This change introduces basic support for HEVC decoding through vdpau.
Right now, there are problems with the nvidia driver/library implementation
that mean that frames are incorrectly laid out in memory when they are
returned from the decoder, and it is normally impossible to recover the
complete decoded frame due to loss of data from alignment inconsistencies.
I obviously hope that nvidia will be fixing it in due course - I've verified
the problems exist with their example application.
As such, this support is not useful for any real world application, but I
believe that it is correct (with the caveat that the mangled frames may hide
problems) and will work properly once the nvidia problem is fixed.
Right now it appears that any file encoded by x265 or nvenc is decoded
correctly, but that's because these files don't use a bunch of HEVC
features.
Quick summary:
Features that seem to work:
1) Short Term References
2) Scaling Lists
3) Tiling
Features with known problems:
1) Long Term References
It's hard to tell what's going on here. After I read the nvidia example
app that does not set the IsLongTerm flag on LTRs, and changed my code,
a bunch of frames using LTR started to display correctly, but there
are still samples with glitches that are related to LTRs.
In terms of real world files, both x265 and nvenc only use short term
refs from this list. The divx encoder seems similar.

This allows us to offer the same codec name that libav uses. We don't have
a special way to do aliases, so it's all a bit more verbose than you'd want
but such is life.

For the sake of compatibility, and because pretty much everything else in the
codebase calls it HEVC.

WebPAnimEncoder API is a combination of encoder (WebPEncoder) and muxer
(WebPMux). It performs several optimizations to make it more efficient
than the combination of WebPEncode() and native ffmpeg muxer.
When WebPAnimEncoder API is used:
- In the encoder layer: we use WebPAnimEncoderAdd() instead of
WebPEncode().
- The muxer layer: works like a raw muxer.
On the other hand, when WebPAnimEncoder API isn't available, the old code is
used as it is:
- In the codec layer: WebPEncode is used to encode each frame
- In the muxer layer: ffmpeg muxer is used

Sufficiently new nvenc hardware (GM20x or later) has support for H.265
encoding. This works the same as the H.264 encoder except the
codec parameters are different.
Due to the fact that common codec parameters are not shareable, there's
quite a bit of conditional logic you'd wish we could do without, but
such is life.

Compared to existing, common opensource H264 encoders, this can be
useful since it has got a different license (BSD instead of GPL).
Performance- and qualitywise it is comparable to x264 in ultrafast
mode.
Hooking it up as an encoder in libavcodec also simplifies comparing
it against other common encoders.
This requires OpenH264 1.3 or newer. Since the OpenH264 API and ABI
changes frequently, only releases are supported.
To take advantage of the OpenH264 patent offer, the OpenH264 library
must not be redistributed, but downloaded at runtime at the end-user's
system.
