Current default is 256kbps, which produces inconsistent
results (too high for low-res, too low for hi-res).
Use CRF instead, which will adapt.

Unless the docs are out of date this should be AOM_CQ level since crf
is mapped to that control [1].

"For this value to be used aom_codec_enc_cfg_t::rc_end_usage must be
set to #AOM_CQ."

I believe the documentation is out of date. I added some debug
statements and verified that variable was being used to pull CRF
values when AOM_Q mode is set. I have
https://aomedia-review.googlesource.com/c/aom/+/94104 out to update
the documentation.

It appears that CRF=32 is a better default, since the scale is
different from other codecs. I will start a new thread.

Thanks for making the update to the docs. Note that inline replies are
