Inline help has the problem that it lacks information, since it
usually consist, when available, of a more or less cryptic single line
of text. A possibility would be to add a long_help option, but I
suggest to follow this path for the moment while a better solution is
developed, having a place where to document the options is already a
big improvement.

The manual labour of keeping in synch avcodec.h/options help/manual is
IMHO a minor issue, given that right now the main problem is that
nobody ever tried to document the various options in the first place.

Patch updated with some manual editing.
