avformat/mov: add option max_stts_delta

Very high stts sample deltas may occasionally be intended but usually
they are written in error or used to store a negative value for dts correction
when treated as signed 32-bit integers.

This option lets the user set an upper limit, beyond which the delta is clamped to 1.
Values greater than the limit if negative when cast to int32 are used to adjust onward dts.

Unit is the track time scale. Default is UINT_MAX - 48000*10 which
allows upto a 10 second dts correction for 48 kHz audio streams while
accommodating 99.9% of uint32 range.
