[FFmpeg-cvslog] avcodec: add API for automatic handling of icc profiles

[Niklas Haas]

ffmpeg | branch: master | Niklas Haas <git at haasn.dev> | Tue Jun 28 15:10:00 2022 +0200| [e1a0f2df3d8c150016bfa2f0dfde7d6b56c6bf3f] | committer: Niklas Haas

avcodec: add API for automatic handling of icc profiles

This functionally already exists, but as pointed out in #9672 and #9673,
requiring users to manually include filters is clumsy, error-prone and
hard to use together with tools like ffplay.

To streamline ICC profile support, add a new AVCodecContext flag to
globally enable reading and writing ICC profiles, automatically, for all
appropriate media types.

Note that this commit only includes the new API. The implementation is
split off to separate commits for readability.

+  Add the AV_CODEC_FLAG2_ICC_PROFILES flag to AVCodecContext, to enable
+  automatic reading and writing of embedded ICC profiles in image files.
+  The "flags2" option now supports the corresponding flag "icc_profiles".
