Martin Storsjö 032bdf8ebd Revert "Re-initialize stream on new metadata."
This reverts commit 7b18eafabd.

That commit added tests that don't work on Windows, and which
also fail in setups with cross/remote testing (with --target-exec
and --target-path).

See https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20876 for more
discussions about issues with that commit.
