Fixes ticket #7174.

Signed-off-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>

This makes what's essentially a non spec compliant stream decodable again with
no visual artifacts, and without reintroducing the risk of overflows.

Alternatively, we could clip the luma and chroma values to the -128..127
range instead of setting them to defaults.

I think to awnser this we would need streams where there is an actual 
difference between these choices

There are 2 possible sources of such non compliant values
1. damaged bitstream data
2. buggy encoders

For handling 2. its likely best to narrowly detect the bug and handle it
accordingly (which may be to ignore it if for example there are no MBs that
use the values in the bug case)

For handling 1. its likely best to set all values to some default or guessed
not just the first and then continue parsing as the decoder state is already
screwed and the following values even if they end in valid ranges likely
would be no good.

The low number of samples for these 2 cases makes testing what is best
somewhat difficult. We could generate damaged streams though but still
as theres a wide range of potential damage that may not match the distribution
of real world damaged streams

I would suggest to leave a request for samples in the codepath. As more
samples (damaged as well as buggy encoders) would allow better evaluating
which alternative solution would be best in practice and not just theory

Thanks

At least with the sample in the ticket, it's a buggy encoder that for
some reason coded a -129 value in a field with a -128,127 valid range.
The rest of the bitstream appears correct, including byte alignment
padding bits and such.

I'll replace the av_log lines with request sample ones then.

Your patch leads to bit-exact output with the reference
decoder and old FFmpeg.

This is true for the original sample, the new sample
zNqp.h264 has bit-exact output with old FFmpeg
but not with your patch.

Where can i get this sample? Perhaps clipping the bogus value will make
it bitexact.

It would be nice to know what the reference decoder does, for that
matter. If it's bothering like us to check and handle this out of spec
values, or if they do like we used to and just pass them through.

Found it and tested the above, and with clipping it still doesn't seem
to be bitexact with old ffmpeg.

That's why I told you;-)

I must have missed it. Outside of saying its output is bitexact for the
first sample as ffmpeg after my patch, i don't think you mentioned
what's its behavior for these out of spec values.
