avcodec_alloc_context3 是创建编解码器上下文，需要使用 avcodec_free_context释放

avcodec_open2 打开编解码器上下文，需要使用 avcodec_free_context 释放
实际上更加合理是说：avcodec_open2 需要使用avcodec_close释放。avcodec_close函数的说明是：只会释放 avcodecContext 内部的元素，但是不会释放 avcodecContext自己。因此也需要使用 avcodec_free_context释放，avcodec_free_context的内部有用的第一句代码就是调用 avcodec_close函数。
/**
* Initialize the AVCodecContext to use the given AVCodec. Prior to using this
* function the context has to be allocated with avcodec_alloc_context3().
*
* The functions avcodec_find_decoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_encoder_by_name(),
* avcodec_find_decoder() and avcodec_find_encoder() provide an easy way for
* retrieving a codec.
*
* @note Always call this function before using decoding routines (such as
* @ref avcodec_receive_frame()).
