Reserving space in Matroska works by writing a Void element. And until now this worked as follows: The current position was recorded and the EBML ID as well as the length field written; then the new position was recorded to know how much more to write. Afterwards the actual writing has been performed via ffio_fill(). But it is unnecessary to explicitly use the positions (obtained via avio_tell()) to find out how much still needs to be written, because the length of the ID and the length field are known. So rewrite the function to no longer use them. Also, given that ffio_fill() uses an int parameter and given that no current caller (and no sane future caller) will want to reserve several GB of space, make the size parameter of put_ebml_void() itself an int.
