GUI: Changes towards removing the GUI

* The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages.
* Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with the related key bindings.

Decoders:

* YUY2 Lossless Codec (YLC0) via binary DLL
* Truemotion RT codec (TR20) via binary DLL
* Nogantech Codec (NTN1 and NTN2) via binary DLL
* add new FourCCs (m1v1, yuvs, VYUY, Y42B, V422, YUNV, UYNV, UYNY, uyv1, 2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP) TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354) to existing decoders
* AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder
* updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL
* CoreAVC H.264 decoder via binary DLL (Windows only)
* Kega Game video codec (KGV1) via binary DLL
* SoftLab-NSK Forward MPEG-2 I-frames (SLIF) via binary DLL
* JPEG 2000 support via OpenJPEG
* internal liba52 copy removed
* CineForm HD (CFHD) via binary DLL
* VP8 en-/decoding through libvpx wrapper and native decoder in FFmpeg
* support for external libmpeg2 added
* hardware MPEG decoder priority lowered
* external libmpg123 support

Demuxers:

* Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples
* Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default. Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them.
* support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux
* more Blu-ray codec support with lavf
* fix length in ASF/WMV files
* support ISDB-Tb DVB streams

Filters:

* remove vf_yuy2, functionality is replaced by -vf format=yuv2
* remove vf_rgb2bgr, functionality is replaced by sws and vf_format

Streaming:

* Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray. Use it through: mplayer br:////path/to/disc

Drivers:

* -vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report if there are any issues with that.
* X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default. Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior.
* -vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5
* Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV subsampling, 16 bit per component)
* Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl (-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...)
* -vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible
* -vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support
* -vo matrixview finally added
* add OS/2 KAI audio driver (-ao kai)

Other:

* -nosub option for disabling auto-selected subtitles
* support for displaying subs in the terminal (FIXME)
* support for subtitles with audio-only files
* support for right-to-left languages with embedded subtitles
* support for UTF-16 encoded external subtitles
* support for 8 channel audio
* sync dvd:// and dvdnav:// features
* support for MPEG-4 ASP in VDPAU video output (non-B-frame only)
* support for live and non-live DVB teletext with demuxer lavf
* -name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer
* support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP (use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test)
* experimental support for external libass, pass '-disable-ass-internal' to configure
* better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats with alpha channel
* better out-of-the-box support for compiling for ARM, IA64, MinGW32 and MinGW-w64, MinGW has ASLR enabled with recent enough binutils
* libdvdcss synced with upstream Subversion snapshot

MEncoder:

* add -tsprog for demuxer lavf
