lavc: Make AVPacket.duration int64, and deprecate convergence_duration
Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and to get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Vittorio Giovara <vittorio.giovara@gmail.com>
