[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/movenc: add write_mdcv flag to write mdcv atom

The mdcv atom isn't in ISO/IEC 14496-12:2015 so the flag is marked as
experimental and the mdcv atom is not written by default.

The mdcv atom is referenced by e.g., [1][2] and is already parsed in FFmpeg
in mov.c.

Once ISO/IEC 14496-12 standardizes the mdcv atom (which I assume it will?)
then we can switch this to write the mdcv atom by default (if the metadata
exists) and remove the write_mdcv flag.
