The encoders such as libx264 support different QPs offset for different MBs,
it makes possible for ROI-based encoding. It makes sense to add support
within ffmpeg to generate/accept ROI infos and pass into encoders.
Typical usage: After AVFrame is decoded, a ffmpeg filter or user's code
generates ROI info for that frame, and the encoder finally does the
ROI-based encoding.
The ROI info is maintained as side data of AVFrame.
