 pic_num

Hey Nicolas,

The term pic_num is now only present in the following files:
```
❯ rg 'pic_num'
staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec-h264.c
766:	 * Assign an invalid pic_num if DPB entry at that position is inactive.
768:	 * reference picture with pic_num 0, triggering output picture

media/platform/amphion/vpu_windsor.c
485:	u32 pic_num;

media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/vdec/vdec_h264_req_if.c
97:	unsigned short pic_num;
346:		dst_entry->pic_num = src_entry->pic_num;

media/v4l2-core/v4l2-h264.c
143:	 * but with frame_num (wrapped). As for frame the pic_num and frame_num
306:		/* this is pic_num for frame and frame_num (wrapped) for field,
307:		 * but for frame pic_num is equal to frame_num (wrapped).
```

In v4l2-h264 and rkvdec-h264 it is only present as comment and the term
is not part of the specification.
In vpu_windsor it is actually never used.
And for the mediatek driver the same might apply.
It might be worth it to get rid of that term all together while you are
at it.
