av_image_copy() accepts const uint8_t* const * as source;
lots of user have uint8_t* const * and therefore either
cast (the majority) or copy the array of pointers.
This commit changes this by adding a static inline wrapper
for av_image_copy() that casts between the two types
so that we do not need to add casts everywhere else.

These defines are also used in other contexts than just AVCodecContext
ones, e.g. in libavformat. Furthermore, given that these defines are
public, the AV-prefix is the right one, so deprecate (and not just move)
the FF-macros.

This change improves the performance and multicore scalability of the vp9
codec for streaming single-pass encoded videos by taking advantage of up
to 64 cores in the system. The current thread limit for ffmpeg codecs is 16
(MAX_AUTO_THREADS in pthread_internal.h) due to a limitation in H.264 codec
that prevents more than 16 threads being used.
Experiments show that increasing the thread limit to 64 for vp9 improves
the performance for encoding 4K raw videos for streaming by up to 47%
compared to 16 threads, and from 20-30% for 32 threads, with the same quality
as measured by the VMAF score.
Rationale for this change:
Vp9 uses tiling to split the video frame into multiple columns; tiles must
be at least 256 pixels wide, so there is a limit to how many tiles can be
used. The tiles can be processed in parallel, and more tiles mean more CPU
threads can be used. 4K videos can make use of 16 threads, and 8K videos
can use 32. Row-mt can double the number of threads so 64 threads can be used.

This is possible, because every given FFCodec has to implement
exactly one of these. Doing so decreases sizeof(FFCodec) and
therefore decreases the size of the binary.
Notice that in case of position-independent code the decrease
is in .data.rel.ro, so that this translates to decreased
memory consumption.

This increases type-safety by avoiding conversions from/through void*.
It also avoids the boilerplate "AVFrame *frame = data;" line

Up until now, codec.h contains both public and private parts
of AVCodec. This exposes the internals of AVCodec to users
and leads them into the temptation of actually using them
and forces us to forward-declare structures and types that
users can't use at all.
This commit changes this by adding a new structure FFCodec to
codec_internal.h that extends AVCodec, i.e. contains the public
AVCodec as first member; the private fields of AVCodec are moved
to this structure, leaving codec.h clean.

Also move FF_CODEC_TAGS_END as well as struct AVCodecDefault.
This reduces the amount of files that have to include internal.h
(which comes with quite a lot of indirect inclusions), as e.g.
most encoders don't need it. It is furthemore in preparation
for moving the private part of AVCodec out of the public codec.h.

Given that the AVCodec.next pointer has now been removed, most of the
AVCodecs are not modified at all any more and can therefore be made
const (as this patch does); the only exceptions are the very few codecs
for external libraries that have a init_static_data callback.

This cap is currently used to mark multithreading-capable codecs that
wrap external libraries with their own multithreading code. The name is
highly confusing for our API users, since libavcodec ALWAYS handles
thread_count=0 (see commit message in previous commit). Therefore rename
the cap and update its documentation to make its meaning clear.
The old name is kept deprecated until next+1 major bump.
AV_CODEC_CAP_AUTO_THREADS was originally added in b4d44a45f9 to mark
codecs that spawn threads internally and are able to select an optimal
threads count by themselves (all such codecs are wrappers around
external libraries). It is used by lavc generic code to check whether it
should handle thread_count=0 itself or pass the zero directly to the
codec implementation. Within this meaning, it is clearly supposed to be
an internal cap rather than a public one, since from the viewpoint of a
libavcodec user, lavc ALWAYS handles thread_count=0. Whether it happens
in the generic code or within the codec internals is not a meaningful
difference for the caller.
External aspects of this flag will be dealt with in the following
commit.
If the alpha decoder init failed we presented the error message from the normal
decoder. This change should prevent such mistakes.

Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.
