options: turn --idx, --forceidx into --index
Also clarify the semantics.
It seems --idx didn't do anything. Possibly it used to change how the
now removed legacy demuxers like demux_avi used to behave. Or maybe
it was accidental.
--forceidx basically becomes --index=force. It's possible that new
index modes will be added in the future, so I'm keeping it
extensible, instead of e.g. creating --force-index.
