From: Wenbin Chen <wenbin.chen@intel.com>

Add qsv_transcode example which shows how to use qsv to do hardware
accelerated transcoding, also show how to dynamically set encoding
parameters.

examples:
Normal usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 h264_qsv output.mp4 "g 60"

Dynamic setting usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 hevc_qsv output.mp4 "g 60 asyne_depth 1"
100 "g 120"
This command initializes codec with gop_size 60 and change it to
120 after 100 frames

LGTM. Is there any comment for this example? I'll merge it if no comment /
objection.
