So, it seems (from a cursory look) that the change basically removed the
possibility to introduce a "default" ref (from the pps) if the actual ref
(from the slicehdr) is missing (e.g. dropped frames or so). I'm not sure
why we specifically want a default ref here, why not just take the one with
the nearest poc value instead? (That's what openhevc's code does.)
