doc: reorganize developer.texi chapter hierarchy
Previously, the Developer Documentation <ffmpeg.org/developer.html>
contained a single chapter, "1. Developer Guide," with all content under
that single chapter. Thus the document structure was one level deeper
and more complicated than it needed to be.  It differed from similar
documents such as /faq.html, which have multiple chapters.

Eliminate the single chapter, and promote each section underneath to
chapter, and each subsection to section. Thus content and relative
structure remains the same, but the overall structure is simpler.
Anchors within the page remain the same.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • ffserver is a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation
