lavc: vdpau: Add support for new hw_frames_ctx and hw_device_ctx API
This supports retrieving the device from a provided hw_frames_ctx, and automatically creating a hw_frames_ctx if hw_device_ctx is set. The old API is not deprecated yet. The user can still use av_vdpau_bind_context() (with or without setting hw_frames_ctx), or use the API before that by allocating and setting hwaccel_context manually. Cherry-picked from Libav commit 1a7ddba5. (Adds missing APIchanges entry to the Libav version.) Reviewed-by: Mark Thompson <sw@jkqxz.net>

+ vdpau hardware accelerated decoding now supports the new hwaccel API, which
+ can create the decoder context and allocate hardware frame automatically.
+ See AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx and AVCodecContext.hw_frames_ctx.

2017-03-xx - xxxxxxx - lavc 57.85.100 - avcodec.h
Add AVCodecContext.hwaccel_flags field. This will control some hwaccels at
a later point.
