We were previously installing hardcoded properties for all
video encoders, refactor to instead use FFmpeg's AVOption API.
avvidenc still exposes a few properties related to the pass
mechanism: while the AVOption API allows specifying both passes
as flags at the same time, this is not practical in GStreamer's
context, where passes need to be run separately using a stats file.

The GObject macros either for GstFFMpegVidDec and GstFFMpegVidEnc can
break the compilation because they are not GTypes, since each av video
elements are registered in runtime.

As some libav encoders (such as MPEG2) use a thread_count parameter to control
how many threads to use, and since it was always being set to 0 (which uses
the default), suboptimal threading can sometimes be chosen. This extends the
libav encoders to allow for a max-threads parameter which is passed into
the internal structure to control this knob if applicable to the encoder.
