Removing ff_cmap_read_palette from lavf/iff.c requires that the decoder
handles IFF-PBM uncompressed files by itself, since it can't be passed
to CODEC_ID_RAWVIDEO anymore.

But that isn't a problem, because old lavf/iff.c doesn't pass the data
at all to lavc/iff.c in that case.

However a new lavf/iff.c could pass to old lavc/iff.c in that case it
won't decode uncompressed IFF-PBM files anymore. It would threat them as
IFF-ILBM uncompressed and therefore call the decodeplane8 version which
will result in corrupted image data.

The only way I see to fix this is to increment the lavc version number
or to add the new IFF_EXTRA_CONTEXT_SIZE stuff, also. What do you suggest?
