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.

This refactor splits up the main mediacodec decode loop into two
send/receive helpers, which are then used to rewrite the receive_frame
callback and take full advantage of the new decoding api. Since we
can now request packets on demand with ff_decode_get_packet(), the
fifo buffer is no longer necessary and has been removed.
This change was motivated by behavior observed on certain Android TV
devices, featuring hardware mpeg2/h264 decoders which also deinterlace
content (to produce multiple frames per field). Previously, this code
caused buffering issues because queueInputBuffer() was always invoked
before each dequeueOutputBuffer(), even though twice as many output
buffers were being generated.
With this patch, the decoder will always attempt to drain new frames
first before sending more data into the underlying codec.

Replicates the logic used in the wrap_hw_buffer path to wrap_sw_buffer
as well.
Fixes decoding issues observed on AMLogic devices with
OMX.amlogic.mpeg2.decoder.awesome, where the decoder would spit out a
constant stream of "mPtsRecoveryCount" errors and decoded frames were
returned in the incorrect order.

Increase buffer dequeue timeout when the codec needs to be drained as it
could happen that no input buffer is available when we receive a null
packet for the first time (meaning we are unable to signal end of stream
and mark the codec as draining).
Fixes potential loss of last frames after sending a null packet.
Allows to select a codec (encoder or decoder) only if it supports a
specific profile.
Adds ff_AMediaCodecProfile_getProfileFromAVCodecContext to convert an
AVCodecContext profile to a MediaCodec profile. It only supports H264
for now.
The codepath using MediaCodecList.findDecoderForFormat() (Android >= 5.0)
has been dropped as this method does not allow to select a decoder
compatible with a specific profile.
Codec width/height restrictions seem hardcoded at the OMX level and
seem arbitrary. Bypassing those restrictions allows a device to decode
streams at higher resolutions.
For example it allows a Nexus 5 to decode h264 streams with a resolution
higher than 1920x1080.
