af: remove deprecated audio filters

These couldn't be relicensed, and won't survive the LGPL transition. The
other existing filters are mostly LGPL (except libaf glue code).

This remove the deprecated pan option. I guess it could be restored by
inserting a libavfilter filter (if there's one), but for now let it be
gone.

This temporarily breaks volume control (and things related to it, like
replaygain).

-    If the sample rate of the sound being played is lower than the center

-    bug with this filter is that the characteristics for the uppermost band
-    are not completely symmetric if the sample rate is close to the center
-    frequency of that band. This problem can be worked around by upsampling
-    the sound using a resampling filter before it reaches this filter.

-``channels=nch[:routes]``
-    Can be used for adding, removing, routing and copying audio channels. If
-    only ``<nch>`` is given, the default routing is used. It works as follows:
-    If the number of output channels is greater than the number of input
-    channels, empty channels are inserted (except when mixing from mono to
-    stereo; then the mono channel is duplicated). If the number of output
-    channels is less than the number of input channels, the exceeding

-        Each pair defines where to route each channel. There can be at most

-            Observe that if media containing two channels were played back,
-            channels 2 and 3 would contain silence but 0 and 1 would still be

-``volume[=<volumedb>[:...]]``
-    Implements software volume control. Use this filter with caution since it
-    can reduce the signal to noise ratio of the sound. In most cases it is
-    best to use the *Master* volume control of your sound card or the volume
-    knob on your amplifier.
-
-    *WARNING*: This filter is deprecated. Use the top-level options like
-    ``--volume`` and ``--replaygain...`` instead.
-
-    *NOTE*: This filter is not reentrant and can therefore only be enabled
-    once for every audio stream.
-
-    ``<volumedb>``
-        Sets the desired gain in dB for all channels in the stream from -200 dB
-        to +60 dB, where -200 dB mutes the sound completely and +60 dB equals a
-        gain of 1000 (default: 0).
-    ``replaygain-track``
-        Adjust volume gain according to the track-gain replaygain value stored
-        in the file metadata.
-    ``replaygain-album``
-        Like replaygain-track, but using the album-gain value instead.
-    ``replaygain-preamp``
-        Pre-amplification gain in dB to apply to the selected replaygain gain
-        (default: 0).
-    ``replaygain-clip=yes|no``
-        Prevent clipping caused by replaygain by automatically lowering the
-        gain (default). Use ``replaygain-clip=no`` to disable this.
-    ``replaygain-fallback``
-        Gain in dB to apply if the file has no replay gain tags. This option
-        is always applied if the replaygain logic is somehow inactive. If this
-        is applied, no other replaygain options are applied.
-    ``softclip``
-        Turns soft clipping on. Soft-clipping can make the
-        sound more smooth if very high volume levels are used. Enable this
-        option if the dynamic range of the loudspeakers is very low.
-
-        *WARNING*: This feature creates distortion and should be considered a
-        last resort.
-    ``s16``
-        Force S16 sample format if set. Lower quality, but might be faster
-        in some situations.
-    ``detach``
-        Remove the filter if the volume is not changed at audio filter config
-        time. Useful with replaygain: if the current file has no replaygain
-        tags, then the filter will be removed if this option is enabled.
-        (If ``--softvol=yes`` is used and the player volume controls are used
-        during playback, a different volume filter will be inserted.)

-    .. admonition:: Example
-
-        ``mpv --af=volume=10.1 media.avi``
-            Would amplify the sound by 10.1 dB and hard-clip if the sound level
-            is too high.

-``pan=n:[<matrix>]``
-    Mixes channels arbitrarily. Basically a combination of the volume and the
-    channels filter that can be used to down-mix many channels to only a few,
-    e.g. stereo to mono, or vary the "width" of the center speaker in a
-    surround sound system. This filter is hard to use, and will require some
-    tinkering before the desired result is obtained. The number of options for
-    this filter depends on the number of output channels. An example how to
-    downmix a six-channel file to two channels with this filter can be found
-    in the examples section near the end.
-
-    ``<n>``
-        Number of output channels (1-8).
-    ``<matrix>``
-        A list of values ``[L00,L01,L02,...,L10,L11,L12,...,Ln0,Ln1,Ln2,...]``,
-        where each element ``Lij`` means how much of input channel i is mixed
-        into output channel j (range 0-1). So in principle you first have n
-        numbers saying what to do with the first input channel, then n numbers
-        that act on the second input channel etc. If you do not specify any
-        numbers for some input channels, 0 is assumed.
-        Note that the values are separated by ``,``, which is already used
-        by the option parser to separate filters. This is why you must quote
-        the value list with ``[...]`` or similar.
-
-    .. admonition:: Examples
-
-        ``mpv --af=pan=1:[0.5,0.5] media.avi``
-            Would downmix from stereo to mono.
-
-        ``mpv --af=pan=3:[1,0,0.5,0,1,0.5] media.avi``
-            Would give 3 channel output leaving channels 0 and 1 intact, and mix
-            channels 0 and 1 into output channel 2 (which could be sent to a
-            subwoofer for example).
-
-    .. note::
-
-        If you just want to force remixing to a certain output channel layout,
-        it is easier to use the ``format`` filter. For example,
-        ``mpv '--af=format=channels=5.1' '--audio-channels=5.1'`` would always force
-        remixing audio to 5.1 and output it like this.
-
-    This filter supports the following ``af-command`` commands:
-
-    ``set-matrix``
-        Set the ``<matrix>`` argument dynamically. This can be used to change
-        the mixing matrix at runtime, without reinitializing the entire filter
-        chain.
-
 ``scaletempo[=option1:option2:...]``
     Scales audio tempo without altering pitch, optionally synced to playback
     speed (default).
