Add two FAQs about running FFmpeg in the background.
The first explains the use of the -nostdin option in
a straightforward way. Text revised based on review.
The second FAQ starts from a confusing error message,
and leads to the solution, use of the -nostdin option.
The purpose of the second FAQ is to attract web searches
from people having the problem, and offer them a solution.
Add an anchor to the Main Options section of the ffmpeg
documentation, so that the FAQs can link directly there.

For some strange reason "-t" option was only implemented
for input files while both "-t" and "-to" were available
for use for output files. This made extracting a range from
input file inconvenient.
This patch enables -to option for input so one can do
ffmpeg -ss 1:23:20 -to 1:27:22.3 -i myinput.mkv ...

The user-supplied value for timecode_rate in drawtext is rounded
to nearest integer. So, a supplied value of 0.49 or lower is rounded to 0.
This throws a misleading error message which says "Timecode frame rate must be
specified". Changed message to account for values under one.
Also noted supported framerates for drop TC.

This patch enables paletteuse to identify the transparency in incoming
video and tag transparent pixels on outgoing video with the correct
index from the palette.
This requires tracking the transparency index in the palette,
establishing an alpha threshold below which a pixel is considered
transparent and above which the pixel is considered opaque, and
additional changes to track the alpha value throughout the conversion
process.
This change is a partial fix for https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4443
However, animated GIFs are still output incorrectly due to a bug
in gif optimization which does not correctly handle transparency.

This adds a new API, which allows the API user to query the required
AVHWFramesContext parameters. This also reduces code duplication across
the hwaccels by introducing ff_decode_get_hw_frames_ctx(), which uses
the new API function. It takes care of initializing the hw_frames_ctx
if needed, and does additional error handling and API usage checking.
Support for VDA and Cuvid missing.

This applies a specific fixup to some Blu-ray streams which contain
redundant PPSs modifying irrelevant parameters of the stream which
confuse other transformations which require correct extradata.
A new single global PPS is created, and all of the redundant PPSs
within the stream are removed.

The libavformat API is not suitable for exporting output devices as muxers.
Some practical problems are e.g. lack of timing/synchronization mechanisms
or interaction with output-specific features.
