avcodec/put_bits: Make skip_put_bits() less dangerous

Browse Source 
Before c63c303a1f (the commit which
introduced a typedef for the type of the buffer of a PutBitContext)
skip_put_bits() was as follows:

static inline void skip_put_bits(PutBitContext *s, int n)
{
    s->bit_left -= n;
    s->buf_ptr  -= 4 * (s->bit_left >> 5);
    s->bit_left &= 31;
}

If s->bit_left was negative after the first subtraction, then the next
line will divide this by 32 with rounding towards -inf and multiply by
four; the result will be negative, of course.

The aforementioned commit changed this to:

static inline void skip_put_bits(PutBitContext *s, int n)
{
    s->bit_left -= n;
    s->buf_ptr  -= sizeof(BitBuf) * ((unsigned)s->bit_left / BUF_BITS);
    s->bit_left &= (BUF_BITS - 1);
}

Casting s->bit_left to unsigned meant that the rounding is still towards
-inf; yet the right side is now always positive (it transformed the
arithmetic shift into a logical shift), so that s->buf_ptr will always
be decremented (by about UINT_MAX / 8 unless n is huge) which leads to
segfaults on further usage and is already undefined pointer arithmetic
before that. This can be reproduced with the mpeg4 encoder with the
AV_CODEC_FLAG2_NO_OUTPUT flag set.

Furthermore, the earlier version as well as the new version share
another bug: s->bit_left will be in the range of 0..(BUF_BITS - 1)
afterwards, although the assumption throughout the other PutBitContext
functions is that it is in the range of 1..BUF_BITS. This might lead to
a shift by BUF_BITS in little-endian mode. This has been fixed, too.
The new version is furthermore able to skip zero bits, too.
