feat(player): HDR output for software-decoded video on Android

Software-decoded HDR always collapsed to SDR on Android: the EGL
window surface carried no colorspace, so PQ/HLG content that fell back
to software decode rendered through an SDR surface, and Android was
excluded from the hdr-enabled path outright.

The GL vo now requests a BT2020-PQ window surface (fork patch, pinned
libmpv v1.1.3) and Android joins the hdr-enabled path, so software
decode keeps HDR scanout and tone mapping happens only when the
display genuinely cannot show HDR.

/**
* Which mpv `egl-output-format` this device can pair with a BT.2020 PQ window
* surface, or null when HDR GL output is unavailable. 10-bit fixed point is
* preferred; fp16 is the fallback because some drivers (Tegra among them)
* expose the PQ colorspace but no 1010102 window config.
*
* Both halves are required by the mpv side: the fork's android GL context asks
* for `EGL_EXT_gl_colorspace_bt2020_pq` on the window surface, and the app
* pairs it with an `egl-output-format` that makes mpv's EGL config selection
* fail outright when no matching config exists - so this probe must be
* consulted before those options are ever set.
