It is not used in any filters currently and is inherently evil. If
passing binary data to filters is required in the future, it should be
done with some AVOptions-based system.
While here:
- add missing .version and .category,
- make .class_name consistent across filters,
- align declarations.

avfilter_default_filter_name() is supposed to access an AVFilterContext
struct, if used with a private struct it will cause a crash since it will
access fields which are non defined in the private struct.
The function is modelled after av_default_item_name(), and will print the
name of the instance filter if defined, otherwise the name of the filter.
This allows to show the instance name in the log, which is useful when
debugging complex filter graphs.
The old implementation, upon receiving a frame on the main
input, would request an overlay frame if necessary. This could
generate an infinite recursion, off-by-one frame mismatch and
other harmful effects, especially it the split filter is present
upgraph.
The new implementation uses the linear approach: it uses two
buffer queues for frames received out of turn and forwards
request_frame calls to the input where a frame is necessary.
Signal that it can output a frame when there are frames on the main
input and EOF on the overlay input, but a frame is buffered -- e.g.
single picture overlay.
Based on the work of Mark Himsley <mark@mdsh.com>.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.

Compute the outpicref PTS in start_frame(), since it is required for
comparing that value with the value of the overpicref.
