So trying to implement multipass encoding in Transmageddon I realized that I
need to set the 'stats-file' property to the filename I want. I need to be able
to set this at runtime as I don't want a hardcoded name as that risks conflicts
if someone transcodes two files at the same time with two instances of
transmageddon. I also need to point to a good caching directory for the
temporary files.

However I noticed that the ffmpeg encoders use the name 'statsfile' for the
property. Since GstPresets is not useful for this as the value is not something
I can set up front I suggest that the propery in x264enc gets renamed
'statsfile' so that I can use the same property call for both ffmpeg and x264
encoder and that any future encoders supporting multipass encoding get this
property set to that specific value.
