  Log Message:
  -----------
  MythCodecMap: Don't use a global, static singleton

- there is no reason to use a global singleton, other than occasional
convenience
- it introduces concurrency and locking issues right across any mythtv
application trying to access it from multiple threads

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Remove global avcodeclock singleton

- this was originally used to protect calls to av_register_all
- av_register_all is no longer required and we don't use it anyway
- over the years it has morphed into a catchall lock around sundry
decoder activities - some of which have been improved in recent commits
- some other FFmpeg calls (e.g. avcode_open2) used to require locking
but this is now handled internally in FFmpeg (as long as pthread support
is available - which it should always be).
- fixes PiP support
- should improve concurrency generally where more than one decoder is
active
