    lavc: Deprecate AVPicture structure and related functions · dca23ffb
    Vittorio Giovara authored
    This structure served as a bridge between data pointers and frames,
    but it suffers from several limitations:
    - it is not refcounted and data must be copied to every time
    - it cannot be expanded without ABI break due to being used on the stack
    - its functions are just wrappers to imgutils which add a layer of
      unneeded indirection, and maintenance burden
    - it allows hacks like embedding uncompressed data in packets
    - its use is often confusing to our users
    
    AVFrame provides a much better API, and, if a full blown frame is not
    needed, it is just as simple and more straightfoward to use data and
    linesize arrays directly.
