[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavutil/avstring: av_match_list: Update API documentation

[Alexander Strasser via ffmpeg-devel <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>]

Since av_match_list was added in commit 0d92b0d5f445d4f2 , this
function changed its semantics shortly after, especially with
commit 3c0b98dced394da3 .
