This function returns the encoded data of a frame, one slice at a time
directly when that slice is encoded, instead of waiting for the full
frame to be done. However this field has a debatable usefulness, since
it looks like it is just a convoluted way to get data at lowest
possible latency, or a somewhat hacky way to store h263 in RFC-2190
rtp encapsulation.
Moreover when multi-threading is enabled (which is by default) the order
of returned slices is not deterministic at all, making the use of this
function not reliable at all (or at the very least, more complicated
than it should be).
So, for the reasons stated above, and being used by only a single encoder
family (mpegvideo), this field is deemed unnecessary, overcomplicated,
and not really belonging to libavcodec. Libavformat features a complete
implementation of RFC-2190, for any other case.

This side data type is meant to be added to AVStream side data.
A fallback track indicates an alternate track to use when the
current track can not be decoded for some reason. e.g. no
decoder available for codec.

Use the new fields directly instead of the ones from AVPicture.
This removes a layer of indirection which serves no pratical purpose
whatsoever, and will help in removing AVPicture structure completely
later.
Every subtitle encoder/decoder seamlessly points to the new arrays,
so it is possible to deprecate AVSubtitleRect.pict.

This commit shall introduce the first step of adding support for the
Daala next generation video codec to FFmpeg. Although still in
development, the codec is showing good progress and exchanging work
through IETF drafts. The companies behind Daala are also participating
in the Alliance for Open Media, so it's likely that whatever the result
any of these collaborations produce it's probable that elements from
Daala could be used in them, or perhaps this codec itself could be the
result.
Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in
practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement
for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and
to get rid of it.

This function can intrinsically not deal with codec profile fallback
(for H.264 Constrained Baseline especially), and was made redundant
by av_vdpau_bind_context().

Deprecate the now unused option, but temporarily retain the capability
to disable the now default behaviour.
Mention this change in the AVPacket documentation.

Move libavcodec managed objects from the public struct vaapi_context
to a new privately owned FFVAContext. This is done so that to clean up
and streamline the public structure, but also to prepare for new codec
support, thus requiring new internal data to be added in there.
The AVCodecContext.hwaccel_context, that holds the public vaapi_context,
shall no longer be accessed from within vaapi_*.c codec support files.

Currently, when forcing an I frame, via API, or via the ffmpeg cli,
using -force_key_frames, we still let x264 decide what sort of
keyframe to user. In some cases, it is useful to be able to force
an IDR frame, e.g. for cutting streams.

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.
