    improve average framerate calculation · f7e187d3
    John Koleszar authored
    Change Ice204e86 identified a problem with bitrate undershoot due to
    low precision in the timestamps passed to the library. This patch
    takes a different approach by calculating the duration of this frame
    and passing it to the library, rather than using a fixed duration
    and letting the library average it out with higher precision
    timestamps. This part of the fix only applies to vpxenc.
    
    This patch also attempts to fix the problem for generic applications
    that may have made the same mistake vpxenc did. Instead of
    calculating this frame's duration by the difference of this frame's
    and the last frame's start time, we use the end times instead. This
    allows the framerate calculation to scavenge "unclaimed" time from
    the last frame. For instance:
    
      start |  end  | calculated duration
