patch

Mesa's -Dvideo-codecs meson option defaults to 'all_free', which strips
patent-encumbered codecs (H.264, H.265) from both VA-API and Vulkan Video
paths. graphics/mesa-libs already overrides this to 'all' for the gallium s=
ide
(radeonsi VA-API), but graphics/mesa-dri, which builds the Vulkan drivers
(RADV, ANV), does not.
RADV on FreeBSD therefore reports VK_KHR_video_encode_queue but no
codec-specific
VK_KHR_video_encode_h264/h265, making the Vulkan Video encode path unusable:

Before this patch:

$ vulkaninfo 2>/dev/null | grep -E "VK_KHR_video_(encode|decode)_(h26[45]|a=
v1)"
| sort
 -u
        VK_KHR_video_decode_av1                       : extension revision 1

After this patch:

$ vulkaninfo 2>/dev/null | grep -E "VK_KHR_video_(encode|decode)_(h26[45]|a=
v1)"
| sort -u
        VK_KHR_video_decode_av1                       : extension revision 1
        VK_KHR_video_decode_h264                      : extension revision 9
        VK_KHR_video_decode_h265                      : extension revision 8
        VK_KHR_video_encode_h264                      : extension revision =
14
        VK_KHR_video_encode_h265                      : extension revision =
14
