avcodec/packet_internal: Add proper PacketList struct

Up until now, we had a PacketList structure which is actually
a PacketListEntry; a proper PacketList did not exist
and all the related functions just passed pointers to pointers
to the head and tail elements around. All these pointers were
actually consecutive elements of their containing structs,
i.e. the users already treated them as if they were a struct.

So add a proper PacketList struct and rename the current PacketList
to PacketListEntry; also make the functions use this structure
instead of the pair of pointers.
