There are times when we want ffmpeg to log, but we don't want it to
overwrite the log file. In addition to the use case described in the
ticket, a third party tool that invokes ffmpeg may write additional
information to the log file, such as why the encoding options were
chosen.

This implements:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3059

Note: unknown keys are ignored, so adding a new "append" key does not
break backward compatibility.

Maybe "A non zero value", since it will work with more than just 1.
Alternatively, you can check for the argument and error out on anything but 0 or 1.

Don't silently ignore invalid arguments. See how level is handled above.
