avcodec/avcodec: Adapt the doc of av_bsf_send_packet to match its actual implementation.

Explicitly allowing empty packets to signal flushing helps getting rid
of special cases. It does not hinder the ability to send i.e.
timing-only packets, because one can send packets with zero size and
pkt->data set.
