 This patch generalizes the "seek to exact frame" mechanism by allowing
 seeks to snap to the nearest keyframe if it is close enough (within a
 specified snap distance).  Exact seeking uses a snap of 0 frames, and
 inexact seeking uses maxuint64 frames.

 This is used to improve response time in the program editor.  When the
 seek amount is 0.5 seconds or higher, a snap distance of half the seek
 distance is used.  This can dramatically speed up editing, especially for
 HDPVR recordings where h.264 seeking is slow and (on my system) keyframes
 are 128 frames apart.

 Snapping is not yet implemented in avformatdecoder.cpp because I don't
 know how to trigger that code path.

 In the program editor, snapping could be made optional via an additional
 set of key bindings.
