nvenc support

1. Mostly taken from https://github.com/scfarley/ports/commit/42b8875ea435c0fb4ff8a1d9db8797f6fa25be37.

2. Would be nice to make this a default setting as well.

3. At the moment there are no native FreeBSD versions of libcuda.so/libnvidia-encode.so/libnvcuvid.so, so to actually use NVENC we need to load the Linux binaries for those libs with the help of emulators/libc6-shim and the `nv-sglrun` script from that port. Something like this:

% sudo pkg install nvidia-driver linux-nvidia-libs libc6-shim obs-studio
% nv-sglrun obs

4. nvidia-driver version should be >= 495.

    multimedia/ffmpeg: add NVENC option

    On FreeBSD requires nvidia-driver >= 495 for CUDA initialization fix
    and linux-nvidia-libs + libc6-shim until nvidia-driver provides native
    libcuda.so, libnvidia-encode.so, libnvcuvid.so.

    multimedia/ffmpeg: enable NVENC by default

    - NVIDIA GPUs are popular on FreeBSD (due to direct vendor support)
    - No extra dependencies for package-only users
    - No changes at runtime unless explicitly requested

    multimedia/mpv: enable NVDEC by default after 9db4ec993805

    $ man mpv
    [...]
    NOTE:
       Most non-copy methods only work with the OpenGL GPU backend.
       Currently, only the vaapi, nvdec and cuda methods work with
       Vulkan.
