Why use void if you're going to cast these to uint8_t everywhere?

Maybe instead of buffer_ref + make_writable, just do a buffer_alloc +
memcpy. It should be faster and only requires one failure check.

Wouldn't implementing this directly in AVBufferRef be a better idea
instead? Right now it only supports flat data arrays, and having a
callback function that gets called when av_buffer_make_writable() makes
a copy of the buffer would allow us to also have complex structures,
with pointers or even other AVBufferRefs as well.

The relevant CBS changes from this patch would then be much simpler, and
it would also solve things like the decoupled qp_table frame side data
types, or how a copy of the entire raw sps is embedded in struct sps in
h264_ps.h as a 4kb array.
