That is true, I was thinking about it from the library perspective.
libx264 doesn't mention this behavior but the codec options section
does talk about setting these from the API, so I think a note is
worthwhile as this is the only point of documentation for the codec
wrapper.

Since libvpx supports a reconfigure it should be safe to check the
options again. There is some complexity in that, though, so we can
leave this as a targeted approach similar to libx264 for now unless
others have a strong opinion.
