vd_lavc: add "auto" choice for vd-lavc-dr
--vd-lavc-dr defaulted to "yes", which caused issues on certain
hardware. Instead of disabling it, add a new "auto" value and
make it the default.
The "auto" choice will enable DR only when we can request host-cached
buffers (as signalled by the new VO_DR_FLAG_HOST_CACHED).
