This commit solves most of the crashes and issues with the encoder and the bitrate setting. Now the encoder will always allocate the absolute lowest amount of memory regardless of what the bitrate has been set to. Therefore if a user inputs a very low bitrate the encoder will use the maximum possible quantization (basically zero out all coefficients), allocate a packet and encode it. There is no coupling between the bitrate and the allocation size and so no crashes because the buffer isn't large enough. The maximum quantizer was raised to the size of the table now to both keep the overshoot at ridiculous bitrates low and to improve quality with higher bit depths (since the coefficients grow larger per transform quantizing them to the same relative level requires larger quantization indices). Since the quantization index start follows the previous quantization index for that slice, the quantization step was reduced to a static 1 to improve performance. Previously with quant/5 the step was usually set to 0 upon start (and was later clipped to 1), that isn't a big change. As the step size increases so does the amount of bits leftover and so the redistribution algorithm has to iterate more and thus waste more time.

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list using
git format-patch or git send-email. Github pull requests should be
avoided because they are not part of our review process. Few developers
follow pull requests so they will likely be ignored.
