When attempting to re-enable the AltiVec support it was noticed
that we need to undefine _POSIX_C_SOURCE to appease the headers
for ff_get_cpu_flags_ppc() to be able to compile.

MOVW is ARMv7 way to load constant:
* movw, or move wide, will move a 16-bit constant into a register,
implicitly zeroing the top 16 bits of the target register.
* movt, or move top, will move a 16-bit constant into the top half
of a given register without altering the bottom 16 bits
To load 32 bit constant, movw lower16; movt upper16; is better than
ldr if available, because:
While this approach takes two instructions, it does not require any
extra space to store the constant so both the movw/movt method and the
ldr method will end up using the same amount of memory. Memory
bandwidth is precious in and the movw/movt approach avoids an extra
read on the data side, not to mention the read could have missed the
cache.
But here it is armv6 optimization, so that we have to use ldr.

The thread_type API allows you to request only FF_THREAD_FRAME (instead of
FRAME | SLICE), but it was being ignored.
We don't implement both of them at the same time, so there isn't an effect
on current codecs, except that you can request no kinds of threading now
(a bit useless).

As previously discussed, the CrystalHD hardware returns exceptionally
useless information about interlaced h.264 content - to the extent
that it's not possible to distinguish most MBAFF and PAFF content until
it's too late.
In an attempt to compensate for this, I'm introducing two mechanisms:
1) Peeking at the picture number of the next picture
The hardware provides a capability to peek the next picture number. If
it is the same as the current picture number, then we are clearly dealing
with two fields and not a frame or fieldpair.
If this always worked, it would be all we need, but it's not guaranteed
to work. Sometimes, the next picture may not be decoded sufficiently
for the number to be known; alternately, a corruption in the stream may
cause the hardware to refuse to return the number even if the next
intact frame is decoded. In either case, the query will return 0.
If we are unable to peek the next picture number, we assume that the
picture is a frame/fieldpair and return it accordingly. If that turns
out to be incorrect, we discard the second field, and the user has
to live with the glitch. In testing, false detection can occur for
the first couple of seconds, and then the pipeline stabalizes and
we get correct detection.
2) Use the h264_parser to detect when individual input fields have
been combined into an output fieldpair.
I have multiple PAFF samples where this behaviour is detected. The
peeking mechanism described above will correctly detect that the
output is a fieldpair, but we need to know what the input type was
to ensure pipeline stability (only return one output frame per input
frame).
If we find ourselves with an output fieldpair, yet the input picture
type was a field, as reported by the parser, then we are dealing with
this case, and can make sure not to return anything on the next
decode() call.
Taken together, these allow us to remove the hard-coded hacks for
different h.264 types, and we can clearly describe the conditions
under which we can trust the hardware's claim that content is
interlaced.

Now that we know the type of the input picture, we have to bring
that information to the output picture to help identify its type.
We do this by adding a field to the opaque_list node.

As the hardware is unreliable, we will have to use the h.264 parser
to identify whether an input picture is a field or a frame. This
change loads the parser and extracts the picture type.

In preparation for adding additional fields to the node, return
the node instead of the pts value. This requires the caller to
free the node.

I found another MBAFF sample where the input:output pattern is
the same as mpeg2 and vc1 (fieldpair input, individual field output).
While I'm not sure how you can output individual fields from MBAFF,
if I apply the mpeg2/vc1 handling to this file, it plays correctly.
So, this changes the detection algorithm to handle the known cases.
Whitespace will be fixed in a separate change.

Current keyframes data parser unconditionally rewind metadata to the end
at the end of function. As result ALL metadata located after keyframes
index not parsed,
and as metadata object can have ANY placement inside metadata it can
lead to unpredictable result
(bitrate can not be found, etc.). As result FLV movie will not play at
all in such situation.
