small ffmpeg patch

I've created a proof of concept patch adding vdpau support to gst-ffmpeg. The
patch is available at http://github.com/satis/gst-ffmpeg/tree/vdpau and depends
on some not merged changes to gst-plugins-bad at
http://github.com/satis/gst-plugins-bad/tree/vdpau.

It also depends on a small patch to ffmpeg which I will attach to the bug.

As I said it's all kind of rough but any suggestions how it should be done, or
even opinions whether it's a welcome addition or not is very much welcome.

The patch makes five decoders available: ffdec_h264_vdpau,
ffdec_mpegvideo_vdpau,
ffdec_mpeg1video_vdpau, ffdec_vc1_vdpau and ffdec_vmw3_vdpau, but I've only
tested
the h264 and mpeg decoders.
