Add a VBR option for audio codecs that support it

See original GitHub issue

I saw a pull request that is like 3 years old, not sure why it still hasn’t been merged, for now I changed a few lines to make it use VBR whenever it sees libfdk_aac: avcodecs.py:161

            if self.ffmpeg_codec_name == 'libfdk_aac':
                optlist.extend(['-vbr', '5'])
            else:
                optlist.extend(['-b:a:' + stream, str(br) + 'k'])

it took some effort to find it as I haven’t really dug into this project much, but anyways adding this feature is a must IMO
