Theoretically, you could combine idet and select. Practically this
requires at least two steps, mark interlaced frames as such through
metadata, and allow the select filter to access metadata
(e.g. select=if(metadata(lavfi.idet.interlaced))).

As alternative, scripting would allow that easily with user-provided
filtering logic.

I also wonder how the idet detection code compares with the one in
dint (we should probably factorize and pick the best one).
