[FFmpeg-cvslog] avcodec/nvenc: add high bit depth encoding for HEVC

ffmpeg | branch: master | Diego Felix de Souza <ddesouza at nvidia.com> | Fri Apr 19 08:38:51 2024 +0000| [9d675bb60d2542631f37613aa92b7e1144bbeaa1] | committer: Timo Rothenpieler

avcodec/nvenc: add high bit depth encoding for HEVC

Adding 10-bit encoding support for HEVC if the input is 8-bit. In
case of 8-bit input content, NVENC performs an internal CUDA 8 to
10-bit conversion of the input prior to encoding. Currently, only
AV1 supports encoding 8-bit content as 10-bit.
