 - ffplay/ffprobe/ffserver renamed to avplay/avprobe/avserver

+- ffmpeg deprecated, added avconv, which is almost the same for now, except

+for a few incompatible changes in the options, which will hopefully make them

+easier to use. The changes are:

+    * -newvideo/-newaudio/-newsubtitle are gone, because they were redundant and

+      worked in a nonstandard way. -map is sufficient to add streams to output

+      files.

+    * -map now has slightly different and more powerful syntax.

+        + it's possible to specify stream type. E.g. -map 0:a:2 means 'third

+          audio stream'.

+        + omitting the stream index now maps all the streams of the given

+          type, not just the first. E.g. -map 0:s maps all the subtitle streams.

+        + colons (':') are used to separate file index/stream type/stream

+          index. Comma (',') is used to separate the sync stream. This is done

+          for consistency with other options.

+        + since -map can now match multiple streams, negative mappings were

+          introduced. Negative mappings disable some streams from an already

+          defined map. E.g. '-map 0 -map -0:a:1' means 'map everything except

+          for the second audio stream'.

+    * -vcodec/-acodec/-scodec are replaced by -c (or -codec), which

+      allows to precisely specify target stream(s) consistently with other

+      options. E.g. '-c:v libx264' sets the codec for all video streams,

+      '-c:a:0 libvorbis' sets the codec for the first audio stream and '-c

+      copy' copies all the streams.

+    * It is now possible to precisely specify which stream should an AVOption

+      apply to. See the manual for detailed explanation.

+    * -map_chapters now takes only an input file index and applies to the next

+      output file. This is consistent with how all the other options work.

+    * -map_metadata now takes only an input metadata specifier and applies to

+      the next output file. Output metadata specifier is now part of the option

+      name, similarly to the AVOptions/map/codec feature above.

+    * Presets in avconv are disabled, because only libx264 used them and

+      presets for libx264 can now be specified using a private option

+      '-preset <presetname>'.
