commands: replace --hardframedrop, change framedropping property
Replace --hardframedrop with --framedrop=hard. Rename the framedrop property from "framedropping" to "framedrop" for the sake of making command line options have the same name as their corresponding property. Change the property to accept choice values instead of numeric values. Remove unused/forgotten auto_quality variable.
