In a video filter (filter_t), pf_video_filter() gives the picture_t,
which provides the date. This date is used by several filters (e.g. fps
and deinterlace filters).

The goal is to run OpenGL filters from a video filter, so in
pf_video_filter(), the picture_t is passed to the OpenGL filter.

It would be meaningless to expose the whole picture_t to the OpenGL
filter itself (it must use the GLSL function vlc_texture() to access the
input texture), but it is still important to forward some of its
properties (like the date), to be able to implement filters
like fps or deinterlace in OpenGL.
