> H264
> 
> Add VDENC(lowpower mode) support for QSV H264
> 
> It's an experimental function(like lowpower in vaapi) with some limitations:
> - CBR/VBR require HuC which should be explicitly loaded via i915 module
> parameter(i915.enable_guc=2 for linux kernel version >= 4.16)
> 
> Use option "-low_power 1" to enable VDENC.
> Add in dump_video_param() to show the status of VDENC in runtime log.

> [v2]: Modify the commit message and option comments, use
> AV_OPT_TYPE_BOOL to replace AV_OPT_TYPE_INT.
> [v3]: Enable H264 VDENC separately.
> [v4]: Add in dump_video_param to show the status of VDENC in runtime log.
> [v5]: Use print_threestate.

CQP mode tested, and patch applied since https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/1010 has been fixed.
