  Disable hardware acceleration for PIP/PBP

- this does not currently work as the video display profile code will
return codecs that are not compatible with VideoOutputNull - and player
creation will fail.
- the alternative is to use the decode only version of a decoder for
PiP/PBP - which will require a little work
- probably a good idea to then add a setting for allowing hardware
acceleration of the extra players. Some systes may be able to cope with
multiple hardware decoders (i.e. modern discrete GPUs) but many older
systems, SoCs etc will not. Regardless, multiple hardware decoders is
always likely to be hit and miss - hence a 'you have been warned'
setting:)
