/**
 * Inserts or removes an element.
 * If *next is NULL, then the supplied element will be removed if it exists.
 * If *next is not NULL, then the supplied element will be inserted, unless
 * it already exists in the tree.
 * @param rootp A pointer to a pointer to the root node of the tree; note that
 *              the root node can change during insertions, this is required
 *              to keep the tree balanced.
 * @param next Used to allocate and free AVTreeNodes. For insertion the user
 *             must set it to an allocated and zeroed object of at least
 *             av_tree_node_size bytes size. av_tree_insert() will set it to
 *             NULL if it has been consumed.
 *             For deleting elements *next is set to NULL by the user and
 *             av_tree_node_size() will set it to the AVTreeNode which was
 *             used for the removed element.
 *             This allows the use of flat arrays, which have
 *             lower overhead compared to many malloced elements.
 *             You might want to define a function like:
 *             void *tree_insert(struct AVTreeNode **rootp, void *key, int (*cmp)(void *key, const void *b), AVTreeNode **next){
 *                 if(!*next) *next= av_mallocz(av_tree_node_size);
 *                 return av_tree_insert(rootp, key, cmp, next);
 *             }
 *             void *tree_remove(struct AVTreeNode **rootp, void *key, int (*cmp)(void *key, const void *b, AVTreeNode **next)){
 *                 if(*next) av_freep(next);
 *                 return av_tree_insert(rootp, key, cmp, next);
 *             }
 *
 * @return If no insertion happened, the found element; if an insertion or
           removal happened, then either key or NULL will be returned.
 *         Which one it is depends on the tree state and the implementation. You
 *         should make no assumptions that it's one or the other in the code.
