[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 3/10] avformat/segment: Fix segfault on allocation error, avoid allocation

If the user has set none of the options specifying the segments'
durations, a default value of 2s is used by duplicating a "2" string and
using av_parse_time() on it. Yet duplicating the string was unchecked
and if the allocation failed, one would get a segfault in
av_parse_time().

This commit solves this by instead turning said option to use
AV_OPT_TYPE_DURATION (which also uses av_parse_time() internally),
avoiding duplicating the string altogether.

Updated to use the AV_OPT_TYPE_DURATION as has been discussed with
Ridley Combs on IRC; the whole patchset (with the exception of a nit in
the last patch) has been lgtm'ed and so I will push it in a few hours
unless there are further objections.
