New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

Few issues with YUV on SDL2 when using odd dimensions, and missing conversions from/back to YUV formats.
1) The big part is that SDL_ConvertPixels() does not convert to/from YUV in most cases. This now works with any format and also with odd dimensions,
by adding two internal functions SDL_ConvertPixels_YUV_to_ARGB8888 and SDL_ConvertPixels_ARGB8888_to_YUV (could it be XRGB888 ?).
The target format is hard coded to ARGB888 (which is the default in the internal of the software renderer).
In case of different YUV conversion, it will do an intermediate conversion to a ARGB8888 buffer.
SDL_ConvertPixels_YUV_to_ARGB8888 is somehow redundant with all the "Color*Dither*Mod*".
But it allows some completeness of SDL_ConvertPixels to handle all YUV format.
It also works with odd dimensions.
Moreover, I did some benchmark(SDL_ConvertPixel vs Color32DitherYV12Mod1X and Color32DitherYUY2Mod1X).
gcc-6.3 and clang-4.0. gcc performs better than clang. And, with gcc, SDL_ConvertPixels() performs better (20%) than the two C function Color32Dither*().
For instance, to convert 10 times a 3888x2592 image, it takes ~195 ms with SDL_ConvertPixels and ~235 ms with Color32Dither*().
Especially because of gcc vectorize feature that optimises all conversion loops (-ftree-loop-vectorize).
Nb: I put no image pitch for the YUV buffers. because it complexify a little bit the code and the API :
There would be some ambiguity when setting the pitch exactly to image width:
would it a be pitch of image width (for luma and chroma). or just contiguous data ? (could set pitch=0 for the later).
2) Small issues with odd dimensions:
If width "w" is odd, luma plane width is still "w" whereas chroma planes will be "(w + 1)/2". Almost the same for odd h.
Solution is to strategically substitute "w" by "(w+1)/2" at the good places ...
- In the repository, SDL_ConvertPixels() handles YUV only if yuv source format is exactly the same as YUV destination format.
It basically does a memcpy of pixels, but it's done incorrectly when width or height is odd (wrong size of chroma planes). This is fixed.
- SDL Renderers don't support odd width/height for YUV textures.
This is fixed for software, opengl, opengles2. (opengles 1 does not support it and fallback to software rendering).
This is *not* fixed for D3D and D3D11 ... (and others, psp ?)
Only *two* Dither function are fixed ... not sure if others are really used.
- This is not possible to create a NV12/NV12 texture with the software renderer, whereas other renderers allow it.
This is fixed, by using SDL_ConvertPixels underneath.
- It was not possible to SDL_UpdateTexture() of format NV12/NV21 with the software renderer. this is fixed.
Here's also two testcases:
- that do all combination of conversion.
- to test partial UpdateTexture
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
