A large initial_pool_size leads to redundant GPU memory allocations
compared with MSDK.

For some special cases which needs larger GPU memory like look_ahead,
add -extra_hw_frames to allocate more.

CMD:
ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -extra_hw_frames 50 -c:v hevc_qsv -i hevc.h265 -c:v h264_qsv
-look_ahead 1 -look_ahead_depth 50 -y output.h264

Fix #7943.

Should be better add pool size when look_ahead is enabled.

E:g
initial_pool_size = 24 + look_head_depth + s->extra_hw_frames;

you can set a default look_ahead_depth when look_ahead is enabled bu
no depth specified.
