[FFmpeg-cvslog] avutil/dict: Add av_dict_iterate

[Marvin Scholz]

ffmpeg | branch: master | Marvin Scholz <epirat07 at gmail.com> | Sat Sep 24 16:36:55 2022 +0200| [9dad2379283cbf5842cff14c0e34b97958698201] | committer: Anton Khirnov

avutil/dict: Add av_dict_iterate

This is a more explicit iteration API rather than using the "magic"
av_dict_get(d, "", t, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX) which is not really
trivial to grasp what it does when casually reading through code.
