How about adding a lavf option? I could imagine a few ways that could be done, 
but my favorite is to make `AVFMT_NOTIMESTAMPS` imply `AVFMT_TS_NONSTRICT` (on 
the checking code's end), and add an option to re-enable the error (possibly 
downgraded to a warning?) even with non-strict encoders. We could also have the 
option disable the error with strict encoders (but that seems less sensible to 
me).
