- This allows a BMediaDecoder (e.g. FFMPEG Plugin) to communicate back format
changes to its clients.

- Backwards compatibility is taken into account and preserved by reducing the
relevant _reserved[] fields.
- Code changes that will actually make use of these extensions are due for the
following commits. As these structure extensions affect several Haiku
components (e.g. media_server, MediaPlayer, etc.) and third party apps (e.g.
StampTV, etc.) I refrain from committing them in one batch with this commit.
This should make it easier to track down bugs originating in this code
change.
(cherry picked from commit 806b6888d2dcf84b4934f8f137a48d3381864d1c)
BBufferConsumer::BufferReceived() cannot know whom to send the "buffer is
late" notification (unless we only have a single input). To solve this, the
media_header now contains extra fields that can be used to create a
media_source object.
* Unfortunately, BBufferProducer::SendBuffer() cannot know the output either in
case there is more than one. Hence, I deprecated the existing SendBuffer()
call and moved it into "private" - IOW old sources using it won't compile
anymore under Haiku.
* I introduced a new SendBuffer() variant that also gets the media_source as
argument.
* Updated all sources (that are part of the image) to use the new variant.
* Removed some purposely commented out code in the audio mixer.
* Implemented late buffer notification, as well as late buffer handling in the
audio mixer; this is a bit of work in progress, so the debug output is left
in there.
* Some cleanup.
