The proper name for the option and define should be H274, or simply 
film_grain if you're also including AV1FG in it.
I'm not against a change like this, but it needs to be thorough like we 
did with iamfenc and iamfdec, and there's more code handling film grain 
in other modules.

Not sure what Niklas thinks.
