 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
