Allows forcing the input format for ffmpeg backend to VideoCapture
I ran into a problem where ffmpeg would not recognise the video format of a .dav file produced by a security camera. Forcing ffmpeg to just assume h264 worked for me, but I had no way of specifying this using OpenCV.
This small patch allows you to specify input format using the OPENCV_FFMPEG_CAPTURE_OPTIONS environment variable, adding the key input_format. I figured it might be useful for others too, hence the PR.
