[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfilter/setpts: add option to preserve framerate

[Gyan Doshi]

In f121d95, the outlink framerate was unconditionally unset.
This breaks/bloats outputs from CFR muxers unless the user explicitly
set a sane framerate. And the most common invocation for setpts seen in
workflows, our docs and across the web is `PTS-STARTPTS` or others of the
form `PTS+constant` which preserve the input framerate.

Fixes #11428
