Make video_buffer more generic

The video buffer took ownership of the producer frame (so that it could
swap frames quickly).

In order to support multiple sinks plugged to the decoder, the decoded
frame must not be consumed by the display video buffer.

Therefore, move the producer and consumer frames out of the video
buffer, and use FFmpeg AVFrame refcounting to share ownership while
avoiding copies.

/**
* There are 3 frames in memory:
* - one frame is held by the producer (producer_frame)
* - one frame is held by the consumer (consumer_frame)
* - one frame is shared between the producer and the consumer (pending_frame)
* A video buffer holds 1 pending frame, which is the last frame received from
* the producer (typically, the decoder).
*
* The producer generates a frame into the producer_frame (it may takes time).
* If a pending frame has not been consumed when the producer pushes a new
* frame, then it is lost. The intent is to always provide access to the very
* last frame to minimize latency.
*
* Once the frame is produced, it calls video_buffer_producer_offer_frame(),
* which swaps the producer and pending frames.
*
* When the consumer is notified that a new frame is available, it calls
* video_buffer_consumer_take_frame() to retrieve it, which swaps the pending
* and consumer frames. The frame is valid until the next call, without
* blocking the producer.
* The producer and the consumer typically do not live in the same thread.
* That's the reason why the callback on_frame_available() does not provide the
* frame as parameter: the consumer might post an event to its own thread to
* retrieve the pending frame from there, and that frame may have changed since
* the callback if producer pushed a new one in between.
