avcodec/vlc: Use structure instead of VLC_TYPE array as VLC element

In C, qualifiers for arrays are broken:
const VLC_TYPE (*foo)[2] is a pointer to an array of two const VLC_TYPE
elements and unfortunately this is not compatible with a pointer
to a const array of two VLC_TYPE, because the latter does not exist
as array types are never qualified (the qualifier applies to the base
type instead). This is the reason why get_vlc2() doesn't accept
a const VLC table despite not modifying the table at all, as
there is no automatic conversion from VLC_TYPE (*)[2] to
const VLC_TYPE (*)[2].

Fix this by using a structure VLCElem for the VLC table.
This also has the advantage of making it clear which
element is which.
