[MPlayer-dev-eng] patch for PNG output

[Vincent Chapdelaine-Couture]

Hi,

We propose a simple change to the PNG output module to create
concatenated PNG data in a single file instead of multiple files.

Currently, there is no way to extract a stream of "lossless high
quality" images from mplayer without saving the images to disk. All the 
output modules generating images are either lossy (jpeg, gif89a) or saved 
in single files (png, pnm, tga). Having a stream of PNG is ideal for 
automatic processing of the images.

A new option is added to the "-vo png" module:

single=<PNG filename>

Eg./ mplayer -vo png:z=0:single=<PNG filename> my_movie.mpg

This can also be useful to pipe the mplayer output in PNG format to
another program.

Eg./ mplayer -vo png:z=1:single=/dev/stdout my_movie.mpg | <some program
reading PNG data>

Note that we could instead have created a new module to output an 
animated PNG file instead (such as vo_mng.c for the MNG standard, or 
vo_apng.c for APNG). However, these standards (APNG and MNG) are not well 
supported and this patch is both simple and lightweight.
