Add VAAPI support to offload video encoding/decoding to GPU #84

Even if Firefox and Chrome/Chromium support VAAPI, they don't as soon as WebRTC is involved because libwebrtc does not support VAAPI.

This impacts more or less all video-conferencing systems nowadays, either they don't work at all like WebEx or they're a hog on performance (like often BlueJeans).
