Some 24Hz mpeg4 videos in AVI container plays extremely poorly. Lots of dropped frames

This only occurs with VDPAU using an nvidia cards.

In 2502f4a3c45b76684d1d37b9b6d39112c3fffd09/mythtv:

Only use VDPAU hwaccel API for mpeg container

The use of VDPAU hwaccel API was an attempt to fix #11377. However, the underlying problem is a FFmpeg libavformat bug (​https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2915).

FFmpeg 1.2's VDPAU hwaccel is clearly unstable. 24fps AVI would play at half that rate, cause crashes with nouveau or visual distortion with AMD

As the aim is only to fix #11377, only enable the hwaccel API for the mpeg container.

Add a "vdpauhwaccel" setting override to completely disable VDPAU hwaccel under all circumstances

Fixes #12162
