I'm not sure this makes sense in general.

The side data in AVCodecContext is supposed to be 'static', i.e.
applying to the whole stream. Many side data types do not make sense as
global side data (e.g. closed captions). Or it could be that the side
data is not actually static, but ffmpeg CLI will now always claim that
it is.
