Either add support for having one codec in multiple categories for the
-vfm option, or just split the 'ffmpeg' one into 'ffmpeg' (FFmpeg
software decoders) and 'vdpau', 'vaapi' etc - I can't at least
immediately think of any important problems with that. I see no reason
to use the "user-unfriendly" ffmpeg_ prefix as in ffmpeg_vaapi; if
there's a need to distinguish later then a specific subgroup with that
prefix can be added.
