Jim DeLaHunt 152902f379 doc: Add FAQs about running in background (rev 2)
Add two FAQs about running FFmpeg in the background.
The first explains the use of the -nostdin option in
a straightforward way. Text revised based on review.

The second FAQ starts from a confusing error message,
and leads to the solution, use of the -nostdin option.
The purpose of the second FAQ is to attract web searches
from people having the problem, and offer them a solution.

Add an anchor to the Main Options section of the ffmpeg
documentation, so that the FAQs can link directly there.

Anton Khirnov fb722a900f avconv: remove -same_quant
It has not worked for anything other than fringe codecs (asv1/2, mdec,
mjpeg[b]) since about 2003 and nobody ever noticed or complained. This
sufficiently proves that there are no users of this option who have a
clue of what they are doing, so it is completely useless.
