avfilter/vf_deshake: replace qsort with AV_QSORT

qsort is called indirectly in filter_frame, suggesting its performance
criticality. AV_QSORT is substantially faster due to the inlining of the
comparison callback. Thus, the increase in performance should be worth
the increase in binary size.

This optimization is just a low hanging fruit. The trac ticket 1430 is
a request for an improved deshake filter.

Sample benchmark (x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux):
