avutil/attributes: add av_warn_unused_result

Browse Source 
GCC 3.4 introduced an attribute warn_unused_result to warn when a programmer
discards the return value. Applying this judiciously across the codebase can help
in fixing a lot of problems. At a high level, functions which return error codes
should always be checked. More concretely, consider the functions ff_add_format
and the like in avfilter/formats.h. A quick examination shows that a large portion
of libavfilter fails to handle the associated errors, usually AVERROR(ENOMEM).
The above example was where I observed the utility of this, but it should be
useful in many places across the code base.
