Rewrite FFmpeg decoder selection logic to dynamically discover compatible decoders

This avoids having to maintain a hardcoded list of all known H.264/HEVC/AV1 decoders
and ensures new/unknown decoders will just work automatically (assuming we have
a renderer that can process their output pixel format).
