The rationale for this function is reflected in the documentation for
it, and is copied here:

Clip a double value into the long long amin-amax range.
This function is needed because conversion of floating point to integers when
it does not fit in the integer's representation does not necessarily saturate
correctly (usually converted to a cvttsd2si on x86) which saturates numbers
> INT64_MAX to INT64_MIN. The standard marks such conversions as undefined
behavior, allowing this sort of mathematically bogus conversions. This provides
a safe alternative that is slower obviously but assures safety and better
mathematical behavior.
API:
@param a value to clip
@param amin minimum value of the clip range
@param amax maximum value of the clip range
@return clipped value

Note that a priori if one can guarantee from the calling side that the
double is in range, it is safe to simply do an explicit/implicit cast,
and that will be far faster. However, otherwise this function should be
used.

avutil minor version is bumped.
