Changes

Add full HWA transcoding pipeline for Rockchip RKMPP
HW decoder (MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H264, HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1)
HW encoder (H264, HEVC) up to 1080p@480fps / 4k@120fps on RK3588
HW scaler, format conversion and subtitle burn-in
HW HDR-to-SDR tone-mapping (requires OpenCL, RK3588 only)
The OpenCL runtime can be download install from:
libmali-valhall-g610-g13p0-x11-wayland-gbm_1.9-1_arm64.deb
Support lossless AFBC (Arm frame buffer compression) to save memory bandwidth and improve FPS
Support async RGA filter and MPP encoder

Notes

Tested with Rockchip linux kernel 5.10 and 6.1 on RK3588. Mainline is not supported.
Jellyfin MUST be granted permission to access these device files.
