Memcpy if needed to ensure sufficient alignment, as some
SIMD instructions might require more alignment than we provide
by default (e.g. vmovaps requires 32 bytes, but gstreamer uses
malloc alignment by default which is 16 bytes here on x86_64).
And in any case buffers might be trimmed, so the only alignment
we can expect is sample frame alignment which might be even
smaller than 16 bytes.

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.
