Normally, this function tries to make sure all threads are saturated with work to do before returning any frames; and will continue requesting packets until that is the case. However, this significantly slows down initial decoding latency when only requesting a single frame (to e.g. configure the filter graph), and also wastes a lot of unnecessary memory in the event that the user does not intend to decode more frames until later. By introducing a new `flags` paramater and a new flag `AV_CODEC_RECEIVE_FRAME_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS` to go along with it, we can allow users to temporarily bypass this logic.
