Previously, using a filter that changed frame_rate/time_base would work
as expected with mpegtsenc, but duplicate frames when used with hlsenc
(which uses mpegtsenc underneath).

For instance, using https://tmm1.s3.amazonaws.com/720p.ts:

    $ ffmpeg -i 720p.ts -c:v libx264 -an -filter:v "yadif=mode=send_field:deint=interlaced" -f mpegts -y single.ts
    $ ffmpeg -i 720p.ts -c:v libx264 -an -filter:v "yadif=mode=send_field:deint=interlaced" -f hls -hls_time 30 -y segment.m3u8

One would expect single.ts and segment0.ts to be identical, however comparing them shows:

    single.ts:   120 fps,  59.94 tbr, 90k tbn, 239.76 tbc
    segment0.ts: 120 fps, 119.88 tbr, 90k tbn, 239.76 tbc

Without AVFMT_VARIABLE_FPS set, ffmpeg.c was duplicating frames in the hlsenc
case and generating segments with double the r_frame_rate.

After this commit, the two muxers generate identical output.

But the mp4 muxer does not support variable frame rate output...
