I have mixed feeelings about this patch, for a bunch of reasons:
* It is quite ad-hoc - we don't do this for other side data types, and
    this approach would not scale if we did.
* If we do want to signal this, we probably want to distinguish between
    support for global and per-packet values.

This patch came to be after some discussion from the first iteration of
the set, where concerns about the cropping information being silently
lost if apply_cropping was disabled during a transcoding or codec copy
scenario where the output format didn't support storing said values.

* How do you expect this to be useful to the callers? I don't see this
    flag actually being used in the ffmpeg CLI patch.

It's a format flag. Muxers use it, and the generic mux.c code will print
a warning if needed.

Why is it public then?

So the library user can know beforehand if the cropping information will be lost or not, and choose accordingly. The warning is there for the cases where it was ignored.

I can add a check to the CLI for it, but other than to abort or outright ignore the user request to not apply cropping i don't see what it could do, as mux.c already prints a warning.
