Rework transcoding

Remove some of the roundabout complexity that had built up.  Push people
toward using a single, flexible tool for most of their transcoding
needs.  Increase backend and configuration flexibility to support
user-requested format changes (e.g. for an HTML5 player); this
functionality is not yet exposed.
