lavc: allow asynchronous decoders to return correct pkt_dts values

The generic code in utils.c sets the AVFrame.pkt_dts field from the
packet it was supposedly decoded. This does not have to be true for a
fully asynchronous decoder like mmaldec. It could be overwritten with an
incorrect value. Even if the decoder doesn't determine the DTS (but sets
it to AV_NOPTS_VALUE), it's impossible to determine a correct value in
utils.c.

Decoders can now be marked with FF_CODEC_CAP_SETS_PKT_DTS, in which case
utils.c won't overwrite the field. The decoders are expected to set this
field (even if they only set it to AV_NOPTS_VALUE).
