rslib: Split rs control struct
The decoder library uses variable length arrays on stack. To get rid of them it would be simple to allocate fixed length arrays on stack, but those might become rather large. The other solution is to allocate the buffers in the rs control structure, but this cannot be done as long as the structure can be shared by several users. Sharing is desired because the RS polynom tables are large and initialization is time consuming. To solve this split the codec information out of the control structure and have a pointer to a shared codec in it. Instantiate the control structure for each user, create a new codec if no shareable is avaiable yet. Adjust all affected usage sites to the new scheme. This allows to add per instance decoder buffers to the control structure later on.
