Decoders implementing the receive_frame API currently mostly use stack packets to temporarily hold the packet they receive from ff_decode_get_packet(). This role directly parallels the role of in_pkt, the spare packet used in decode_simple_internal for the decoders implementing the traditional decoding API. Said packet is unused by the generic code for the decoders implementing the receive_frame API, so allow them to use it to fulfill the function it already fulfills for the traditional API for both APIs. There is only one caveat in this: The packet is automatically unreferenced in avcodec_flush_buffers(). But this is actually positive as it means the decoders don't have to do this themselves (in case the packet is preserved between receive_frame calls).
