replace (disabled by default) assert(0) by abort() if the picture buffer

overflows due to a buggy codec
note, ive not checked if such overflows could have been exploitable before this

/*we could return -1 but the codec would crash anyway, trying to draw
into, a non existing frame, this is safer than waiting for a random crash
also the return of this is never usefull, a encoder must only allocate
as many as allowed in the spec which has no relation to how many lavc
could allocate (and MAX_PICTURE_COUNT is always large enough for such
valid streams)
and a decoder has to check stream validity and remove frames if too many
reference frames are around. waiting for "OOM" is not correct at all, it
similarely has to replace missing reference frames by (interpolated/MC)
frames anything else is a bug in the codec ...
