Update deinterlacing methods to current best practices

Browse Source 
For many years, hardware devices and online streaming platforms
have been capable of 50p or 60p output, so the older advice of
deinterlacing 25i/30i to 25p/30p is no longer necessary.  For matching
the fidelity of interlaced sources as they were originally viewed on
period hardware, each field should be output to its own frame, producing
50p content from 25i sources, and 60p content from 30i sources.  These
updates to ffmprovisr reflect that.

Additionally, the deinterlacing filter advice of yadif or w3fdif has
been changed to bwdif, which combines the best attributes of both older
filters.

By default, <code>libx264</code> will use a chroma subsampling scheme that is the closest match to that of the input.

QuickTime and most other non-FFmpeg based players can’t decode H.264 files that are not 4:2:0, therefore it’s advisable to specify 4:2:0 chroma subsampling.</dd>
