Remove the query_format_cache, it is extra complexity that makes improvements difficult while the speed advantage in normal use cases is not measurable.

TODO:
=====

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- remove -vf yuy2, yvu9
- change build & install stuff (cross-lib dependency etc)
  - re-design makefile dependency system
- start using the ffmpeg patch tracker (roundup)
- check if these still matter & fix & apply the needed patches:
  - MPlayer-0.90rc2.rawyuv.diff - raw YUV (I420) video 'encoder'
    (checks requires for stride==width, and aligned planes)
  - bte.diff - something input plugin (uses fork() )
  - lavc_statsfile_errorchecking-patch - handle errors writing to logfile
  - fastermemcpy.diff - cacheline-size dependent optimizations
  - fire-x86-runtime-options.diff - en/disable (force) cpu features runtime
    (needs to be integrated with --runtime-cpu-detection en/disabled modes)
  - mga_vid_laced.diff - buggy interlace support into mga_vid
  - patch_sortsub_disable-1.3x.diff - remove --disable-sortsub
