The private options chromaoffset, sc_threshold, and noise_reduction
were set to 0 rather than -1, and were always initializing values
in libx264 rather than letting the library use its default.

This option is only used by mpegvideoenc, x264, xavs, and vpx.
It is a very codec-specific option, so deprecate the global variant.

The b_frame_strategy option is only used by mpegvideoenc, qsv, x264, and
xavs, while b_sensitivity is only used by mpegvideoenc.

Set proper limits to the maximum allowed values.

Most option values are simply unused or ignored and in practice the
majory of codecs only need to check whether to enable rle or not.
Add appropriate codec private options which better expose the allowed
features.

When forwarding the frame type information, by default x264 can
decide which kind of keyframe output, add an option to force it
to output IDR frames in to support use-cases such as preparing
the content for segmented streams formats.
x264 build 147 adds the native support for NV21.
Useful to avoid additional pixel format conversion when encoding
from a wide range of capture devices, Android among those.

This option is extremely codec specific and only a few codecs employ it.
Move it to codec private options instead: mpegenc family supports only 3
values, xavs and x264 use 5, and xvid has a different metric entirely.

The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

This is necessary to preserve the quality information currently exported
with coded_frame. Add the new side data to every encoder that needs it,
and use it in avconv.

Allocating coded_frame is what most encoders do anyway, so it makes
sense to always allocate and free it in a single place. Moreover a lot
of encoders freed the frame with av_freep() instead of the correct API
av_frame_free().
This bring uniformity to encoder behaviour and prevents applications
from erroneusly accessing this field when not allocated. Additionally
this helps isolating encoders that export information with coded_frame,
and heavily simplifies its deprecation.

libx264 has a few data exports which require X264_API_IMPORTS
to be defined if we link to libx264 dynamically on Windows.
In a similar fashion to how we handle our compat snprintf
implementation, if we define it all the time, the compiler
will first try and link to __imp_x264_symbol_name, and failing
that, as in the case of a static libx264, will attempt to link
to the non-prefixed symbol, which has already been pulled in by
other x264 functions' object files.

This also allows libx264 to modify its i_qfactor value
when using the "-tune" setting. Previously it had a static
value of 1.25
