fftools/ffmpeg: disable and deprecate -qphist
This option adds a long string of numbers to the progress line, where i-th number contains the base-2 logarithm of the number of times a frame with this QP value was seen by print_report(). There are multiple problems with this feature: * despite this existing since 2005, web search shows no indication that it was ever useful for any meaningful purpose; * the format of what is printed is entirely undocumented, one has to find it out from the source code; * QP values above 31 are silently ignored; * it only works with one video stream; * as it relies on global state, it is in conflict with ongoing architectural changes. It then seems that the nontrivial cost of maintaining this option is not worth its negligible (or possibly negative - since it pollutes the already large option space) value. Users who really need similar functionality can also implement it themselves using -vstats.
