The reasoning behind this addition is that various third party
applications are interested in getting some motion information out of a
video "for free" when it is available.
It was considered to export other information as well (such as the intra
information about the block, or the quantization) but the structure
might have ended up into a half full-generic, half full of codec
specific cruft. If more information is necessary, it should either be
added in the "flags" field of the AVMotionVector structure, or in
another side-data.
This commit also includes an example exporting them in a CSV stream.

Some encoders (e.g. flac) need to send side data when there is no more
data to be output. This enables them to output a packet with no data in
it, only side data.

contact me or ffmpeg-devel.
I am happy to revert this removial if theres someone considering to
maintain this code.

The constant may change in libavutil but the library may be compiled
against an older version, thus rejecting a value which is otherwise
supported by the new libavutil.
INT_MAX is used here to denote the max allowed value for a sample format.
The opt-test code is changed to provide a valid reference example.

We have a qemu based fate alpha client. And various failures
on alpha have previously pointed to issues in generic C code.
Thus IMHO it makes sense to keep alpha code as long as someone
is willing to do the little bit of maintaince it needs

XvMC has long ago been superseded by newer acceleration APIs, such as
VDPAU, and few downstreams still support it. Furthermore XvMC is not
implemented within the hwaccel framework, but requires its own specific
code in the MPEG-1/2 decoder, which is a maintenance burden.
