Regression since 87f0c8280.

If the extradata of a stream could not be extracted correctly,
codec_info_nb_frames would remain zero, while st->event_flag would still
be marked as AVSTREAM_EVENT_FLAG_NEW_PACKETS.

The two expressions could be different in this case, hence reset
event_flags and calculate the correct score.

Fix #9029.

The ticket mentions ffplay, but ffplay does not access event_flags.

You are right, this helps ffmpeg cmdline to copy and dump:
$ ffmpeg -i sample_cut.flv -c copy -y dump.mp4

Before 87f0c8280 and after this patch:

audio streams could be dumped and playable, while video streams still not.

87f0c8280..master:
Error reporting and quits.

[mp4 @ 0x7fb276809a00] dimensions not set
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters
?): Invalid argument
Error initializing output stream 0:1 --

I'd change the commit message to "#9029 related" for this, since the
ffplay issue remains the same.

I am still not convinced this is really a regression. You can still
process the file by explicitly mapping only the audio stream.

This file is damaged and the video stream is not readable. IMO it is
better to report an error and let the user decide what to do with it
than silently skip the video stream while pretending everything is fine.

Okay, I'm fine with this if it won't trigger failures for to different paths.

VLC is able to decode/play this correctly, hence maybe need to
investigate more into this.

VLC can also play only the audio stream. ffmpeg handles it as I
described above, which seems appropriate to me.

I suppose ffplay could be changed to be more lenient about decoding
errors, but then I see ffplay mainly as a testing/development tool
rather than a serious player.
