Just make a local copy of avcodec_decode_video, it is just a wrapper around
decode_video2 (which proves that removing it won't lose any flexibility 
whatsoever)
and be done.
There's no point in keeping avcodec_decode_video as an API since it is
impossible to decode all video formats with only the information
it gets, e.g. one of the PNG codecs needs the keyframe information.
