AVERROR messages should always be less than zero, and are often FourCCs.
For error codes that aren't explicitly handled by error.c (e.g. undocumented
system error codes, or internal error codes that leaked to the public API),
print the FourCC code so the user has a little more information to work with.
If a non-negative number somehow gets passed to this function,
print a message saying this shouldn't happen.
