Build Error: Depreciated/Removed ffmpeg calls (libav); ContentDecoder/Frame.h #111

Much of the codebase seems depreciated, with libav/swrast seeing the worst bitrot.

ContentDecoder/frame.h still uses depreciated function calls from 2019 (AVPicture: avpicture_get_size), that were removed in 2021(commit: 17a7661906ba295d67afd80ac0770422e1b02b3).

I'm trying to maintain a branch that fixes these errors here: https://github.com/Rogach/electricsheep/tree/fix-ffmpeg5

@Rogach thanks for those patches ... you saved the sheeps!

Recently, I had also started with adding some fixes, but your work is way more complete. I have now included your patches into the newer builds in my PPA, and could successfully rebuild for Ubuntu Lunar, Mantic and Noble (and also for recent Debians).

If anyone is interested, my PPA is here https://launchpad.net/~ichthyo/+archive/ubuntu/zeug (I use git-buildpackage, and the sources for the DEB are in my Git-Repo
