Libva's VA-API (Video Acceleration API) imported into xenocara

Contributed by Cabal on 2024-07-19 from the fast pixels dept.

In this commit, Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) merged libva 2.22.0 into OpenBSD, enabling VA-API to accelerate video decoding and other hardware assisted operations:

VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which provides
access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for video processing.
It consists of a main library and driver-specific acceleration backends
for each supported hardware vendor.
[..]
AMD drivers tested by landry@, martijn@, kn@, op@ and a few more
Intel driver tested by matthieu@ and me.

The Intel drivers can find in ports graphics/intel-media-driver and
graphics/intel-vaapi-driver. (Depending on your hw)

The ports will be adjusted over time.

Everyone has reported fantastic performance results in Firefox
or mpv(1).
