avcodec/mediacodecdec: add workaround for buggy amlogic mpeg2 decoder
I tested the previous mediacodec changes on seven different Android TV devices, with both mpeg2 and h264 content. All except one worked as expected. The exception was the MiBox3 running Android 6.0.1, where playback would freeze on a frame every few seconds. I tested two other AMLogic devices with newer Android versions that did not show the same problem. H264 decoding on the MiBox3 was also not affected, so this workaround applies only to OMX.amlogic.mpeg2.decoder.awesome on Android API22. There is a rumor that Xiaomi is planning to release Android Oreo for the MiBox3, so I will revisit in a few months to confirm whether this is specific to os/driver version or the chipset used in that device.
