Re-license almost all the playback modules to LGPLv2.1+ with
authorization from their respective contributors (230+)
This includes:
- access, codec, packetizers, demux
- audio filters, audio mixers, audio output
- video filters, video chroma, video output
- text renderers
- XML parser
- ARM NEON and SSE2 optimisations (mostly for chromas and filters)
Some modules are not concerned:
- BDA and DShow access modules because Manol Manolov is AWOL
- Real RTSP, because it is derived from Xine
- x264 and t140 because they are encoders only
- DLL Loader, because it is derived from MPlayer
- DTS packetizer, because Jon Lech Johansen is AWOL
- Shine and WMAfixed, because they are derived from Rockbox
- Real demuxer, as it is derived from MPlayer and Wang Bo is AWOL
- MPC demuxer, as Yavor Doganov is AWOL
- Tivo demuxer, because it is derived from an MPlayer fork
- Playlist demuxer, (WPL and ZPL parts missing), because suheaven is AWOL
- iOS audio output and video display, because author refuses the license change
- Equalizer and compressor, because Ronald Wright is AWOL
- Mono, Headphone and Dolby, because author refuses the license change
- hqdn3d and yadif, because they are from MPlayer/libavfilter
- remoteosd, because it derives from RealVNC code
- MMX optimisations, because Ollie Lho, from SiS, is AWOL
- Rotate, because it depends on GPL motion
Nota Bene:
- Some modules depend on GPL-only libraries, a LGPL module does not mean
that the resulting binary module will be LGPL.
Libraries affected would include liba52, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread,
faad2, libdca, libmad, libmpeg2, libpostproc, SRC, sid, zvbi and probably others.
The configuration system cannot store both a static list and a dynamic
one (and AFAIK, it never could). It only makes to use either a static
list or a callback.
This also fixes an issue where VLC would segfault if it could not
initialize the card.

From 7.6 to 7.9, the method for setting video modes et al was changed,
in a way that is neither backwards nor forwards compatible. Even though
the 7.9 SDK includes some backwards-compatible headers for emulating
older APIs, they are unfortunately not a drop-in replacement, since they
add version numbers to struct names et al. Thus, there is no simple method
of maintaining source-level compatibility with both APIs (even though a
VLC compiled against the 7.6 SDK most likely would work if moved to a
machine with 7.9 driver), and given the choice, we should support the
newest API, as the older SDK isn't even downloadable anymore.
Thus, update unconditionally to the new API, and hope Blackmagic won't
change things too often in the future.

Adds a driver for the BlackMagic DeckLink series of SDI cards (input only).
It requires BlackMagic's proprietary (but free-to-download) SDK to compile
and run. I've only tested it on Linux -- the Windows API is very similar but
not identical, so some adjustments will probably have to happen if anybody
wants this to work on Windows. (Windows users can, AFAIK, already access the
card via DirectShow, though.) It supports multiple cards, all the various
A/V inputs and video modes including setting field dominance and multichannel
input (2, 8 or 16 channels).
All testing has been with a DeckLink HD Extreme 3, which I have very
graciously been given access to by Frikanalen.
