libavfilter/vf_scale: Ensure scaled video is divisible by n
This patch adds a new option to the scale filter which ensures that the output resolution is divisible by the given integer when used together with `force_original_aspect_ratio`. This works similar to using `-n` in the `w` and `h` options. This option respects the value set for `force_original_aspect_ratio`, increasing or decreasing the resolution accordingly. The use case for this is to set a fixed target resolution using `w` and `h`, to use the `force_original_aspect_ratio` option to make sure that the video always fits in the defined bounding box regardless of aspect ratio, but to also make sure that the calculated output resolution is divisible by n so in can be encoded with certain encoders/options if that is required.
