Make it clear that there is no timing-dependent behavior. In particular,
there is no state in which both input and output are denied, and where
you have to wait for a while yourself to make progress (apparently some
hardware decoders like to do this).
Avoid wording that makes references to time. It shouldn't be mistaken
for some kind of asynchronous API (like POSIX read() can return EAGAIN
if there is no new input yet). It's a state machine, so try to use
appropriate terms.

Allow all struct fields to be accessed directly, as long as they're
public.
Before this change, many fields were "public", but could be accessed via
AVOption only. This meant they were effectively not public, but were
present for documentation purposes, which was incredibly confusing at
best.
No deprecation guards, because the old decode API (for which this field
is needed) doesn't have any either.
This field should be removed together with the old decode calls.

This decoder can decode all existing SpeedHQ formats (SHQ0–5, 7, and 9),
including correct decoding of the alpha channel.
1080p is decoded in 142 fps on one core of my i7-4600U (2.1 GHz Haswell),
about evenly split between bitstream reader and IDCT. There is currently
no attempt at slice or frame threading, even though the format trivially
supports both.
NewTek very helpfully provided a full set of SHQ samples, as well as
source code for an SHQ2 encoder (not included) and assistance with
understanding some details of the format.
Certain hardware decoding APIs are not guaranteed to be thread-safe, so
having the user access decoded hardware surfaces while the decoder is
running in another thread can cause failures (this is mainly known to
happen with DXVA2).
For such hwaccels, only allow the decoding thread to run while the user
is inside a lavc decode call (avcodec_send_packet/receive_frame).
Currently, the new decoding API is pretty much just a wrapper around the
old deprecated one. This is problematic, since it interferes with making
full use of the flexibility added by the new API. The old API should
also be removed at some future point.
Reorganize the code so that the new send_packet/receive_frame functions
call the actual decoding directly and change the old deprecated
avcodec_decode_* functions into wrappers around the new API.
The new internal API for decoders is now changing as well. Before this
commit, it mirrors the public API, so the decoders need to implement
send_packet() and receive_frame() callbacks. This turns out to require
awkward constructs in both the decoders and the generic code. After this
commit, the decoders only implement the receive_frame() callback and
call a new internal function, ff_decode_get_packet() to obtain input
data, in the same manner to how the bitstream filters now work.
avcodec will now always make a reference to the input packet, which means
that non-refcounted input packets will be copied. Keeping the previous
behaviour, where this copy could sometimes be avoided, would make the
code significantly more complex and fragile for only dubious gains,
since packets are typically small and everyone who cares about
performance should use refcounted packets anyway.
Decode the Image Data Section (which contains merged pictures).
Support RGB/A and Grayscale/A in 8bits and 16 bits per channel.
Support uncompress and rle decompression in Image Data Section.
