We would previously register a whole bunch of encoder/decoder for which the caps
were ... "unknown/unknown".
Add a function to quickly check (without generating caps) whether a given
AVCodecID has a known mapping (which can include the {video|audio}/x-gst-av-*
ones) without generating the caps.

GstFFMpegAudDec.context can be nullptr if decoder got closed
without opening new context. Note that we don't need to clear
AVCodecContext.extradata there since avcodec_free_context()
will do clear the data if needed.

avcodec_close() is deprecated and it's not supported anymore to re-open
a codec, so we only ever allocate the codec in set_format() now and
always free it after usage.
As part of this, also fix various memory leaks in related code paths.

* Bump the rank of the musepack v7/v8 FFmpeg demuxers to SECONDARY
* Bump the rank of the musepack v7/v8 FFmpeg audio decoders to SECONDARY
* Demote the rank of the musepackdec element to MARGINAL
This is for two reasons:
* The musepack library is no longer maintained, whereas the FFmpeg
implementation can/will receive fixes
* The `musepackdec` implementation was a all-in-one "parsing and decoding" blob
which doesn't play nicely with decodebin3 and others

It would constantly want to renegotiate (and spam the debug log) even
though the channel layout hasn't actually changed. We use the same
fallback in gst_ffmpegauddec_negotiate() already.
This happens with WMA files for example.

Latest ffmpeg has removed avcodec_get_context_defaults(), and its
documentation says a new AVCodecContext should be allocated for this
purpose. The pointer returned by avcodec_find_decoder() is now
const-qualified so we also need to adjust for it. And, AVCOL_RANGE_MPEG
is now rejected with strict_std_compliance > FF_COMPLIANCE_UNOFFICIAL.
