vaapi_encode: Choose profiles dynamically
Previously there was one fixed choice for each codec (e.g. H.265 -> Main profile), and using anything else then required an explicit option from the user. This changes to selecting the profile based on the input format and the set of profiles actually supported by the driver (e.g. P010 input will choose Main 10 profile for H.265 if the driver supports it). The entrypoint and render target format are also chosen dynamically in the same way, removing those explicit selections from the per-codec code.
