 Key tasks:-

 - remove deprecated libmythui classes
 - migrate to using the QOpenGLxx classes (QGL classes are deprecated)
 - minimise LOC by using new QOpenGL functionality where possible
 - remove OpenGL1 support
 - remove legacy private hardware decoders - VDA and CrystalHD (subject to
 agreement)
 - convert existing use of FFmpeg hardware accelerations to new API and
 utilise FFmpeg code where possible (VAAPI and VDPAU)
 - add support for currently unsupported hardware accelerations - CUDA,
 D3D11
 - optimise AND simplify rendering paths for all hardware accelerations
 - remove VideOutputNullVAAPI and VideoOutputNullVDPAU - equivalent
 functionality is now available in AVFormatDecoder
 - add OpenMax EGL render path
 - support higher bit depth video formats - decoder and render. Render with
 simple downsampling, dithered downsampling and lossless where available.
 - enforce compatible and consistent render methods between the UI and
 video
     - OpenGL end to end
     - D3D end to end
     - Qt/Xlib end to end as fallback/legacy
