lavc/qsvenc: enable hevc gpb option

GPB is the default type, just contains forward references but the
slice_type is B slice with higher encoding efficiency than regular P
slice, but lower performance.

Add an option to allow user to set regular P slice.

Fix ticket#6870

Test data on Intel Kabylake (i7-7567U CPU @ 3.50GHz):
1. ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4 -vsync passthrough
-vframes 1000  -c:v hevc_qsv -gpb 0 -bf 0 -q 25 test_gpb_off_bf0_kbl.mp4

transcoding fps: 85
encoded file size of test_gpb_off_bf0_kbl.mp4: 21960100 (bytes)

2. ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4 -vsync passthrough
-vframes 1000  -c:v hevc_qsv -gpb 1 -bf 0 -q 25 test_gpb_on_bf0_kbl.mp4

transcoding fps: 79
encoded file size oftest_gpb_on_bf0_kbl.mp4:  21211449 (bytes)

In this case, enable gpb can bring about 7% performance drop but 3.4% encoding efficiency improvment.
