Fixes lots of FATE tests, e.g. lavf-nut, as well as the nut part of
ticket #7980.

Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@gmail.com>

This patch is made to match the previous behaviour; whether the previous
behaviour is correct at all if the header length is zero is unknown to
me.

Is this different from the patch I sent?
(Why does it look different)

Yes.
a) Your patch checks whether nut->header[fc->header_idx] is NULL.
b) Michael's proposal is to check for fc->header_idx instead. This
would work, because it is the index of the only used pointer in
nut->header that is NULL, and this proposal has the advantage of one
dereferencing less than a).
c) My* patch checks whether nut->header_len[fc->header_idx] is zero.
Given that nut->header_len[fc->header_idx] is already used in the very
first check, my solution should not entail a dereference at all.

Furthermore, b) is very specific to the nutenc situation here and a)
might hide a situation where nut->header_len[fc->header_idx] is > 0,
but nut->header[fc->header_idx] == NULL, which should of course not
happen. And it singles out one of the two pointer arguments.

*: It is also what Reimar proposed (I was completely unaware of the
earlier patch when I submitted mine).

I dont think the resulting code is particularly readable with the
increasingly complex condition in the if()

ill post a alternative suggestion for consideration that has a simpler
condition after testing it

thx
