api: change --crop-rect to --display-window to avoid confusion

It seems that in x264 --crop-rect defined their conformance window, so it can
be confusing to users that our --crop-rect defined a display window instead.

This commit changes the documentaion to use --display-window but still allows
--crop-rect to be used in the CLI and param_parse() so existing work-flows are
not affected.
