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.

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.

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.
