Subject: [PATCH] avutil/eval: add function to track variable use

Helps avoid multiple evals of cross-referenced expressions
and catch the use of non-applicable variables with respect
to eval or special mode in filters
Maybe you should provide more details of the use case of this, maybe
with an example. Because it seems not completely obvious
An example of a cross-referenced expression would be 'y=x+rand(10)'.
Normally in filters, X would be evaluated first, then Y, then X again. The 2nd eval of X will overwrite the first and can generate a different value.
With this func, we can avoid the 2nd eval.

I'm in the process of modifying the scale filter to allow 'n', 't', 'pos' variables in frame eval mode (it already supports dynamic output based on incoming frame changes) and I would like to catch their presence in init mode, since av_expr_eval will fail. Now, it can also fail due to circularly
referenced expressions e.g. 'x=y+10' and 'y=x+10' and there's no way to
detect whether it's this case or if inapplicable variables have been used.
please add this (or similar information) to the commit message

Done.

Ping.
