Showing hardware decoding on none supported Mac. #3230

System and IINA version:

Expected behavior: My mid2012 MBP equipped with 3rd gen i7&GT650M should not support HEVC hardware decoding.But inspector shows hw decoding is on, just confusing .

Actual behavior: Showing HW decoding on none supported Mac. WX20201127-193254

This is because the VideoToolbox API also includes a software HEVC decoder since High Sierra, which it will fall back to if hardware decoding is not available. This is separate from the software decoder that IINA itself uses.

Thanks.
