Corrected VAAPI/VDPAU config help

The config help for graphics/mesa-dri is incorrect for the VAAPI option. I am attaching what I believe is correct text.
Comment 1 Jan Beich freebsd_committer 2018-11-03 07:11:01 UTC 
1. Changes have to be submitted in unified diff(1) format.
2. VDPAU/VAAPI in mesa-dri is for Gallium drivers but i915/i965 are not
3. VDPAU is only supported by r300, r600, radeonsi, nouveau
4. VAAPI is only supported by r600, radeonsi, nouveau
5. drm-kmod meta port may select drm-legacy-kmod which lacks VDPAU/VAAPI
6. bug 230298 already updates pkg-help to match recent state
Comment 2 Johannes Lundberg 2018-11-03 09:37:29 UTC 
Sorry Jan that's not correct.

Correction:
VAAPI is hardware decoding for Intel GPUs.
VDPAU is dito for Radeon and Nvidia.

VAAPI on Intel requires multimedia/libva-intel-driver
VAAPI on NVIDIA requires multimedia/libva-vdpau-driver
VDPAU on NVIDIA requires nvidia-driver + multimedia/libvdpau

Yes I missed that nouvou (or however it’s spelled) does support vaapi as well.

> VAAPI on Intel requires multimedia/libva-intel-driver

More options based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration
- multimedia/libva-intel-driver can partially accelerate VP9 decoding/VP8 encoding via multimedia/libva-intel-hybrid-driver
- multimedia/libva-intel-driver can be replaced (on Broadwell or newer) with multimedia/libva-intel-media-driver (LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD)
