Added APIchanges entry and version bump.

Well I guess I can do the same thing for this as for the
frame-specific encryption info.  There will be a user-friendly struct
for accessing it and a binary format that will be stored in the side
data.  This will allow different (de)muxers to use the data in a
generic way.

Done.  Also added addition overflow checking.

Done.
