This can't work, since I need to know the output when doing
query_formats(), and set main and overlay input accordingly.

This is done by extending the logic already there (rgb option) and
fixing the YUV444/YUV420 mismatch. I suppose the next step would be to
add dedicated per-format FATE tests.

Note that a possibly better fix would be to rescale the main and
overlay input to the output format, forced with another mechanism, but
this would add a dependency on libswscale and would possibly
complicate the logic, thus the current hack is good enough for me.

Feel free to propose a better fix.
