aacenc: use the fast coder as the default
The twoloop coder sounds decent at low bitrates, however at higher bitrates it sounds worse than the fast coder (which used to be the old twoloop coder before October 2015) and needs quite a lot more CPU. Change the default to fast. It has been well tested and has had little changes over the years so its been confirmed to be quite stable. Also change its description (not valid for more than a year) and the documentation. Signed-off-by: Rostislav Pehlivanov <atomnuker@gmail.com>
