Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.

Modifying global header extradata in encode_frame is an API violation
and only happens to work currently because mov writes its header
at the end of the file.
Heavily based off of a patch from 2012 by Nicolas George.

This option is only used by mpegvideoenc, and xvid.
It is a very codec-specific option, so deprecate the global variant.

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.

The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

This is necessary to preserve the quality information currently exported
with coded_frame. Add the new side data to every encoder that needs it,
and use it in avconv.

Allocating coded_frame is what most encoders do anyway, so it makes
sense to always allocate and free it in a single place. Moreover a lot
of encoders freed the frame with av_freep() instead of the correct API
av_frame_free().
This bring uniformity to encoder behaviour and prevents applications
from erroneusly accessing this field when not allocated. Additionally
this helps isolating encoders that export information with coded_frame,
and heavily simplifies its deprecation.

The old implementation is unusable due to changes in the Xvid API.

Also break some long lines, remove codec function placeholder comments
and add spaces in sample/pixel format lists.

Adding _POSIX_C_SOURCE to CPPFLAGS globally produces all sorts of problems
since it causes certain system functions to be hidden on some (BSD) systems.
The solution is to only add the flag on systems that really require it, i.e.
glibc-based ones.
This change makes BSD systems compile out-of-the-box without the need for
adding specific flags manually. It also allows dropping a number of flags
set manually on a file-per-file basis, but were only present to work around
breakage introduced by the presence of _POSIX_C_SOURCE.
Also add _XOPEN_SOURCE to CPPFLAGS for glibc systems. We use XSI extensions
in several places already, so it is preferable to define it globally instead
of littering source files with individual #defines only needed for glibc.
