TV: Add an OpenMAX private decoder

In conjunction with the OpenGL mods for Qt5 and EGLFS, this enables
hardware assisted playback of SD and HD video on a Raspberry Pi2.

NB the Raspberry Pi2 requires a license key to decode MPEG2 & WMV.

In bc81372c38557305fe5764184f13d56c33f0d30a/mythtv:

TV: Add an OpenMAX video renderer

An implementation of VideoOutput? using the OpenMAX API suitable for the
Raspberry Pi.

This is a minimal implementation that uses software deinterlacing,
the 'softblend' OSD and is without picture controls.

The following feaures will be added in due course:

  • Hardware deinterlacing using the 'image_fx' component.
  • Fullscreen OSD.
  • Visualisation
  • 'Picture In/By? Picture'.

AO: Add an OpenMAX audio output device with passthrough support

The user can select from these output devices:
OpenMAX:hdmi
OpenMAX:analog (phono on Raspberry Pi)

If passthrough is enabled then output is forced to HDMI.

This patch also includes a change to AudioOutput? to provide for a different
audio decoder other than Ffmpeg.

This code provides an OpenMAX audio decoder to replace Ffmpeg. However,
in testing it became clear that the current OpenMAX decoder only permits
decoding from PCM to PCM. This apparently is due to licensing issues.

The OpenMAX decoder wrapper is complete but untested. Should the OpenMAX decoder
ever become functional the following warning message will be emitted:

"AudioDecoderOMX::DecodeAudio? is available but untested."

The OpenMAX decoder can then be enabled with the OMXAudioDecoderEnable setting.
