Since initially committed in 2004, this codec has only been touched
for maintenanance.  Functionally, it contains no novel ideas and
its intended audience is better served by existing mature codecs.

Add an APIchanges entry for the av_pkt_dump2 and av_pkt_dump_log2
functions, and a changelog entry for the apple http live streaming
protocol handler.

Since neither of them got a minor bump at commit time, but were
applied before the jv demuxer, they all can be considered added
in this minor version.

and AVIOContext, (public), and deprecating the originals.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.

In the FAQ section "How do I encode single pictures into movies?", use
-s for generating symbolic links with the ln command.

The script was generating hard links, which is not likely what it was
supposed to do.

Fix issue 2488.

As a side effect of the last commit, avcodec_open() now calls it automatically,
so there is no longer any need for clients to call it.
Instead they should set AVCodecContext.thread_count.

avcodec_thread_free() is deprecated, and will be removed from avcodec.h at the
next MAJOR libavcodec bump.

Rename the functions to ff_thread_init/free, since they are now internal.
Wrappers are provided to maintain API compatibility.
