I do not know what the option does, and therefore can not propose a
better name.

All I know is that we decided not to build an inconvenient
infrastructure to avoid the collision between global, format, codecs
options, at the cost of having to be careful when adding said options.
This is exactly one of these cases: "format" can be added as a global
option, as a ffmpeg.c option or anything else, because it is very
generic.
