add option to write animations in mp4

[iluise]

Describe the task. It can be a feature, documentation, etc.

We should add an option in global_plotting_options to save the animations as mp4 or gif. We need to investigate the compression factor for the mp4 and keep it as low as possible.

command Matthias is using right now to generate mp4 files:

ffmpeg -framerate 8 -pattern_type glob -i "*q_850*.png" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p q850.mp4
