Get rid of usage of deprecated palctrl which no longer works anyway. Set up side data instead. Note that for lavf demuxer we will use the merged side data anyway, this is only for our own, e.g. AVI demuxer. Fixes bug #1976.

software scaler filter docs

-ssf cgb=<float> chrominance gaussian blur
        useful for videos with some chroma (color) noise (TV captures, VHS, ...)

-ssf lgb=<float> -> luminance gaussian blur
        hmm, mostly special effect, could be used as lame noise reducer though

-ssf chs=<int> -> shift chrominance horizontally
-ssf cvs=<int> -> shift chrominance vertically
        useful if the luma & chroma are not aligned exactly

-ssf cs=<float> -> chrominance sharpen
-ssf ls=<float> -> luminance sharpen
        simple sharpening filter

note: these will only work if the swscaler is used at all (use -vf scale)

example: mplayer foobar.avi -vf scale -ssf lgb=3.0
