James Almer 3776aadf4b avcodec/encode: add a function to gracefully reconfigure an encoder
In some cases there are compression and resource usage benefits from changing
certain encoder values at runtime over of closing, freeing, allocating and
initializing a whole new encoder. The most obvious case is rate control,
quality settings, and so on. As such, this commit introduces a new function
that attempts to reconfigure an opened encoder with a dictionary of options.

Private options that can be changed are flagged with the runtime AVOption flag.
Global options that can be changed, knowing that each encoder may support some
but not others and as such can't be flagged in the global AVOptions struct,
are signaled the same way through a new field in the FFCodecDefault struct.

An encoder may provide a callback function that will be called for the
reconfiguration process. Simple encoders that can work with only the AVOptions
being reset and don't require any extra steps may just let the default function
be called instead.
