Add libva-v4l2-request-ohm-gl-fix package
Mirrors phase6/step1/ from the ohm_gl_fix campaign. Contract-correct
hantro multi-planar / chromium-149-era stateless H.264 port of
bootlin's libva-v4l2-request, patches 0001..0018 + fourier-local.

Honest characterisation in README:
  - Builds cleanly on chromium-builder LXC (boltzmann)
  - vainfo enumerates H.264 profiles cleanly with LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=v4l2_request
  - NOT on Brave's decode path on ohm_gl_fix stack — Brave uses
    Chromium's own V4L2VideoDecoder in media/gpu/v4l2/.
  - Most likely useful for a future Firefox-via-libavcodec-vaapi
    campaign, modulo a separate Mesa-panfrost WSI pitch issue.
  - DEBUG patches (0010, 0011, 0014) intentionally kept in series
    for development; remove for cleaner production runs.

Subject: [PATCH] DEBUG: sentinel-pattern test for CAPTURE buffer write
Diagnostic-only. Writes 0xab×32 into the CAPTURE buffer's first 32
bytes immediately before VIDIOC_QBUF. The 0010 hex-dump after
DQBUF reveals which case we're in:
- All 0xab → kernel never wrote to this buffer (wrong buffer
chosen, alias, or no decode actually happened despite
bytesused=3655712 reported).
- All zeros → kernel did write 0x00s (overwriting our
sentinel), and the apparent "no picture" output is the
kernel-side decode actually producing zeros (e.g. parser
rejected the bitstream).
- Mix of zeros and real luma values → kernel wrote real
decoded pixels; CPU read sees stale-cached zeros somewhere
OR the sentinel area was a header that decoder zeroed but
rest is real. Need to check more bytes.
- All 0xab still → kernel never touched this region but other
parts of buffer may be filled (incomplete decode).
Removed once Step 1 decode is verified.
