lavfi/select: add support for dynamic number of outputs

-An expression, which is evaluated for each input frame. If the expression is
-evaluated to a non-zero value, the frame is selected and passed to the output,
-otherwise it is discarded.
+Set expression, which is evaluated for each input frame.
 
+If the expression is evaluated to zero, the frame is discarded.
+
+If the evaluation result is negative or NaN, the frame is sent to the
+first output; otherwise it is sent to the output with index
+@code{ceil(val)-1}, assuming that the input index starts from 0.
+
+For example a value of @code{1.2} corresponds to the output with index
+@code{ceil(1.2)-1 = 2-1 = 1}, that is the second output.

+@item outputs, n
+Set the number of outputs. The output to which to send the selected
+frame is based on the result of the evaluation. Default value is 1.
