`--sharpness` parameter for DLF sharpness & rate distortion

Description

Issue

This is the first Merge Request from the SVT-AV1-PSY team aiming to integrate our features into mainline SVT-AV1 under the oversight of Hassene Tmar and Faouzi Kossentini. The --sharpness parameter allows users to manually configure deblocking loop filter sharpness, and it also affects rate control. It is used to great effect in SVT-AV1-PSY's Tune 4, which is designed for still image compression; that being said, it still may be useful for perceptual fidelity in video.

By default, sharpness is set to 0 to preserve mainline's default behavior.
