demux_mkv: rewrite packet reading to avoid 1 memcpy()
This directly reads individual mkv sub-packets (block laces) into a
dedicated AVBufferRefs, which can be directly used for creating packets
without a additional copy of the packet data. This also means we switch
parsing of block header fields and lacing metadata to read directly from
the stream, instead of a memory buffer.
This could have been much easier if libavcodec didn't require padding
the packet data with zero bytes. We could just have each packet
reference a slice of the block data. But as it is, the only way to get
padding without a copy is to read the laces into individually allocated
(and padded) memory block, which required a larger rewrite.
This probably makes recovering from broken mkv files slightly worse if
the transport is unseekable. We just read, and then check if we've
overread. But I think that shouldn't be a real concern.
No actual measureable performance change. Potential for some
regressions, as this is quite intrusive, and touches weird obscure shit
like mkv lacing. Still keeping it because I like how it removes some
redundant EBML parsing functions.
