From: Aman Gupta <aman@tmm1.net>

This fixes issues reported on some devices where both
avcodec_send_packet and avcodec_receive_frame can return EAGAIN
at the same time, instead of one or the other blocking.

The new logic follows a recommendation by @rcombs to use
dequeueInputBuffer with a timeout of 0 as a way to detect
whether the codec wants more data. The dequeued buffer index is
kept in MediaCodecDecContext until it can be used next.

A similar technique is also used by the Google's official media
player Exoplayer: see MediaCodecRenderer.feedInputBuffer().

If the input is starved on the FFmpeg side, we shouldn't block on trying
to receive a new frame from MediaCodec as it causes a performance
regression while the decoder is still not buffered enough to output its
first frame (after init or after a flush) as the function will end up
waiting 8ms for each new packet (for each call to avcodec_send_packet()).

Returning directly EAGAIN from here is fine as we will end up calling
ff_mediacodec_dec_receive() from the next call to avcodec_send_packet() or
avcodec_receive_frame().

With this modification the patch works fine on my devices without any
performance regression.
