The buffer pool has to atomically add and remove entries from the linked
list of available buffers. This was done by removing the entire list
with a CAS operation, working on it, and then setting it back again
(using a retry-loop in case another thread was doing the same thing).
This could effectively cause memory leaks: while a thread was working on
the buffer list, other threads would allocate new buffers, increasing
the pool's total size. There was no real leak, but since these extra
buffers were not needed, but not free'd either (except when the buffer
pool was destroyed), this had the same effects as a real leak. For some
reason, growth was exponential, and could easily kill the process due
to OOM in real-world uses.
Fix this by using a mutex to protect the list operations. The fancy
way atomics remove the whole list to work on it is not needed anymore,
which also avoids the situation which was causing the leak.

Also add no-op fallbacks when threading is disabled.
This helps keeping the code clean if Libav is compiled for targets
without threading. Since we assume that no threads of any kind are used
in such configurations, doing nothing is ok by definition.
Based on a patch by wm4 <nfxjfg@googlemail.com>.
This doesn't add any dependency on library internals, since this
only is a static inline function that gets built into each of the
calling functions - this is only to reduce the code duplication.

gmtime isn't thread safe in general. In msvcrt (which lacks gmtime_r),
the buffer used by gmtime is thread specific though.
One call to localtime is left in avconv_opt.c, where thread safety
shouldn't matter (instead of making avconv depend on the libavutil
internal header).

This allows writing most code as if they always are is available.
These are ok to use from other libraries even though it's not a
public header, since they only provide an inline declaration, and
doesn't add an actual dependency on lavu internals. (This can be
considered more a build system compatibility fallback than a
libavutil feature.)

Since av_gettime() is used in a number of places where actual
real time clock is required, the monotonic clock introduced in
ebef9f5a5 would have consequences that are hard to handle. Instead
split it into a separate function that can be used in the cases
where only relative time is desired.
On platform where no monotonic clock is available, the difference
between the two av_gettime functions is not clear, and one could
mistakenly use the relative clock where an absolute one is
required. Therefore add an offset, to make it evident that the
time returned from av_gettime_relative never is actual current
real time, even though it is based on av_gettime.
Based on a patch by Olivier Langlois.

In order to support metadata being set as an option, it's necessary to be able
to set dictionaries as values.

The rationale is that you have a packed format in form
<greyscale sample> <alpha sample> <greyscale sample> <alpha sample>
and shortening greyscale to 'G' might make one thing about Greenscale instead.
An alias pixel format and color space name are provided for compatibility.
libavutil/cpu-test prints raw and effective cpu flags to STDERR. Detected
cpu flags can be useful for debugging fate errors.
No comparison of the result against a expected result since that would
require fate config specific references.
I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples that
hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame()) or
specifically in butterflies_float_c() / ff_butterflies_float_vfp() for the
same sample AAC stream:
Before After
Mean StdDev Mean StdDev Confidence Change
Audio decode 1542.8 43.7 1470.5 41.5 100.0% +4.9%
butterflies_float 130.0 11.9 70.2 12.1 100.0% +85.2%
