No way to choose pixel format for ffserver

[Alexey Balekhov]

This feature can be simply added by two modifications in ffserver.c:

1. #include "libavutil/pixdesc.h"
2. Add somewhere in parsing part:

           } else if (!av_strcasecmp(cmd, "PixelFormat")) {
               get_arg(arg, sizeof(arg), &p);
               if (stream) {
                   video_enc.pix_fmt = av_get_pix_fmt(arg);
                   if (video_enc.pix_fmt == AV_PIX_FMT_NONE) {
                       ERROR("Unknown pixel format: %s\n", arg);
                   }
               }
   

It works perfectly.
