vtdec: fallback to software decoding on unsupported frame sizes

The goal here is that vtdec_hw really fails if it can't support the stream in
hardware. If a fallback to another decoder is required, that should be
implemented around this. E.g. decodebin will switch from vtdec_hw to avdec_h264
or vtdec in such situations.

The reason for this is that avdec_h264 is usually the better choice than vtdec
for software decoding. It supports more formats and is usually faster.
