I decided it was too much trouble to add a new API for this. I also noticed 
that mpeg4video_parser is already doing the same thing as the patch I posted, 
so I'm going to stick with that approach. Added a "first_picture" flag, which 
is used the same way as the flag in ParseContext1 used by mpeg4video_parser.

I didn't add the flag to the end of the structure, didn't think it was 
necessary since H264Context is totally private.
