Make av_strerror() return -1 even in the case when av_strerror_r() is
not defined. This allows applications to check if av_strerror() cannot provide a meaningful representation for the provided error code, without having to actually check the filled string. Originally committed as revision 23031 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
