vd_lavc: add support for nvdec hwaccel

See manpage additions.

(In ffmpeg-mpv and Libav, this is still called "cuvid". Libav won't work
yet, because it has no frame params support yet, but this could get
fixed soon.)

+    ``nvdec`` is a newer implementation of CUVID/CUDA decoding, which uses the
+    FFmpeg decoders for file parsing. Experimental, is known not to correctly
+    check whether decoding is supported by the hardware at all. Deinterlacing
+    is not supported. Since this uses FFmpeg's codec parsers, it is expected
+    that this generally causes fewer issues than ``cuda``. Requires ffmpeg-mpv.

     Most video filters will not work with hardware decoding as they are
     primarily implemented on the CPU. Some exceptions are ``vdpaupp``,
     ``vdpaurb`` and ``vavpp``. See `VIDEO FILTERS`_ for more details.
