avformat/mux: Allow muxers to set custom min timestamp

Matroska requires pts to be >= 0 with a slight exception:
It has a mechanism to deal with codec delay, i.e. with
the data added at the beginning that does not correspond
to actual input data and should be discarded by the player.
Only the audio actually intended to be output needs to have
a timestamp >= 0.
In order to avoid unnecessary timestamp shifting, this patch
allows muxers to inform the shifting code about this so that
it can take it into account.
