If reading the header fails, the demuxer's read_close() function (if existing) is not called automatically; instead several demuxers call it via "goto fail" in read_header(). This commit intends to change this by adding an internal flag for demuxers that can be used to set on a per-AVInputFormat basis whether read_close() should be called generically after an error during read_header(). The flag controlling this behaviour needs to be added because it might be unsafe to call read_close() generally (e.g. this might lead to read_close() being called twice and this might e.g. lead to double-frees if av_free() is used instead of av_freep(); or a size field has not been reset after freeing the elements (see the mov demuxer for an example of this)).
