core: add support for precise non-keyframe-limited seeks
Add support for seeking to an arbitrary non-keyframe position by decoding video starting from the previous keyframe. Whether to use this functionality when seeking is controlled by the new option -hr-seek and a new third argument to the "seek" command. The default is to use it for absolute seeks (like chapter seeks) but not for relative ones. Because there's currently no support for cutting encoded audio some desync is expected if encoded audio passthrough is used. Currently precise seeks always go to the first frame with timestamp equal to or greater than the target position; there's no support for "matching or earlier" backwards seeks at frame level.
