[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavu/avstring: check for overlong encodings

In ffprobe, the function is used with values coming directly from the file's
metadata: an assert is not acceptable in this case.

Furthermore, the function is capable of decoding the full UTF-8 range, up to
(1<<31)-1, and that takes 6 octets.

Also, I suspect checking for overlong encodings could have a flag just like
the other extraneous checks below.
