avcodec/vlc: Add macro for ff_init_vlc_sparse()

ff_init_vlc_sparse() supports arrays of uint8_t, uint16_t and uint32_t
as input (and it also supports padding/other elements in between the
elements). This makes the typical case in which the input is a simple
array more cumbersome. E.g. for an array of uint8_t one would either
need to call the function with arguments like "array, sizeof(array[0]),
sizeof(array[0])" or with "array, 1, 1". The former is nicer, but
longer, so that the latter is mostly used. Therefore this commit adds a
macro that expands to the sizeof() construct.
