Following "lavf: move AVStream.*index_entries* to AVStreamInternal", it was
revealed that some library users apparently found these fields useful and were
accessing them despite not being public.
This patch introduces a few functions to recover this functionality in a proper
and supported way.

We can't simply return a const pointer to the corresponding AVIndexEntry in the
array because it may change at any time by for example calling
av_add_index_entry(), so it's either a copy of the AVIndexEntry, or adding half
a dozen output parameters to the function signature for each field in
AVIndexEntry.
