VAAPI-accelerated video: new flag required by Chromium 90/91, and please link in the PPA to Arch wiki #112

Just a heads up that Chromium 91.0.4449.6 (maybe 90 too, I'm not sure) requires a new flag to enable VAAPI-accelerated video decoding: --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder .

Also, the PPA's readme currently reads:

== Hardware Video Decoding ==

To enable hardware video decoding, open chrome://flags, search for
"Hardware-accelerated video", enable the entry, and restart Chromium.

This isn't great advice, as 1. incomplete, and 2. changing all the time.

May I suggest the PPA readme to be blank, and simply link to the most up-to-date community-maintained doc on how to enable it, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chromium#Hardware_video_acceleration ?

PPA description has been updated to specify the current method of enabling VAAPI video decoding, as well as a link to the Arch wiki.
