We have strtol()s stored into ints all over the place, nobody seems to
really care.

I do not think that ffmpeg would work on anything where integer overflows
would cause anything silly, so as long as we do not trust the result to be
in a certain range without validation, we are good.

av_get_default_channel_layout has no problem in that regard, and frankly, if
on some architectures and/or libc implementations "180388626434" is a
synonym for "stereo", I can live with it.

I changed it like that in my working tree:

	return FFMAX(layout, 0);

to avoid negatives results (I can not fathom why channels layout were not
unsigned in the first place), but otherwise, same as above: if
"0x420000000000000003" is treated as a synonym for "stereo", I can live with
that: that is just the user being silly and getting not-so-silly results,
and it can not lead to a security problem.

I confirm it can.
