Hardware acceleration on Windows 10

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

As Keith said, 1.16 supported hw-accelerated encoding/decoding with
the Intel Media SDK and the Nvidia video codec SDK, but you would have
to build that yourself using Cerbero.

1.18 supports Intel Media SDK, Nvidia's Video Codec SDK, and also
supports encoding on all GPU vendors with Mediafoundation and decoding
with DXVA2 / D3D11. See:

You can try them out with the 1.17.90 pre-release MSVC installers
