This is a good time to deprecate this function and introduce a
replacement using the correct av_packet namespace and this time
returning an int.
What would be better

int av_packet_shrink(AVPacket *pkt, int size);

Or

int av_packet_resize(AVPacket *pkt, int size);

The latter would be a combination of both the current shrink and grow
functions.

Seems better.

LGTM

Ok, but i just realized that i can't apply this without first writing an
internal variant specifically for the encoders that makes sure pkt->data
!= avctx->internal->byte_buffer before trying to do anything, otherwise
the supposed benefits of that weird internal buffer code in
ff_alloc_packet2() would be lost.

Will look at that later.

Didn't look at it again, but this mechanism might be broken anyway
since the new encode API must return refcounted packets.

Maybe the new dynamic sized buffer pool would help.

Good point. Still waiting for suggestions about how to introduce that in
the relevant thread, for that matter :p
