Integrate video encoder with va-api support with Rust #48

Likely would be libavcodec in Rust. Va-api is a stretch goal to get hardware-accelerated support in. Needs to be able to get raw video frames/packets/components out to send over a connection, e.g. QUIC or most likely WebSockets because everything's all drafts still after all these years.

gstreamer looked both too complex and not low level enough to pull out packets. Cool framework though.
most likely will be using ffmpeg-related tech. ac-ffmpeg looks promising.
moq-rs also apparently integrates something ffempg-related AND exports it directly as a WARP stream under the moq-pub package, that may be the path forward here.

Blocked until moq-rs integrated. Likely will be adapting moq-pub tool to be a library. Some work will need to be done to handle audio, potentially will be its own issue included in upcoming libretro issues.
