This removes all references to AVCodecContext.dsp_mask and marks
it for eviction at the next version bump. It has been superseded
by av_set_cpu_flag_mask() which, unlike this field, works everywhere.

Before this, they were only added to the delayed release queue and not
freed until later. This could lead to unnecessary memory use or buffer
exhaustion.

Calling avcodec_flush_buffers() and then avcodec_decode_video2() with
a 0-sized packet (to get remaining buffered frames) could incorrectly
return an old frame from before the avcodec_flush_buffers() call. Add
a loop in ff_thread_flush() to zero the got_frame field of each thread
to ensure the old frames will not be returned.

In most places where it's used, it's as a pointless write-only field.
Only rv10 decoder actually reads from it, but it stores some internal
version info in it. There is no reason for it to be in a public field.
The extra thread added in {frame_}*thread_init was not taken into
account. Explicitly sets thread_count to 1 if only one CPU core was
detected. Also fixes two typos in comments.
Some external codecs have their own code to determine the best number
of threads. This number is not necessary the number of cpu cores.
Thread_count will be only 0 if the codec has CODEC_CAP_AUTO_THREADS.
Since the conditions for the actual usage are more specific a less
preferred method can be used. This would cause compilation errors
because necessary headers are not included.
The format is a per-frame property, having it in AVFrame simplify the
operation of extraction of that information, since avoids the need to
access the codec/stream context.
width and height are per-frame properties, setting these values in
AVFrame simplify the operation of extraction of that information,
since avoids the need to check the codec/stream context.
The sample aspect ratio is a per-frame property, so it makes sense to
define it in AVFrame rather than in the codec/stream context.
Simplify application-level sample aspect ratio information extraction,
and allow further simplifications.
Use sched_getaffinity to determine the number of logical CPUs.
Limits the number of threads to 16 since slice threading of H.264
seems to be buggy with more than 16 threads.
This was intended as an optimisation for skipped blocks in MPEG2
P-frames and never used elsewhere. Removing this "optimisation"
speeds up MPEG2 decoding by 1-2% (ARM Cortex-A9).

The next call to decode() will update from an invalid index, which will
either lead to a memcpy() where dest==src (2 threads), or lead to a
crash (>2 threads).

This fixes a compile error on mingw32 when using p->thread
directly (as if it were a pointer) to track thread existence,
because the type is opaque and may be a non-pointer.

Adding the thread count in frame level multithreading to has_b_frames
as an additional delay causes more problems than it solves.
For example inconsistent behaviour during timestamp calculation in
libavformat.
Thread count and frame level multithreading are both set by the user.
If the additional delay caused by frame level multithreading needs
to be considered in the calling code it has all information to take
it into account.
Should it become necessary to calculate a maximum delay inside
libavcodec it should be exported as its own field and not reusing
an existing field.
Based on a patch by Michael Niedermayer.

A new field, AVCodecContext.internal is used to hold a new struct
AVCodecInternal, which has private fields that are not codec-specific and are
used by general libavcodec functions.
Moved internal_buffer, internal_buffer_count, and is_copy.
Replace our incomplete w32threads implementation with x264's pthreads
w32threads wrapper.

The thread_type API allows you to request only FF_THREAD_FRAME (instead of
FRAME | SLICE), but it was being ignored.
We don't implement both of them at the same time, so there isn't an effect
on current codecs, except that you can request no kinds of threading now
(a bit useless).

thread_count passed to ff_thread_init() is only used to set AVCodecContext.
thread_count, and can be removed. Instead move it to the legacy implementation
of avcodec_thread_init().
This also fixes the problem that calling avcodec_thread_init() with pthreads
enabled did not set it since ff1efc524c.

This moves setting the thread count to a minimum of 1 to
frame_thread_init(), allowing a value of zero to propagate
through to the codec if frame threading is not used. This
makes auto-threads work in libx264.

For intra codecs, ff_thread_finish_setup() is called before decoding starts
automatically. However, get_buffer can only be used before it's called, so
adding this requirement broke frame threading for them. Fixed by moving the
call until after get_buffer is finished.
