AVERROR messages should always be less than zero,
and are usually based on three or four ASCII characters.

For error codes that aren't explicitly handled by error.c (e.g. FFERROR_REDO),
print the ASCII code so the user has a little more information.

If a non-negative number somehow gets passed to this function,
print a message saying this shouldn't happen.
