The current headers which have "inline" declarations for the functions
without a function definition make no sense according to either C99 or
older gcc usage. If a function is inline then a definition must be in
the same translation unit. A declaration without a function body is
legal but rather pointless when it must be followed by the definition
anyway. I suppose it could have use cases like verifying that the
signatures of differently optimized local inline versions in
different .c files match, but that's not how the FFmpeg functions are
used.
