Add a note explaining that it's okay to use a different target bitrate on the various passes of a video encode

+  If for some reason the video quality of the second pass did not
+  satisfy you, you may re-run your video encode with a different target
+  bitrate, provided that you saved the statistics file of the previous
+  pass.
+  This is possible because the statistics file primary goal is to record
+  the complexity of each frames, which doesn't depend on bitrate.
+  You should note though that you'll get best results if all passes are
+  run with a target bitrate that does not differ too much.
