For the record, by limiting the amount of side data elements to
AV_PKT_DATA_NB we're potentially breaking the current behavior where the
function allows more than one element of the same side data type in a
packet.
What should be done here is make this function behave the same as
av_stream_add_side_data() and allow only one element per type,
overwriting the existing one when a new one is provided.

I don't know for that matter if the above would have been better than
adding this _NB enum, or at least sufficient, seeing how
av_stream_add_side_data() also does a "INT_MAX / sizeof(*side_data)"
check after making sure only one element per type is allowed, and can't
really use this _NB enum being in a different library.
