    avcodec: Implement mpeg4 nvdec hwaccel · 6b77a10e

    This was predictably nightmarish, given how ridiculous mpeg4 is.
    I had to stare at the cuvid parser output for a long time to work
    out what each field was supposed to be, and even then, I still don't
    fully understand some of them. Particularly:
    
    vop_coded: If I'm reading the decoder correctly, this flag will always
               be 1 as the decoder will not pass the hwaccel any frame
               where it is not 1.
    divx_flags: There's obviously no documentation on what the possible
                flags are. I simply observed that this is '0' for a
                normal bitstream and '5' for packed b-frames.
    gmc_enabled: I had a number of guesses as to what this mapped to.
                 I picked the condition I did based on when the cuvid
                 parser was setting flag.
    
    Also note that as with the vdpau hwaccel, the decoder needs to
    consume the entire frame and not the slice.
