As a side effect of the last commit, avcodec_open() now calls it automatically,
so there is no longer any need for clients to call it.
Instead they should set AVCodecContext.thread_count.
avcodec_thread_free() is deprecated, and will be removed from avcodec.h at the
next MAJOR libavcodec bump.
Rename the functions to ff_thread_init/free, since they are now internal.
Wrappers are provided to maintain API compatibility.

The various avcodec_thread_init() functions are updated to return
immediately after setting avctx->thread_count. This allows -threads 0
to pass through to codecs. It also simplifies the usage for apps
using libavcodec.

processing with jobs > threads without wasting too much memory.
It also avoids needing a separate int array when the only additional data
the jobs needs is a single int running from 0 to count-1.

multithreaded/SMP encoding for MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4/H263
all pthread specific code is in pthread.c

the internal thread API is a simple AVCodecContext.execute() callback which executes a given function pointer with different arguments and returns after finishing all, that way no mutexes or other thread-mess is needed outside pthread.c
