Decode VVC video (MP4) using the <video> tag

VVC/H.266 is the successor to HEVC, with roughly another 40 % bitrate saving at equal quality. No browser decodes it natively today. This demo demuxes the MP4 container with isobmff_1, decodes the VVC stream with libOpenVVC_1 and re-encodes it to H.264 with libx264_1 so that the native <video> element can play it back.

The source is video-only, so no audio decoder or encoder is needed in the chain.
