Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
Convert them to zigzag order, as the rest of them are.
When I was adding support for 10-bit DNxHD, I just copy-pasted the
missing quant matrices from the spec. Now it turns out the existing
matrices in dnxhddata.c were in zigzag order. This resulted in wrong
quantization for 10-bit DNxHD. The attached patch fixes the problem by
converting 10-bit quant matrices to zigzag order.

Freeze picture release should be set to 1 when we're responding to a
fast update request. For simplicity we set it for all intra frames,
including those that starts a GOP.
Fixes issue where Tandberg MXP1700 does not recover from packet loss
state since it's waiting for the freeze picture relase indication.

Ref H.261 recommendation section 4.2.1.3, setting the still image flag
to 1 disables still image mode. Some decoders require this in order to
decode the bitstream as normal video.
Fixes H.261 calls to Cisco E20.
Also, reserved (aka spare) bits should be set to 1 unless specified
otherwise.

The encoder uses almost none of the mpegvideo infrastructure, only some
fields from MpegEncContext.
The FATE results change because now an all-zero quant matrix is written
into the file. Since it is not used for anything for ljpeg, this should
not be a problem.
QuickTime will play multiple audio tracks concurrently if this flag is
set for multiple audio tracks. And if no subtitle track has this flag
set, QuickTime will show no subtitles in the subtitle menu.

This allows us to remove FF_IDCT_WMV2, which serves no practical purpose
other than to be able to select the WMV2 IDCT for MPEG (or vice versa)
and get corrupt output.
Fate tests for all wmv2-related tests change, because (for some obscure
reason) they forced use of the MPEG IDCT. You would get the same changes
previously by not using -idct simple in the fate test (or replacing it
with -idct auto).
