I am not aware of this being explicitly documented, but then our
documentation is sadly far from complete.

But this was one of the major reasons for adding avcodec_encode_video2()
back in 2012 (later replaced by avcodec_send_frame()+receive_packet()).
Also see 8de1ee9f725aa3c550f425bd3120bcd95d5b2ea8.
