer to deprecate it fully, but
there might still be legitimate reasons to use this. But the average
user won't need it.
This is needed only for two reasons: to initialize TLS libraries like
OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and winsock.
OpenSSL and GnuTLS were already silently initialized on demand if the
global network init function was not called. They also have various
thread-safety acrobatics, which make concurrent initialization within
libavformat safe. In addition, the libraries are moving towards making
their global init functions safe, which removes all need for central
global init. In particular, GnuTLS 3.5.16 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g have been
found to have safe init functions. In all cases, they use internal
reference counters to avoid that the global uninit functions interfere
with concurrent uses of the library by other API users who called global
init.
winsock should be thread-safe as well, and maintains an internal
reference counter as well.
Since we still support ancient TLS libraries, which do not have this
fixed, and since it's unknown whether winsock and GnuTLS
reinitialization is costly in any way, don't deprecate the libavformat
functions yet.
Deprecate the entire library. Merged years ago to provide compatibility
with Libav, it remained unmaintained by the FFmpeg project and duplicated
functionality provided by libswresample.
In order to improve consistency and reduce attack surface, as well as to ease
burden on maintainers, it has been deprecated. Users of this library are asked
to migrate to libswresample, which, as well as providing more functionality,
is faster and has higher accuracy.

Use static mutexes instead of requiring a lock manager. The behavior
should be roughly the same before and after this change for API users
which did not set the lock manager at all (except that a minor memory
leak disappears).
Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.
