If it breaks API, then I would rather see it done properly rather than
fortuitously: move capabilities and max_lowres after all the pointers.

For reference, the robust way of avoiding padding in structures is to
order fields by decreasing size. Since the public part of AVCodec
changes rarely, once it is done, it should mostly hold.
