This allows enabling the frame skipping, which is required for the
encoder to properly hit the target bitrate.

File libopenh264enc.c has been modified so that the encoder uses av_log()
to log messages (error, warning, info, etc.) instead of logging them
directly to stderr. At the time the encoder is created, the current
libav log level is mapped to an equivalent libopenh264 log level. This
log level, and a message logging function that invokes av_log() to
actually log messages, are then set on the encoder.
This contains further changes and simplifications by Michael Niedermayer
and Martin Storsjö.

The 1.3 release branch of OpenH264 (as well as the master branch)
have been updated so that GCC no longer warns about this variable
as being unused.

Compared to existing, common opensource H264 encoders, this can be
useful since it has got a different license (BSD instead of GPL).
Performance- and qualitywise it is comparable to x264 in ultrafast
mode.
Hooking it up as an encoder in libavcodec also simplifies comparing
it against other common encoders.
This requires OpenH264 1.3 or newer. Since the OpenH264 API and ABI
changes frequently, only releases are supported.
To take advantage of the OpenH264 patent offer, the OpenH264 library
must not be redistributed, but downloaded at runtime at the end-user's
system.
