Zhao Zhili 0a44e7ddc1 avformat: add iTerm2 inline image protocol muxer
Add a muxer that wraps encoded image in the iTerm2 inline image protocol
(OSC 1337) so ffmpeg can play video directly in an iTerm2 terminal. The
output is a self-contained byte stream: it can be played live or saved
to a file and replayed with cat.
