Most option values are simply unused or ignored and in practice the
majory of codecs only need to check whether to enable rle or not.
Add appropriate codec private options which better expose the allowed
features.

This patch moves the pointer validity check outside the macro,
and silences the -Waddress observed with GCC 5.2.
Note that this changes the error message slightly, from:
"bad option..." to "Error parsing option...".

When forwarding the frame type information, by default x264 can
decide which kind of keyframe output, add an option to force it
to output IDR frames in to support use-cases such as preparing
the content for segmented streams formats.
x264 build 147 adds the native support for NV21.
Useful to avoid additional pixel format conversion when encoding
from a wide range of capture devices, Android among those.

Currently, when forcing an I frame, via API, or via the ffmpeg cli,
using -force_key_frames, we still let x264 decide what sort of
keyframe to user. In some cases, it is useful to be able to force
an IDR frame, e.g. for cutting streams.

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.

This parameter can be used to inform the allocation code about how much
downsizing might occur, and can be used to optimize how to allocate the
packet

The stats are a superset of the quality factor, also allowing the picture type and encoder "PSNR" stats to be exported
This also replaces the native by fixed little endian order for the affected side data
AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_FACTOR is left as a synonym of AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_STATS

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.
