lavfi/vf_libplacebo: factor out ref frame logic

Instead of finding the ref frame in output_frame() and then passing its
signature to update_crops(), pull out the logic and invoke it a second
time inside update_crops().

This may seem wasteful at present, but will actually become required in
the future, since update_crops() runs on *every* input, and needs values
specific to that input (which the signature isn't), while output_frame()
is only interested in a single input. It's much easier to just split the
logic cleanly.
