Would it be better to make it optional for user instead of totally constant or
variable, and won't break the default behavior.

(like "-flags low_delay" which add AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY for user context,
and disables frame_threading_supported )

In this case, maybe a new flag (not sure whether identical flag has existed) which allows
frame threading but with no constant N frame cached.
