The original interpolation algorithm behaved poorly on the borders and
did not even guarantee continuity at the borders. For this reason, a
second interpolation/blending pass was required on the borders to make
them seamless.
However, since the interpolation algorithm was improved in June 2013,
the border issues no longer exist. The new algorithm does guarantee
continuity at the borders, making the second pass useless. A larger
band always increases the cumulated interpolation error. In most cases
it also increases the average interpolation error, even though the
samples in the band are only partially interpolated.
For this reason I would like to get rid of the "band" parameter. As a
first step, let's change its default value from 4 to 1 and document it
as deprecated.
I have benchmarked this change on a combination of input sources and
realistic logo areas. Lowering the band value from 4 to 1 resulted in
8 to 39 % less interpolation error per frame (or 1 to 34 % less
interpolation error per luma sample.)

lavfi: do not exclude hwaccel formats from ff_all_formats()

The code assumed that the outermost interpolated pixels were always in
the fuzzy area defined by the band option. However if the band value
is small, there may be no fuzzy area on a given plane. In that case,
option show did not work, no rectangle was drawn (or only on the luma
plane, depending on the band value and chroma plane subsampling
factors.)
Fix the problem by not making any assumption on where the outermost
interpolated pixels will be.
The new code was verified to produce the same result as the original
code when the band value is not small.
