The doxy states av_bsf_send_packet() can return an error, even if up
till now it hasn't.

Also, as i stated in the addendum below the Signed-off line, current
users following the recommended API usage (one call to
av_bsf_send_packet(), then several to av_bsf_receive_packet()) will see
no changes at all. So if you did that and expected no errors from
av_bsf_send_packet() in your mux.c code, you'll still get none.

The benefit is relaxing the current constrains of the API for new users
(including mux.c if you want to take advantage of it), but for those
that don't care about it, there's no difference at all. So any existing
code is in no risk of being broken.
