avformat/apngdec: allow other chunks between fcTL and fdAT/IDAT

The APNG demuxer incorrectly assumed that fcTL chunks must be
immediately followed by fdAT or IDAT chunks. Per PNG specification
section 14.3.2, ancillary chunks may appear in any order relative
to other ancillary chunks.

This change allows intermediate chunks (like tEXt) between fcTL
and frame data chunks, fixing playback of APNG files with metadata.

Fixes #11012.
