encode: don't apply default config options
Often, user configs set options that are not suitable for encoding.
Usually, playback and encoding are pretty different things, so it makes
sense to keep them strictly separate. There are several possible
solutions. The approach taken by this commit is to basically ignore the
default config settings, and switch to an [encoding] config profile
section instead. This also makes it impossible to have --o in a config
file, because --o enables encode mode.
See github issue #727 for discussion.
