oggenc: add a page_duration option and deprecate the pagesize option

This uses page duration instead of byte size to determine when to buffer
the page. Also, it tries to avoid continued pages by buffering the current
page if there are already packets in the page and adding the next packet
would require it to be continued on a new page. This can improve seeking
performance.

The default page duration is 1 second, which is much saner than filling
all page segments by default.

+Ogg container muxer.
+
+@table @option
+@item -page_duration @var{duration}
+Preferred page duration, in microseconds. The muxer will attempt to create
+pages that are approximately @var{duration} microseconds long. This allows the
+user to compromise between seek granularity and container overhead. The default
+is 1 second. A value of 0 will fill all segments, making pages as large as
+possible. A value of 1 will effectively use 1 packet-per-page in most
+situations, giving a small seek granularity at the cost of additional container
+overhead.
