Allow supporting files for which the image stride is smaller than
the maximum block size + number of subpel mc taps, e.g. a 64x64 VP9
file or a 16x16 VP8 file with -fflags +emu_edge.

This is necessary to avoid target config settings bleeding into the host
compilation process with hardcoded tables and the DV VLC tables no longer
present as static tables in a header file.

Prevents referencing empty frames when the first packet after the flush
does not contain a frame.
