x/y chroma values (used for both VDPAU and VAAPI pixel formats) are
currently never used, and there is the possibility (see Gwenole patch)
that they will be dropped in the future, also I have not so many great
ideas about how the components should be filled for these formats.

So my idea is to commit this patch, which completes the
av_pix_fmt_descriptors list, thus enabling their use in applications.

The test program may be eventually committed in another patch.
