avformat/matroskadec: Don't skip too much when unseekable
The Matroska (and WebM) file format achieves forward-compability by
insisting that demuxers ignore and skip elements they don't know about.
Unfortunately, this complicates the detection of errors as errors
resulting from loosing sync can't be reliably distinguished from
unknown elements that are part of a future version of the standard.
Up until now, the strategy to deal with this situation was to skip all
unknown elements that are not obviously erroneous; if an error happened,
it was tried to seek to the last known good position to resync from (and
resync to level 1 elements). This is working fine if the input is
seekable, but if it is not, then the skipped data can usually not be
rechecked lateron. This is particularly acute if unknown-length clusters
are in use, as the check for whether a child element exceeds the
containing master element is ineffective in this situation.
To remedy this, a new heuristic has been introduced: If an unknown
element is encountered in non-seekable mode, an error is presumed to
have happened based upon a combination of the length of the row of the
already encountered unknown elements and of how far away skipping this
element would take us.
