Allow vtag to be set

Overview

In FFmpeg we're able too set vtag for a stream, for example hvc1 is a tag of HEVC, so that we can play with QuickTime Player on a Mac (QuickTime only plays HEVC streams with the vtag hvc1, but the default vtag of libx265 is hev1).

Existing FFmpeg API

I'm not familiar with the C API of FFmpeg, I can only tell the command line option that set the vtag. ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -vtag hvc1 output.mov OR ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -tag:v hvc1 output.mov

Expected PyAV API

Like what setting pix_fmt is like. https://pyav.org/docs/stable/cookbook/numpy.html#generating-video

Example:

container = av.open('test.mov', mode='w')
stream = container.add_stream('libx265', rate=30)
stream.tag = 'hvc1'
