This change makes the configured GOP size be respected exactly -
previously the value could be exceeded slightly due to flaws in the
frame type selection logic.
(cherry picked from commit 37fab0661a)
This allows better checking of capabilities and will make it easier
to add more functionality later.
It also commonises some duplicated code around rate control setup
and adds more comments explaining the internals.
(cherry picked from commit 80a5d05108)
Previously we would allocate a new one for every frame. This instead
maintains an AVBufferPool of them to use as-needed.
Also makes the maximum size of an output buffer adapt to the frame
size - the fixed upper bound was a bit too easy to hit when encoding
large pictures at high quality.
