Intel Vulkan Linux Driver Lands Initial Support for VP9 Decoding

Introduced last week with Vulkan 1.4.317 was Vulkan Video support for VP9 video decoding. Following that the open-source Radeon "RADV" Vulkan driver landed its VK_KHR_video_decode_vp9 support and now similarly the open-source Intel Vulkan driver has too.

Merged today to Mesa 25.2 for the Intel ANV driver is support for Vulkan Video VP9 video decoding with the VK_KHR_video_decode_vp9 extension.

Hyunjun Ko of Igalia was the one who worked out this VP9 Vulkan-based video decoding for the Intel driver on Linux. This merge has all the details on this VP9 support that is also passing all the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) cases for VP9 decoding except for two tests at the moment.
