[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 05/17] swscale: add SWS_UNSTABLE flag

[Niklas Haas <ffmpeg@haasn.xyz>]

From: Niklas Haas <git@haasn.dev>

Give users and developers a way to opt in to the new format conversion code,
and more code from the swscale rewrite in general, even while development is
still ongoing.
