Many filters modify certain aspects of frame data, e.g. through resizing (vf_*scale* family), color volume mapping (vf_lut*, vf_tonemap*), or possibly others. When this happens, we should strip all frame side data that will no longer be correct/relevant after the operation. For example, changing the image size should invalidate AV_FRAME_DATA_PANSCAN because the crop window (given in pixels) no longer corresponds to the actual image size. For another example, tone-mapping filters (e.g. from HDR to SDR) should strip all of the dynamic HDR related metadata. Since there are a lot of different side data types that are affected by such operations, it makes sense to establish this information in a common, easily accessible way. The existing side data properties enum is a perfect fit for this.
