While this may technically be a problem somehow, your replacement seek
function is kinda weird.
If its using SEEK_SET or SEEK_CUR with a positive offset, it could
easily set or retain the current EOF flag, and that should be fixed
inside that function.

The same thing really applies to avio_skip. If its at EOF before the
skip, then it definitely will be at EOF after the skip as well, and
the function should be fixed accordingly, and not some wrapper built
around it.

The only "odd" case is seeking backwards from EOF. It may be wanted or
unwanted behaviour.
