libSceVdecsw is the software H.264 decoder interface PPSA05684 uses for
its movies. Decoder creation, compute queues, memory queries, decode
input and output, AVC picture info, reset and finalize are implemented
with the layouts of shadPS4's vdecsw.h, checked against the title's
movie decoder, and decode through libSceVideodec2. The H.264 stream the
Videodec2 test uses moves to a shared fixture, and a guest test decodes
it through Vdecsw.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (PPSA05684) plays its movies through libSceVdecsw and stopped at sceVdecswQueryComputeMemoryInfo.
EVO-PLAYER (PPSA99039) creates resident AVC, HEVC and VP9 decoders at
start-up, and stopped at "Videodec2: unsupported codec" on the HEVC one.
Codec types 974921 (HEVC) and 2382845 (VP9) now open FFmpeg's HEVC and
VP9 decoders. HEVC input goes through the same Annex B conversion as
H.264 and VP9 frames are passed through; output stays 8-bit NV12, and a
frame deeper than 8 bits throws. Picture info throws for HEVC and VP9,
whose layouts differ from the AVC one.

Adds libSceVideodec2. Access units (Annex B, or length-prefixed rewritten to
Annex B) are decoded by FFmpeg's H.264 decoder into the title's NV12 frame
buffers (256-byte pitch, chroma after the visible luma rows). Decode hands
out at most one picture per call, Flush drains the reordered ones, Reset
clears the decoder; timestamps and attached data travel with the picture.
FFmpeg is found through pkg-config and is optional: without it the decoders
return black pictures. guest_videodec2_tests checks the pictures of an
embedded stream against reference hashes.
