 Summary of the bug:
 I am getting unexpected results when calculating PSNR averaged over y/u/v
 channels.

 Here is an example command and output:

 }}}

 Taking the first frame as an example, I would expect `psnr_avg` to be:

 `10 * log10(average_max^2 / mse_avg) = 10 * log10 * (255^2 / 38.32) =
 32.30 `

 However, this is reported as `32.26` by ffmpeg. If I instead use
 `average_max = 254` in the above calculation, I get `32.26`.

 I believe `255` is the correct value for `average_max`, but it looks like
 it may be calculated incorrectly for some pixel formats due to rounding
 errors - it is calculated
 [https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.0/vf__psnr_8c_source.html#l00278  here]. For
 yuv420p pixel format, I would expect the values of `planeweight` to be
 `[4/6, 1/6, 1/6]` and `max` to be `[255, 255, 255]`. I would therefore
 expect `average_max` to be given by:

 `average_max = (4/6 * 255) + (1/6 * 255) + (1/6 * 255) = 170.0 + 42.5 +
 42.5 = 255.0`

 However, since `average_max` is of type `int`
 ([https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.0/vf__psnr_8c_source.html#l00046 defined
 here]), this looks as though it would actually become:

 `average_max = (4/6 * 255) + (1/6 * 255) + (1/6 * 255) = 170 + 42 + 42 =
 254`

 I believe this would explain the discrepancy and changing the type of
 `average_max` to `double` should fix it.
