That would be useful in this situation indeed.

The basic principle is this: query_formats() sets the formats it can, and if
it could not set everything it returns EAGAIN, and will be called again
later, hopefully when more information is available.

In this situation, I believe the correct flow is this:

    if input formats are not set
        set input formats to all 8 and 16 bits formats
    if input formats still contains several bit depths
        return AVERROR(EAGAIN)
    else
        set output formats to the corresponding gray format

There is a small paragraph in doc/filter_design.txt, it could be expanded,
possibly with an example.
