Add Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 V4L2 Stateless HEVC Hardware Acceleration with FFmpeg #27453
This PR enables V4L2 stateless HEVC hardware acceleration for Raspberry Pi 5 within OpenCV's videoio module. It leverages FFmpeg's drm acceleration ([FFmpeg API changes](ee1f79b0fa/doc/APIchanges (L1529))), significantly improving HEVC decoding performance on RPi5 for robotics and embedded vision applications.
I have a working proof-of-concept with local benchmarks showing clear gains.
Checklist Status:
Ready: License, branch (4.x), FFmpeg reference, and (linked) related issue (#27452).
Seeking Guidance: Need help with formal C++ performance/accuracy tests, opencv_extra integration, and full documentation/examples.
As a Python developer, I welcome C++ best practice feedback and assistance with testing setup.
