x264enc: Disable I weighted pred

Recent versions of x264 have added a "i_weighted_pred" parameter. If it is not
0, it will set the profile to main. So that means that x264enc will never
produce baseline streams. That causes interoperability issues with many
decoders that only support baseline. Including the decoder on the N900 and the
decoder that is used by Google Talk's video calling thing (bug #612338).

My simple solution for this release is to just disable that thing entirely
(although I have no idea what it does, so I added Jason in CC). I guess it
would be a better solution to fix bug #607798..
