    ffmpeg: use new decode API · 8f6f2322

    This is a bit messy, mainly due to timestamp handling.
    
    decode_video() relied on the fact that it could set dts on a flush/drain
    packet. This is not possible with the old API, and won't be. (I think
    doing this was very questionable with the old API. Flush packets should
    not contain any information; they just cause a FIFO to be emptied.) This
    is replaced with checking the best_effort_timestamp for AV_NOPTS_VALUE,
    and using the suggested DTS in the drain case.
    
    The modified tests (fate-cavs and others) still fails due to dropping
    the last frame. This happens because the timestamp of the last frame
    goes backwards (ffprobe -show_frames shows the same thing). I suspect
    that this "worked" due to the best effort timestamp logic picking the
    DTS over the decreasing PTS. Since this logic is in libavcodec (where
    it probably shouldn't be), this can't be easily fixed. The timestamps
    of the cavs samples are weird anyway, so I chose not to fix it.
    
    Another strange thing is the timestamp handling in the video path of
    process_input_packet (after the decode_video() call). It looks like
    the code to increase next_dts and next_pts should be run every time
    a frame is decoded - but it's needed even if output is skipped.
