A common pattern e.g. in libavcodec is replacing/updating buffer
references: unref old one, ref new one. This function allows simplifying
such code and avoiding unnecessary refs+unrefs if the references are
already equivalent.
In order to access the original opaque parameter of a buffer in the buffer
pool. (The buffer pool implementation overrides the normal opaque parameter but
also saves it so it is accessible).
v2: add assertion check before dereferencing the BufferPoolEntry.

A non-existent av_buffer_pool_can_uninit() function is mentioned instead
of av_buffer_pool_uninit(). Also, this function is to be called by the
caller, not the pool itself.
