There are two major ways of going about this:
1. Expose the native ra_gl/ra_pl/ra_d3d11 objects to the pre-existing
hwdec mappers, and then add code in vo_gpu_next to rewrap those
ra_tex objects into pl_tex.
2. Wrap the underlying pl_opengl/pl_d3d11 into a ra_pl object and expose
it to the hwdec mappers, then directly use the resulting pl_tex.
I ultimately opted for approach 1 because it enables compatibility with
more hardware decoders, specifically including ones that use native
OpenGL calls currently. The second approach only really works with
cuda_vk and vaapi_pl.
This is done to avoid cluttering vo_gpu_next.c with more ifdeffery and context-specific code
when additional backends are added in the near future.
Eventually gpu_ctx is intended to take the place of ra_ctx to further separate gpu and gpu_next.
