The H.264 spec technically has limits on the number of slices per frame. x264
normally ignores this, since most use-cases that require large numbers of
slices prefer it to. However, certain decoders may break with extremely large
numbers of slices, as can occur with some slice-max-size/mbs settings.

When set, x264 will refuse to create any slices beyond the maximum number,
even if slice-max-size/mbs requires otherwise.
