V2: - Refine the name/value type to mb_rate_control/bool.
    - Only supported GEN9+ (SKL/APL/KBL/...)
    - i965 driver default use frame-level rate control algorithm (generate the QP for each frame), 
      when enable mb_rate_control, it's will enable the MB-level RC algorithm (generate the QP for each MB). 
    - enables MB-level bitrate control that generally improves subjective visual quality, 
      but have negative impact on performance and objective visual quality metric.

Subject: [PATCH V2] lavc/vaapi_encode_h264: Enable MB rate control.

Enables macroblock-level bitrate control that generally improves
subjective visual quality. It may have a negative impact on
performance and objective visual quality metrics. Default is off
and can't compatible with Constant QP.
