Use wallclock as timestamps.

-Shift timestamps to make them positive. 1 enables, 0 disables, default
-of -1 enables when required by target format.
-When timestamps are shifted, all timestamps of a output file are shifted

When avoid_negative_ts is used together with copyts, vsync or async then
avoid_negative_ts is applied last. This is neccessary so that containers
which do not support negative timestamps wont get any and can be used
