movenc: Use packets in interleaving queues for the duration at the end of fragments
As long as caller only writes packets using av_interleaved_write_frame with no manual flushing, this should allow us to always have accurate durations at the end of fragments, since there should be at least one queued packet in each stream (except for the stream where the current packet is being written, but if the muxer itself does the cutting of fragments, it also has info about the next packet for that stream).
