avformat: convert some avio_flush() calls to avio_write_marker(AVIO_DATA_MARKER_FLUSH_POINT)

Converting explicit avio_flush() calls helps us to buffer more data and avoid
flushing the IO context too often which causes reduced IO throughput for
non-streamed file output.

The user can control FLUSH_POINT flushing behaviour using the -flush_packets
option, the default typically means to flush unless a non-streamed file output
is used, so this change should have no adverse effect on streaming even if it
is assumed that after an avio_flush() the output buffer is clean so small
seekbacks within the output buffer will work even when the IO context is not
seekable.
