FFmpeg Adds AMD AMF Decoder, FSR-Based Upscaling

Landing this week in the FFmpeg open-source library that is widely-used by multimedia applications was NVIDIA video acceleration improvements for Blackwell GPUs. These video filters make use of AMF hardware acceleration on Radeon GPUs with "vpp_amf" providing simple scaling algorithms and color conversion. In addition to the AMFDEC and new video filters, hwcontext_amf was added to FFmpeg as a means of a new shared AMF context across encoders/decoders/filters that allows bypassing memory copies to the host RAM.
