We require stdbool.h in the build environment, so we might as well use the plain bool type.
If your environment doesn't have stdbool.h, this simple replacement will suffice:
typedef signed char bool;
Most SDL functions used to indicate success or failure using an int return code. These functions have been changed to return SDL_bool.
Here is a coccinelle patch to change code that previously compared the return value to 0 and changes it to a boolean test:

It was intended to make the API easier to use, but various automatic garbage collection all had flaws, and making the application periodically clean up temporary memory added cognitive load to using the API, and in many cases was it was difficult to restructure threaded code to handle this.
So, we're largely going back to the original system, where the API returns allocated results and you free them.
In addition, to solve the problems we originally wanted temporary memory for:
* Short strings with a finite count, like device names, get stored in a per-thread string pool.
* Events continue to use temporary memory internally, which is cleaned up on the next event processing cycle.
SDL_Surface has been simplified and internal details are no longer in the public structure.
The `format` member of SDL_Surface is now an enumerated pixel format value. You can get the full details of the pixel format by calling `SDL_GetPixelFormatDetails(surface->format)`. You can get the palette associated with the surface by calling SDL_GetSurfacePalette(). You can get the clip rectangle by calling SDL_GetSurfaceClipRect().
SDL_PixelFormat has been renamed SDL_PixelFormatDetails and just describes the pixel format, it does not include a palette for indexed pixel types.
SDL_PixelFormatEnum has been renamed SDL_PixelFormat and is used instead of Uint32 for API functions that refer to pixel format by enumerated value.
SDL_MapRGB(), SDL_MapRGBA(), SDL_GetRGB(), and SDL_GetRGBA() take an optional palette parameter for indexed color lookups.
These are integer values internally, but the API has been changed to make it easier to mix other render code with querying those values.

My phone captured 1920x1080 images even though the highest reported format was higher resolution, so I adjusted testcamera to be able to handle different sized images than expected.

- Simplified public API, simplified backend interface.
- Camera device hotplug events.
- Thread code is split up so it backends that provide own threads can use it.
- Added "dummy" backend.
Note that CoreMedia (Apple) and Android backends need to be updated, as does
the testcamera app (testcameraminimal works).
