avutil/dict: Improve documentation

Browse Source 
Mostly consistent formatting and consistently ordering of
warnings/notes to be next to the description.

Additionally group the AV_DICT_* macros.

* @brief Simple key:value store

* @{
* Dictionaries are used for storing key:value pairs. To create
* an AVDictionary, simply pass an address of a NULL pointer to
* av_dict_set(). NULL can be used as an empty dictionary wherever
* a pointer to an AVDictionary is required.
* Use av_dict_get() to retrieve an entry and av_dict_iterate() to
* iterate over all entries and finally av_dict_free() to free the
* dictionary and all its contents.
* Dictionaries are used for storing key-value pairs.
