lowres is deprecated and the only reason it wasn't removed during this
major bump was because i couldn't feasibly find a way to untangle it
from the rest of the codebase, and no one else answered my call for help
when i sent the major bump patch two months ago.

The unstable ABI period is still open, for that matter, so if you or
anyone else feels like giving it a try then there's still a couple weeks
to remove it as originally scheduled.
Otherwise, it will be removed next year or so alongside AVStream->codec.
