movenc: Add an option for skipping writing the mfra/tfra/mfro trailer

When writing a fragmented file, we by default write an index pointing
to all the fragments at the end of the file. This causes constantly
increasing memory usage during the muxing. For live streams, the
index might not be useful at all.

A similar fragment index is written (but at the start of the file) if
the global_sidx flag is set. If ism_lookahead is set, we need to keep
data about the last ism_lookahead+1 fragments.

If no fragment index is to be written, we don't need to store information
about all fragments, avoiding increasing the memory consumption
linearly with the muxing runtime.

This fixes out of memory situations with long live mp4 streams.
