Customize default ladder through JSON data

[mauricioabreu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We already provide a default ladder (passthrough), but it is hardcoded. It would be awesome if this ladder could be configured through JSON file.

Describe the solution you'd like

We can set a path in the container, then the program parses it.
PROS: users can change the default ladder without rebuilding the application.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You are free to suggest other alternatives

Additional context
N/A

Yes!

In video streaming, ladder is the set of quality/resolution/codec/etc offered to end users.

You may want to read service/input.go and service/command.go to see how GPAC command runs and which options are used to generate this ladder.
