movenc: Add a new flag for writing global sidx indexes for dash
The double meaning of the faststart flag (moving a moov atom to the start of files, making them streamable, for non-fragmented files, vs inserting a global sidx index at the start of files for fragmented files) is confusing - see 40ed1cbf1 for explanation of its origins. Since the second meaning of the flag hasn't been part of any libav release yet, just rename it to get rid of the confusion without any extra deprecation (which wouldn't get rid of the potential confusion, of users adding -movflags faststart even for fragmented files, where it isn't needed for making them "streamable"). This gets back the old behaviour, where -movflags faststart doesn't have any effect for fragmented files. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
