Using random values for TrackUID and FileUID (as happens when the
AVFMT_FLAG_BITEXACT flag is not set) has the obvious downside of making
the output indeterministic. This commit mitigates this by writing the
potentially random values with a fixed size of eight byte, even if their
actual values would fit into less than eight bytes. This ensures that
even in non-bitexact mode, the differences between two files generated
with the same settings are restricted to a few bytes in the header.
(Namely the SegmentUID, the TrackUIDs (in Tracks as well as when
referencing them via TagTrackUID), the FileUIDs (in Attachments as
well as in TagAttachmentUID) as well as the CRC-32 checksums of the
Info, Tracks, Attachments and Tags level-1-elements.) Without this
patch, there might be an offset/a size difference between two such
files.
The FATE-tests had to be updated because the fixed-sized UIDs are also
used in bitexact mode.

Up until e7ddafd5, the Matroska muxer wrote two SeekHeads: One at the
beginning referencing the main level 1 elements (i.e. not the Clusters)
and one at the end, referencing the Clusters. This second SeekHead was
useless and has therefore been removed. Yet the SeekHead-related
functions and structures are still geared towards this usecase: They
are built around an allocated array of variable size that gets
reallocated every time an element is added to it although the maximum
number of Seek entries is a small compile-time constant, so that one should
rather include the array in the SeekHead structure itself; and said
structure should be contained in the MatroskaMuxContext instead of being
allocated separately.
The earlier code reserved space for a SeekHead with 10 entries, although
we currently write at most 6. Reducing said number implied that every
Matroska/Webm file will be 84 bytes smaller and required to adapt
several FATE tests; furthermore, the reserved amount overestimated the
amount needed for for the SeekHead's length field and how many bytes
need to be reserved to write a EBML Void element, bringing the total
reduction to 89 bytes.
This also fixes a potential segfault: If !mkv->is_live and if the
AVIOContext is initially unseekable when writing the header, the
SeekHead is already written when writing the header and this used to
free the SeekHead-related structures that have been allocated. But if
the AVIOContext happens to be seekable when writing the trailer, it will
be attempted to write the SeekHead again which will lead to segfaults
because the corresponding structures have already been freed.

Up until now, the length field of most level 1 elements has been written
using eight bytes, although it is known in advance how much space the
content of said elements will take up so that it would be possible to
determine the minimal amount of bytes for the length field. This
commit changes this.

Up until now the EBML Header length field has been written with eight
bytes, although the EBML Header is always so small that only one byte
is needed for it. This patch saves seven bytes for every Matroska/Webm
file.

This removes the current API violating behavior of overwritting the stream's
extradata during packet filtering, something that should not happen after the
av_bsf_init() call.
The bitstream filter generated extradata is no longer available during
write_header(), and as such not usable with non seekable output. The FATE
tests are updated to reflect this.
