player: document FFmpeg ABI rules we intentionally violate

That's just a single one. It used to be more, when FFmpeg still required
using pointless accessors for tons of fields, which historically broke
compatibility with Libav. (I think I wrote the patch to deprecate that
crap and to allow direct access myself.)

There may be more exceptions, but I forgot about them. Another point is
that we don't really trust FFmpeg ABI stability, though.
