avcodec/avcodec, avpacket: Return blank packet on av_packet_ref() failure
Up until now, it was completely unspecified what the content of the
destination packet dst was on error. Depending upon where the error
happened calling av_packet_unref() on dst might be dangerous.
This commit changes this by making sure that dst is blank on error, so
unreferencing it again is safe (and still pointless). This behaviour is
documented.
