It is well known that fabs and fabsf are at least as fast and sometimes
faster than the FFABS macro, at least on the gcc+glibc combination.
For instance, see the reference:
http://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/6735/.
This was a patch to glibc in order to remove their usages of a macro.
The reason essentially boils down to fabs using the __builtin_fabs of
the compiler, while FFABS needs to infer to not use a branch and to
simply change the sign bit. Usually the inference works, but sometimes
it does not. This may be easily checked by looking at the asm.
This also has the added benefit of reducing macro usage, which has
problems with side-effects.
Note that avcodec is not handled here, as it is huge and
most things there are integer arithmetic anyway.
Tested with FATE.

Many of the functions from avfilter/formats can return errors, usually AVERROR(ENOMEM).
This propagates the return values.
All of these were found by using av_warn_unused_result, demonstrating its utility.
Tested with FATE. I am least sure of the changes to avfilter/filtergraph,
since I don't know what/how reduce_format is intended to behave and how it should
react to errors.
Fixes: CID 1325680, 1325679, 1325678.
