video: remove user-controllable PTS sorting (--pts-association-mode)

Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.

While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.

-    Select the method used to determine which container packet timestamp
-    corresponds to a particular output frame from the video decoder. Normally

-    :decoder: Use decoder reordering functionality. Unlike in classic MPlayer

-    :sort:    Maintain a buffer of unused pts values and use the lowest value
