The twoloop coder sounds decent at low bitrates, however at higher bitrates
it sounds worse than the fast coder (which used to be the old twoloop coder
before October 2015) and needs quite a lot more CPU.
Change the default to fast. It has been well tested and has had little changes
over the years so its been confirmed to be quite stable.
Also change its description (not valid for more than a year) and the
documentation.

This commit implements support for PCE (Program Configuration Elements) in the
AAC encoder, and as such allows for encoding of channel layouts not present
in the presets defined by the spec (which only lists the 8 most common ones).
This has been a highly requested feature and is also the first open source encoder
to support this many layouts.
Many thanks to pkviet <pkv.stream@gmail.com> who implemented support for and
verified all channel layouts.

Using lfg was an overkill in this case where the random numbers
were only used for encoder descisions. Should increase result
uniformity between different FPUs and gives a slight speedup.

Takes into account whether there's pairing and if there's an LFE channel.
An SCE has more bits than CPE/2 since IS and M/S save quite a lot of bits
when channels are paired. And most of the SCEs we have are in surround
layouts which map it to the center channel, which usually carries all of
the dialogue and compression artifacts there are easily audiable.
Also refactors the init function a little bit and labels some parts of it.

Change the condition for application of the M/S transform to match
that of the decoder. Namely, that no special coding books must be
in use in either channel. While the condition ought to be
equivalent to the current one when the invariant of is_mask is
kept, matching the decoder's condition is safer and easier to
maintain.
The type of last_frame_pb_count was chosen to be an int since overflow
is impossible (the spec says the maximum bits per frame is 6144 per
channel and the encoder checks for that).

These variables are coming from mpegvideoenc where are supposedly used
as bit counters on various frame properties. However their use is
unclear as they lack documentation, are available only from a very small
subset of encoders, and they are hardly used in the wild. Also frame_bits
in aacenc is employed in a similar way.
Remove this functionality from AVCodecContex, these variable are mostly
frame properties, and too few encoders support setting them with anything
useful.

Thiss commit removes the experimental flag from the native AAC Encoder
and thus makes it the default.
After a lot of work, done by myself and Claudio Freire, the quality of
this encoder rivals and surpasses libfdk_aac in some situations. The
encoder had instability issues earlier which prevented it from having
its experimental flag removed, however the last commits done by Claudio
removed the last known source of instability and solved a lot of
problems which were previously observed. The issues were caused by the
various coding tools interfering with the scalefactor indices. Thus,
with these problems solved, it should now be possible to declare this
encoder as the default and recommend that the users should use it
instead of others provided by external libraries, as it is both faster
and has a subjectively higher quality with selected tracks.
The encoder has still yet to be fine tuned for every possible audio file
type like music or voice, so it is hoped that with the experimental flag
removed the users should be able to provide feedback and make the
encoder better than the alternatives for every type of audio and at
every bitrate.

This coder produces a much lower quality audio than the rest, is much
slower and is unstable. Hasn't been updated for a very long time as
well, hence it is more appropriate to remove it since it also depends on
a big burden of a code (the encode_window_bands_info function which is
just as old, just as unstable and bad and in no way modifiable or
fixable).

This patch does 4 things, all of which interact and thus it
woudln't be possible to commit them separately without causing
either quality regressions or assertion failures.
Fate comparison targets don't all reflect improvements in
quality, yet listening tests show substantially improved quality
and stability.
1. Increase SF range utilization.
The spec requires SF delta values to be constrained within the
range -60..60. The previous code was applying that range to
the whole SF array and not only the deltas of consecutive values,
because doing so requires smarter code: zeroing or otherwise
skipping a band may invalidate lots of SF choices.
This patch implements that logic to allow the coders to utilize
the full dynamic range of scalefactors, increasing quality quite
considerably, and fixing delta-SF-related assertion failures,
since now the limitation is enforced rather than asserted.
2. PNS tweaks
The previous modification makes big improvements in twoloop's
efficiency, and every time that happens PNS logic needs to be
tweaked accordingly to avoid it from stepping all over twoloop's
decisions. This patch includes modifications of the sort.
3. Account for lowpass cutoff during PSY analysis
The closer PSY's allocation is to final allocation the better
the quality is, and given these modifications, twoloop is now
very efficient at avoiding holes. Thus, to compute accurate
thresholds, PSY needs to account for the lowpass applied
implicitly during twoloop (by zeroing high bands).
This patch makes twoloop set the cutoff in psymodel's context
the first time it runs, and makes PSY account for it during
threshold computation, making PE and threshold computations
closer to the final allocation and thus achieving better
subjective quality.
4. Tweaks to RC lambda tracking loop in relation to PNS
Without this tweak some corner cases cause quality regressions.
Basically, lambda needs to react faster to overall bitrate
efficiency changes since now PNS can be quite successful in
enforcing maximum bitrates, when PSY allocates too many bits
to the lower bands, suppressing the signals RC logic uses to
lower lambda in those cases and causing aggressive PNS.
This tweak makes PNS much less aggressive, though it can still
use some further tweaks.
Also update MIPS specializations and adjust fuzz
