libavfi/dnn: add LibTorch as one of DNN backend

PyTorch is an open source machine learning framework that accelerates
the path from research prototyping to production deployment. Official
website: https://pytorch.org/. We call the C++ library of PyTorch as
LibTorch, the same below.

To build FFmpeg with LibTorch, please take following steps as
reference:
1. download LibTorch C++ library in
 https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/,
please select C++/Java for language, and other options as your need.
Please download cxx11 ABI version:
 (libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-*.zip).
2. unzip the file to your own dir, with command
unzip libtorch-shared-with-deps-latest.zip -d your_dir
3. export libtorch_root/libtorch/include and
libtorch_root/libtorch/include/torch/csrc/api/include to $PATH
export libtorch_root/libtorch/lib/ to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4. config FFmpeg with ../configure --enable-libtorch \
 --extra-cflag=-I/libtorch_root/libtorch/include \
 --extra-cflag=-I/libtorch_root/libtorch/include/torch/csrc/api/include \
 --extra-ldflags=-L/libtorch_root/libtorch/lib/
5. make

To run FFmpeg DNN inference with LibTorch backend:
./ffmpeg -i input.jpg -vf \
dnn_processing=dnn_backend=torch:model=LibTorch_model.pt -y output.jpg

The LibTorch_model.pt can be generated by Python with torch.jit.script()
api. https://pytorch.org/tutorials/advanced/cpp_export.html. This is
pytorch official guide about how to convert and load torchscript model.
Please note, torch.jit.trace() is not recommanded, since it does
not support ambiguous input size.
