We discussed this on IRC, and since the new behavior is apparently
annoying to many users which rely on parsing ffmpeg/libx264 output,
I'm fine with reverting it.

BUT: I still find the log output issued by libx264 at the info level
pretty annoying (and decreasing S/N ratio), also since that info is
useful for parsing maybe an option should be added to put that info in
a log file rather than in the application log. This should be fixed in
libx264 I guess.
