fftools/cmdutils: Use avfilter_pad_count() for AVFilter's number of pads

Besides being nicer code this also has the advantage of not making
assumptions about the internal implementation: While it is documented
that the AVFilter.inputs and AVFilter.outputs arrays are terminated
by a zeroed sentinel, one is not allowed to infer that one can just
check avfilter_pad_get_name(padarray, i) to see whether one has reached
the sentinel:
It could be that the pointer to the string is contained
in a different structure than AVFilterPad that needs to be accessed
first: return pad->struct->string.
It could be that for small strings an internal buffer in
AVFilterPad is used (to avoid a relocation) whereas for longer strings
an external string is used; this is useful to avoid relocations:
return pad->string_ptr ? pad->string_ptr : pad->interal_string
Or it could be that the name has a default value:
return pad->name ? pad->name : "default"
(This actually made sense for us because the name of most of our
AVFilterPads is just "default"; doing so would save lots of relocations.)

The only thing one is allowed to infer from the existence of the
sentinel is that one is allowed to use avfilter_pad_count() to get
the number of pads. Therefore it is used.
