Wrap video coding APIs

[zmerp]

Add support for AMediaCodec to ndk-sys. I tried to generate the bindings but I was not able to.

Thanks for your contribution @zarik5! I have a similar change queued up, with regenerated bindings, to be published after #178 is merged.

Are you planning to add support for MediaCodec in the safe ndk bindings?

[zmerp]

No I don't have plans for now, I don't feel experienced enough with Android to write a safe wrapper.

Ah, so just using the raw bindings.

You can find a regenerated ndk-sys here: https://github.com/MarijnS95/android-ndk-rs/tree/more-sys

Oh thank you!

Since you already took care of it I'll close this PR.

@MarijnS95 Do you still plan to merge your more-sys branch into the upstream repository?

[MarijnS95]

@zarik5 Are you still planning to rework https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/blob/master/alvr/experiments/client/src/video_decoder/mediacodec.rs into a wrapper for submission to android-ndk-rs?

If so I can probably see about rebasing and submitting that branch.

Not really for now, but I think there would still value in having the raw MediaCodec API in the ndk-sys crate. I'm not excluding I will contribute the safe bindings in the future 🙂. Continuing using your fork is workable but a bit inconvenient since it's getting old.
