Allow bits_per_coded_sample to codec context.

[rvanlaar]

Overview

Add the option to set bits_per_coded_sample on the codec context.

import av
codec = av.codec.Codec("qtrle", "r").create()
p =  av.Packet()
codec.decode(p)

Results in:

Unsupported colorspace: 0 bits/sample?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
InvalidDataError                          Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 codec.decode(p)

InvalidDataError: [Errno 1094995529] Invalid data found when processing input; last error log: [qtrle] Unsupported colorspace: 0 bits/sample?

Desired Behavior

codec = av.codec.Codec("qtrle", "r").create()
codec.bits_per_coded_sample = 24

Example API

codec = av.codec.Codec("qtrle", "r").create()
codec.width = 200
codec.height = 200    
codec.bits_per_coded_sample = 24

Additional context

For QuickTime VR movies I want to decode single frames. This works for RPZA which needs the width and height of a frame. As shown in https://github.com/PyAV-Org/PyAV/issues/1161#issuecomment-1712562068

The QTRLE decoder also needs to the bits_per_coded_sample. Which is here in the ffmpeg code: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/5f8c113b75de9c2a7f49e337cd332abbf8adbb6e/libavcodec/qtrle.c#L409
