Allows 30-bit colour depth to be used

gstreamer-vaapi fails to open a window when the display is set to 30-bit colour
depth. Here's the output:

I tracked down the error to this bit of code in gstvaapiutils_x11.c:

  XGetWindowAttributes (dpy, rootwin, &wattr);
  depth = wattr.depth;
  if (depth != 15 && depth != 16 && depth != 24 && depth != 32)
    depth = 24;

which clamps the colour depth to 24, which fails with the NVIDIA binary driver
as it doesn't advertise a TrueColor visual with a depth of 24 (only 30 and 32).
Allowing the depth to be 30, lets everything work as expected.
